The lodge was clean - but it lacked any cosy feeling - very spares decoration .a lovely welcome pack was left for us but we would have liked some more basic items such as a washing up bowl and washing up liquid, clothes etc. A few dishwasher tablets left.

The lodge is beautiful. Its safe to say its probably the nicest self catering property weve ever stayed in. It was so comfortable. We all commented how well we slept, and the lounge was lovely to relax in. Two TVs meant our son could play on his games upstairs while we watched TV downstairs. The hot tub was lovely (although only really room for 2) Read moreand to stargaze on the balcony listening to the owls was magical. The review book is worth a read as we booked places because of it :-) Hide

A lovely lodge with amazing views. As it was new and had only had a couple of previous guests, everything was wonderfully clean and in lovely condition.
