Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous guests noting its spotless condition. One review mentioned that some utensils could have been cleaner, but this appears to be an isolated comment amidst overall excellent feedback.
The location is highly praised for being peaceful, ideal for wildlife watching, and offering a sense of seclusion. Its proximity to walking paths and local villages adds to its appeal. The lodge's setting contributes significantly to the relaxing experience enjoyed by guests.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests mentioning modern and comfortable furniture, a comfy bed, and a cosy atmosphere enhanced by a wood-burning stove. The tranquil environment also contributes to the overall comfort of the stay.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the hot tub, which is frequently highlighted as a highlight. Some minor suggestions for improvement include additional outdoor furniture and fairy lights for better night-time ambience. The presence of a washing machine and other modern utilities is appreciated.
While the reviews reflect a positive experience, there is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Thereâs a few cheeky squirrels that let you know theyâd like feeding, lots of pheasants that come right up to the lodge, plenty of different birds will come if you put food down for them. We were even lucky enough to see a deer one morning. Itâs so peaceful with stunning surroundings, the lodge is equipped with everything you need. Plenty of nice walks near by too and places to eat out if you choose. Take plenty of bird nuts and seed and the wildlife will be right outside your door. Highly recommended, we will definitely be retuning.
