What a lovely place! We got a weekend break on offer and it was great.

What a lovely place! We got a weekend break on offer and it was great. The lodge was lovely and clean, the facilities on site were great, the food in the restaurant was delicious and well worth the money and the staff have exceptional customer service and are so lovely. We stayed Friday to Sunday on a family break and lodge surroundings were so peaceful and quiet and we travelled 20mins to gullivers kingdom for a day out. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

A brilliant, dog focused trip away.

A brilliant, dog focused trip away. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful.We got a pre-arrival call which included info about what is provided in the lodge e.g. 1 x dishwasher tablet, 1 x toilet roll per bathroom.Make sure you ask receipt for walk maps from reception as they include pubs on route.Lodge was clean and tidy on arrival and hot tub well maintained.The only constructive criticism would be a pod coffee machine would be a lovely addition as well as a knife sharpener & a wooden/plastic chopping board.We would love to visit again.

Lovely lodge, would benefit from a couple of cushions or throws to make it cosier but otherwise real

Lovely lodge, would benefit from a couple of cushions or throws to make it cosier but otherwise really well equipped. Clean to a good standard. Hot tub maintained well and chemicals checked twice a day. Relaxed site, quiet, great to chill out, would definitely revisit.
