Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome too.

We loved our stay at mallard Lodge and would definitely recommend. The weather was awful but expected in January but it didn't stop the kids fun. Lots of places to see. Great walks. Was wonderful to return to a warm, cosy lodge and a relaxing dip in the hot tub. Not fantastic TV reception or WiFi but we were there to escape all that. Anything we needed help with, selina was only a call away. We are looking forward to visiting again. X

Hi Janine
Thank you for your review, lovely to meet you all. So pleased you and your family had such a good time irrespective of the challenges the weather is throwing at us this year. The wifi and TV are now back up to speed there was a intermitent fault within the local area. We look forward to hearing from you for future bookings.
Kind regards Selina
