We have had this lodge on many occasions. It has always been excellent in cleanliness and cosy cannot fault the accommodation in anyway. All the staff are fantastic and friendly. Fishing is excellent you have your own peg so what more can you ask for we are already booked for two hoildays next year.

Very nice lodge over looking small fishing lake. Very isolated but suited us well. Had breakfast in the lovely cafe, very good menu and superb food. Would have been great if it had been open in the evening.Welcome pack - would be better if we knew what was included., would have expected some milk for a cuppa on arrival. Thankfully the cafe was still open and helped us out…
