What a beautiful, peaceful haven. It is the second time we have visited Brook Lodge and will not hesitate to go back. The lodge is immaculate, the setting is tranquil and private and the whole set-up is perfect if travelling with a dog. We were completely undisturbed and the hot tub is absolutely perfection- clean, clearly highly maintained and in an excellent spot. We can't wait to visit again.
