The hot tub is a popular feature, although some guests noted temperature issues. The location is quiet and ideal for walks, though the local pub's opening times were a concern for some.

Most guests found the lodge to be very clean and well-kept, with only one mention of a pet-related odour, which may affect those without pets.

We had a great time in this quirky cottage. Pleasantly surprised with the modern amenities like the dishwasher. Everything in the cottage was perfectly adequate for our needs. The hot tub was a lovely addition with the perfect little patio and view. The garden was perfectly secure for the dogs to have freedom in. Would love to stay again

3 things required, internet, smart tv and Newley renovated. All not as advertised , we are Currently in dispute with the owner over a ruined Christmas week stay. Before arriving I had read the last review on the no internet, therefore I was fixated on this on arrival. When we arrived, the BT box is blinking orange, The internet doesn’t work, I ended up calling the owner to address the router issue, her response was simply to “turn it off and on again.” Explained one had done this ample times. Well nothing I can do was the response. Therefore I went through the booking company, who couldn’t get her to take responsibility either—she just washed her hands of the situation. I should have asked to be released but as it was Christmas, we had a disabled dog & travelled 4 hours. Where else am I going, so we tried to make the most of it. But Then you start to notice the building feels like it’s subsiding—you generally will feel like you’re walking on a boat, extremely slanted floors and all the doors slam shut on their own. Most of the walls, doors, and ceilings have cracks, the description stating this place “newly renovated” is very misleading, they even tried to say “it’s just settlement” after the makeover. We also ran out of gas half way through , luckily we noticed in the day and it got replaced quickly. Otherwise no heating or hot water. Our last few nights, we had violent scratching and squealing in the roof above the fireplace, shower room and main bedroom, rats or birds? . With all the issues we had, we documented this daily to the booking company and they forwarded it to the owner. Who has completely dismissed our concerns and just keeps saying the last guests didn’t mind. Therefore I’m leaving this review to ensure no one else makes the mistake of staying here. If you need working internet and undisturbed sleep, make sure all these issues above have been resolved before booking.
