WeLOVED it. It was so warm & cosy. Everything had been supplied, ie ironing board, hair dryer, hoover, etc A HUGE bonus was that you can park right outside your property. ( we had looked at other properties but there was either no parking or 1st come gets the space) I suppose if I had to think of one negative for this property, and this isnât really a negative, it would have been nice to be able to vacate the property by 10 or 11 instead of 9. Thought that was abit early, and if weâd have brought the grandchildren with us it would have been a mega rush. Most properties weâve stayed in have been 10. Having said that, if that has to be then so be it, it wouldnât stop me recommending to others. The hosts were lovely people and wish them well.

It's harder coming back up again though! The lodge was comfortable for the four of us. The resident guinea fowl were a constant source of entertainment, I have some magical video footage of their antics.

Just a few recommendations going forward: - more hot water, we all had to have very QUICK showers (literally 3 minutes) as the hot water ran out - A welcome pack with info about local info, local shops to buy essentials, local restaurants, car parks, walks etc, this would have been helpful - some shelving in the bathroom as there was no where to put wash bags - extra plugs in the bedrooms - the property was dog friendly but not dog safe as it wasn't properly secured, the main entrance was open to the main road and therefore it meant that you could only let your dogs out on a lead - A dog poo bin is required, (there was no where apart from the main Biffa bin to put poo bags)
