The lodge was tastefully decorated and exuded style and comfort. The setting and views were magnificent and the surroundings were so tranquil and peaceful. The hot tub was very much enjoyed, offering relaxation and luxury. We enjoyed sitting around the log burning fire in the evening and the lodge was very warm and cosy. Three generations of our family and our two little dogs had a fabulous time and had everything we needed.

Absolutely incredible lodge! Beautifully done, in a lovely picturesque countryside. Hot tub was amazing! Rooms were lovely and big, lounge/kitchen area very spacious and clean. Only bit I would recommend is about the TV - the remote was impossible to use at times and the TV kept losing signal. But other than that this place is perfect and I will be returning! Thank you Heather for being the perfect Host!
