Excellent accommodation in a rural setting, which was exactly what was required.The grounds around the lodge were excellently maintained which provided pleasant walks taking in the country views.Everything required to prepare your own meals was available in the kitchen area, with a large dining table as well as outdoor dining being available.Heather was available if we required assistance, but was very respectful of our privacy.I would certainly recommend a stay at The Goyle.

We had a wonderful Easter weekend at The Goyle. It is a very spacious and beautiful Lodge set in stunning surroundings. Everything was clean and the beds very very comfortable. Equipped with everything you need and there is also a washing machine, dish washer and wood burner. Extremely cozy. The Goyle is a perfect base to explore the area or just to spend your time relaxing in the picturesque scenery. Feel really lucky to have found such a lovely place and have recommended to family and friends for the future.
