Guests find the lodge comfortable, with mentions of comfy beds and sofas, and a relaxing atmosphere enhanced by the surrounding nature and soothing sounds of the brook.
The property is well-received for its well-equipped kitchen and spacious layout. However, there were concerns about the water supply's colour and taste, which affected the score.

Great place to recharge ones batteries, local shops a few miles away, friendly locals in all the villages we visited. Great to meet the owner of the property and no problems at all. A great time had by us all.
