Lovely stay! Very comfortable lodge, spotlessly clean and very warm and welcoming. Jessie our cockapoo had the best time saying good morning to the chickens and horses,thankyou for the fresh eggs and bottle of wine. When we got home we realised we had left our jackets behind and Clive emailed us to let us know and very kindly offered to post them back to us which was promptly done! Very grateful and thankful.

We took our elderly parents away for a long weekend who both have very limited mobility and we was amazed how accommodating the lodge was The accessible shower room couldn't be any better plus the living accommodation The weather wasn't the best but the walks were great We will be returning again hopefully in the summer and perhaps help out on the farm. Only downside was the local shop was a little out the way but the pub was only a few minutes away for food and drink. Friendly hosts
