What a wonderful week we had! The lodge itself was fully equipped with everything you could possibly need, beautifully clean and well presented throughout. The gorgeous welcome pack was thoughtfully created and the added bonus of a hot tub, with Bluetooth speakers, helped us to relax after a fabulous day exploring the local countryside. We will definitely be booking this lodge again in the near future as it was perfect! Thanks to Carol for a wonderful stay!

In the words of my autistic son "the best holiday ever,"The peace the lodge gave us was wonderful. With only sheep for neighbors was brilliant. We all relaxed and the hot tub was the icing on the cake
