The lodges are in a great location and the site is very quiet and peaceful.However there were a number of issues with the lodge which let it down in our opinion.The main things were the shower in the 2nd bedroom the door has been removed and a curtain put in its place which isn't good.Also several light bulbs in the property are out including the cooker hood and above the sink ..Tye cooker temperature light isnt working and the minute timer is so quiet i coulldnt hear it to start with.The TV in the bedroom only plays the same chanel as the lounge.The list unfortunately goes on and on .I feel that this lodge could do with a really good overhaul as the competition is quite high as other lodges that are basically all the same now have a more up to date feel about them.I wouldn't recommend this to anyone else

Three generation family holiday which we all thoroughly enjoyed, nothing negative whatsoever. Accommodation, situation and weather all good. We needed to contact the owner and received a prompt and courteous response. We wouldn’t hesitate to use or recommend this lodge again.
