The best lodge we have ever stayed at. Fully equipped kitchen made it feel like a home from home. Lovely and comfortable and also private too. We saw a deer in the field behind us and loads of red kites. Weather was hit and miss but the hot tub was great regardless of that. Seeing the sky with all the stars at night was beautiful too. Jane was friendly and full of ideas and advice. One place we highly recommend if you go to stay here is to book Kitchen Coos and Ewes for an amazing experience with highland cows. You definitely won’t be disappointed booking Cree lodge we will definitely return.
