Comfortable lodge one of three with fantastic views ,very peaceful. The hot tub was well maintained and screened off from the the lodge next to it .The lodge is a bit dated but had everything you would need. The owner introduced herself and asked if all was ok.There were lots of leaflets and information of the local area to visit. There is a Morrisons not to far away to shop. Would return again a comfortable lodge.

The accommodation needs a good deep clean as there was thick dust on all the picture frames, the bath had long black hairs in it - we never saw the owners - the light outside didn’t work so were unable to use the hot tub as it was pitch black at night - there was no hot water from the bathroom tap- the dvd player kept skipping so couldn’t watch anything and the pack of cards had some missing

Cabin was lovely and warm , clean , comfortable , and well equipped . Owners were very friendly but not intrusive , had a problem of no hot water one morning and Mark was soon down to fix it. Hot tub was was a joy to relax in . Cabin in need of a touch up looking a bit dated , but overall enjoyed our stay and would stay again.
