Moving through the property, the sitting room is where you can curl up with a film on the Smart TV with the electric stove warming the space. In the warmer months, throw the patio doors open and let the fresh air in, or take your meals alfresco for dinner with a view on the wraparound patio.

The owner definitely is one of the best and appreciates repeat bookings. We would definitely like to spend time at the lodge again.

The lodge was beautiful, well equipped and the owner went the extra mile by providing a welcome pack and some little extras for our dog too. We felt extremely relaxed during our stay and we even had some snow on our last day which made the scenery even more magical. We will be back to stay here again!
