Great bathroom. Wood fired hot tub is such a treat and we had marshmallows on the fire pit. Would bring extra wood with you if you can. Had meals at the Chequers pub would recommend. Gorgeous walking routes. Perfect for a few days of slowing down.

Being an intimate lodge with its hot tub, the gentle and well-planned atmosphere added glamour to our romantic getaway. Each element helped to create a calm and warm atmosphere where we could relax and enjoy each otherâs presence. We enjoyed every minute spent there and we are looking forward to going back again soon. Thank you for such a great experience! Best, Josh
