Iâd just like to say what a pleasure it was to stay at this particular lodge ( Mon Reve ) whoever the owner is should be told that the little things like the milk in the fridge the tea / coffee the nibbles etc were unexpected in this day and age but greatly appreciated the comfort cleanness and the equipment in the kitchen second to none they really should be proud of the effort thatâs been put in to make complete strangers so welcome so whoever you are we as a couple and one happy dog would sincerely like to thank you for a wonderful holiday Ps every chance we will be back one day

Well equipped, only fault was that one side of the toaster didn't work (right side). The site is lovely and quiet with the added bonus of the grass cutters (sheep) visiting daily. Very reasonably priced too. The cleaners were only just leaving as we arrived because they thought it was 4pm check in and not 3pm but the lodge was immaculate and the stressless chairs were a delight.

The lodge was really clean and tidy and gave me the ability to relax and use the kitchen without issue. I was able to get out walking just above the pub on site, but feel a book with some suggestions of whatâs available on site and locally would be a great addition for people attending. I had a Mi-fi dongle and that meant I could access Wi-fi, I noticed I could have gone on local Parkdean Wi-if but that seemed slow and was interrupted. Might be a thought to get own Wi-fi to lodge as that would assist guests. Saw cleaner on arrival who was really pleasant and gave good local advice, which was welcomed. Would stay here again, dogs really enjoyed themselves, thank you.
