The Lodge consists of three bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom complete with walk-in shower, a separate bathroom with an enormous bath. The kitchen/dining area is equipped with all the utensils/equipment needed for families to prepare and cook meals if required. There is also two large comfortable sofas adjacent to the dining area with a large television fixed to the wall, with log effect fire fixed below it. We enjoyed our stay there (despite the weather not being too good) and would certainly recommend and consider returning again.

There was nothing in the information book (most of it was out dated (during Covid times) so could do with being updated. We couldn't get hold of the owner as they were not answering there phone. I also sent a message asking where it was but as of yet (3 days later) still no reply. Could not get a disposable BBQ from anywhere. All the meat that I took with me for the BBQ had to be brought back home as a result. Very disappointing. Glad I didn't have any more serious issues that needed to be dealt with whilst we were there. Place was lovely though. And views was amazing. Just disappointing we could not make contact with the owners

More spacious, more luxurious, the view of the lake was stunning. It is a shame that it is such a long way away for us or we would definitely make a lot more trips here. The one tiny comment would be that as we were there for a week it would have been none for the hot tub to have had a mid-point cleaning check, as by the end of the holiday the water could really have done with more chlorine. But this is a fantastic lodge, great location, fabulous to get to the lakes. Other people have said about the M6 noise yes you can hear it but it really was not that loud and would really bother you if you are used to slipping in a silent rural area. Definitely recommend to stay here.
