The location is highly praised for its perfect setting and spectacular views, contributing to the overall excellent experience of the guests.
Comfort is frequently highlighted, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the lodge well-equipped for a relaxing stay. Some guests suggested that the bedding could be of higher quality for an even more comfortable experience.
Facilities like the hot tub are a highlight, though recurring maintenance issues with the hot tub and suggestions for additional amenities slightly lower the score. The daily maintenance checks are appreciated, but consistent functionality is a concern.

We had a wonderful view and loved the enclosed decking area for our dog. Very comfortable lodge for a Christmas break. We loved the Christmas tree and welcome pack, a perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary and Christmas. The hot tub and staff were wonderful and even checked it on Christmas Day! Thankyou
