Some minor issues were noted, but overall, the experiences were very positive.
The lodge is frequently described as immaculate and very clean, with only one mention of a stain on a mattress, which seems to be an isolated incident.
The location is lauded for its stunning scenery, privacy, and wildlife. It is also well-connected for exploring further afield, with the nearby town of Bampton and the Grand Western Canal.
The lodge is noted for its spaciousness and comfortable beds, although one guest found the mattresses a bit too soft for their personal preference.
Facilities are highly rated, with a well-stocked kitchen and TVs in every room. The hot tub is a favourite feature. One guest requested a fly zapper, indicating responsive maintenance.
Guests appreciated the welcome gifts, such as prosecco and biscuits, and the provision of separate towels for the hot tub. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided on every occasion.

Suitable for wheelchair access and very comfortable for all the family! Kitchen is very well equipped and the hot tub is the cherry on top! Will definitely be back and look forward to seeing the wonderful hosts again and exploring more of the local area.

Beautiful lodge, everything you could wish for, tranquil setting,we thouroughly enjoyed our holiday,spotless lodge and surrounding area,we will definitely be back,our only disappointing fact was on stripping our bed on the handover day, we were shocked and very alarmed to find a huge stain on the mattress,for a place with such high standards I'm sure you will agree this is not acceptable
