While the lodge was very well furnished we gave comfort a slightly lower score. We are three older people and found the high chairs and the dining table difficult to use particularly for my wife who has mobility issues.This would not be a problem for most people but perhaps could be pointed out in the information provided. Despite this we would not hesitate to recommend this property which has been done to a very high standard. Also appreciated the welcome wine and treat left for our arrival.
