Alison
The area was perfect. Secluded, quiet and peaceful. However, shops were just a 10 minute drive away. The cabin and surrounding woods were spotless. As was the hot tub. Plenty of forest walks for the dog, and lots of wildlife to see from the cabin window. We particularly liked watching the squirrels. David & Helen were just a text or phone call away if we needed anything. We loved our time at Moorhen Lodge, and are now home feeling refreshed and well rested. We would definitely recommend a visit.

The log cabin was everything you could ask for, spotless, comfortable, everything at hand that is needed and more. The peace and quiet is perfect if you are looking for a relaxing holiday. Plenty of places to visit and amazing views. It's good to waken in the morning and watch the birds and red squirrels eating off the feeders. The hosts go far and beyond to make sure you have everything you need and ask you to contact them if anything is required. We will definitely return to Moorhen lodge in the future Karen and John
