Lauryn
The lodge is in a really remote location which allows you to feel totally shut off from the world. The hot tub was an amazing way to wind down after a long day of walking. Couldnât recommend this property more.

It was so peaceful and tranquil.There was plenty of walks for the dogs just outside your door . The added bonus was the hot tub to relax in and take in the ambience and unwind. Big American fridge /freezer was a bonus,if weâd have known it was a big unit would have brought more food etc with us, need to state that in advert for the lodge. Huge safe,secure garden was ideal so no need to worry about our dogs escaping ,great peace of mind. Will definitely book again,
