This truly is a wonderful place to stay. The location is stunning, in peaceful surroundings, and the lodge itself beautiful, cosy and well equipped. One of the most relaxing places we have stayed in a long time. Great for dogs (especially nervous ones!), with quiet walks right from the front door. Thank you to Helen, for such a lovely stay.

If you are looking for some rural peace and quiet then this is the cottage for you. It is very generously sized and really well equipped and when the new porch is finished it will be brilliant for muddy boots and dogs. This property is on our short list of cottages we would return to
