It had all kitchen utensils, a nice, big dining and sitting area. The bathroom was big with a shower and a separate bath. The garden was very private with a marvellous hot tub. In All, the lodge was excellent and cleaned to a high standard.

Highly reccomended. Theres was only a few downfalls, on the original listing it stated travel cots and highchairs could be requested but once paid for the information i was sent stated no requests for a cot or highchair could be made. Which made our stay a bit more difficult as we had to rearrange the furniture to make the bed safe for a baby and baby was very unsettled until the late hours because she was bed sharing. The baby gates on the decking were a selling point for me on the advert as i have a secerely disabled daughter who needs to be enclosed. But upon arrival we realised the baby gates were broken and I had to secure them myself with a bag strap to prevent my children from falling down a steep decline. But it wasnt the end of the world and easily resolved. The internet connection didnt work and I had to spend time connecting the tv to my phones internet. Which again is fine for me, I come to enjoy nature not watch tv. But it was essential to keep 2 children with disabilities entertained. All in all it was a beautiful lodge, very clean and the views were stunning.
