We came here for a 4 night stay as a family of four with 2 kids. We couldnt have been happier with the lodge itself it was very clean and tidy with the most amazing views. The couple at reception were lovely and couldnt have been more helpful with any of our questions. The hot tub was one of the best parts perfect for relaxing and was very private so you felt comfortable. Would recommend to everyone and will definitely be back.
