Was the perfect spot for a family get together. This is my second time of visiting and this time we rented all 3 cabins for a family celebration. Everything was perfect and the grounds are immaculate. Such great value for money (which is vary rare these days). I slept on the sofa bed (being the youngest of the group) and even this was lovely and comfortable. We will be back for sure x

Our family of four had a wonderful time at the lodge! We were impressed with the layout and especially the light and roomy atmosphere. A very well appointed loge with all the facilities and all in great condition. The main highlight was the hot tub! Its under cover and has a great view of country side. Sitting outside in the morning with a coffee or in the evening with glass of wine the atmosphere was so relaxing. Highly recommended!!!
