We have now had several lodge holidays in the last couple of years but this was one of the best. The lodges were superb with loads of space and beautiful views. We chose a Squirrel Lodge which had plenty of room for the 6 of us and even had its own hot tub. Excellent!

Had a great week, even although we had a couple of power cuts which were understandable. And even when the thunder and lightning storm took out the Internet, staff couldn't have been more helpful. Cabin was great, perfect for a peaceful getaway.
