Adam
Date of stay: 24th September 2025

lovely cabin, couches are starting to look a lil old and tired but comfy enough and there is a leak in the shower room.

Sarah
Date of stay: 29th August 2025

Absolutely stunning lodge. The furnishings are beautiful and it gives a very relaxing vibe throughout

John
Date of stay: 18th August 2025

Lovely lodge in tranquil setting. Well equipped. Could do with a small waste bin in the second bathroom, an outside sweeping brush to brush the leaves from the decking and an outdoor parasol. As a thought, we think the outside dining table and chairs would be better if placed on the patio area with views of the lake as opposed to its current location looking at the road and no privacy.

ALAN
