Best holiday we have in a long time,lovely place food in the restaurant was a bit dear but enjoyed it

Verified Guest

Date of stay: 26th August 2025

Lodge was absolutely great. Very novel and beautifully fitted out. Lovely relaxing place to sit out at night.One star removed because access ramp was very steep to carry things from the car. Be aware of this if you have mobility issues. Maybe worse than usual at the moment because of low water levels.Marked down 'Facilities' because the marina clubhouse was not open in the evening and was rather expensive when it was open. Shame because it was a really nice setting.
