The Lodge was so cosy, just what we needed for a nice break after christmas. The Lodge had everything we needed. We had a welcome package of prosecco, chocolates and eggs. The bath tub in the bedroom was a lovely touch, and the sauna in the bathroom was very useful after being in hottub. The nearby village was very picturesque, especially with the frosty days. We visited The Plough which is about 10 minute walk. The pub was very friendly, we even joined in with the weekly quiz night. The food is also nice and well presented. We are looking to re-book later in the year.
