Lovely accommodation in a perfect setting. Really liked sitting outside with the flexibility provided by the outdoor heater for soaking up the tranquility on colder days. Beautiful walks in every direction. Will return.

Fantastic lodge in the perfect location. Family and dog friendly. Clean and very comfortable. Site excellent easy to access all the walks straight from the lodge door and close to towns to explore further. Pool area very clean and tidy however the heated pool and jacuzzi was absolutely freezing 🥶 which was so disappointing.We couldn't get the Xbox to work in the lounge which the kids were looking forward to after walking.We would recommend to others and we would come back( hoping when we do the pool and jacuzzi will actually be heated and warm)
