We’ve just spent another wonderful two week family break staying at the beautiful, peaceful Chestnut Lodge. Highly recommend and already looking returning again next year.

A very nice lodge that went beyond our expectations, it was very peaceful although some might find it a bit isolated as they are still in process of renovating the site, but for us it was perfect and suited our autistic grandson who loved it
