This was a beautiful house to stay in, absolutely everything you could ever need in a house was provided, a great welcome gift on arrival with tea coffee milk and sugar cake and a bowl of fresh fruit so you can relax with a hot drink and a treat on arrival. Easily located thanks to the host’s instructions. I can’t really list all the things I liked about the house but suffice to say I heartily recommend it.

I would definitely recommend the Mead Lodge. Nice quite area near town and sea. I would definitely go back again. The Lodge had all the facilities that was needed. Thank you Geoff for letting me stay in your lovely Lodge.

This location is well situated for the local amenities. The flat was warm and welcoming as entered and did not let us down. Being greeted with a cake, fruit, milk and biscuits were a lovely touch. We will rebook when we are next in the are again.
