  • Rhiannon

    We had a wonderful time at Goosedown Lodge. The location is beautiful and very peaceful. The only thing that wasnt as described was that there is Wi-Fi. It was there and you could connect but it didnt work. Not a huge deal for us but could be for other people if they need acces to the internet as the signal wasnt the best inside the hut. Overall a wonderful experience and the Italian restaurant in town was great!

    Excellent place to stay. Log burner is amazing when it's chilly. Best hot tub even if it is raining. So peaceful and quiet if you need to unwind, will definitely stay again.
