Really enjoyed our week at The Lodge. There was everything we needed to make our stay relaxing and the owner, Graham, was extremely helpful. The hot tub was a bonus and the apple tree in the garden provided lots of tasty fruit. We made the most of our National Trust cards, visiting several properties within an hour's drive or less. Also, Forde Abbey is well worth a visit. Many thanks.
