We had s lovely week at oak lodge. It's a beautiful location and the lodge itself is very nice. Great amenities in both bedrooms and good quality bedding. Really like the doors from thd bedrooms directly onto the veranda. Hosts were extremely helpful. There are lovely country walks around the area too. Great getaway If I had one criticism it would be dogs not allowed on settees, beds or even in the bedrooms. Its classed as pet friendly but it's difficult if your pet is your family, enough to take on holiday, and used to being with you. So not strictly pet friendly. Very stern note advising of charges should you allow your pets on the furniture There were also possible charges for other stuff. You are also expected to hoover on departure!I was pleased to get sn email acknowledging how clean we left it.
