The lodge certainly has a wow factor when you walk in! Kitchen is well set up with plenty of cooking pots, crockery, baking things etc.. Fairly stingy supply of consumables - we ran out of washing up liquid, hand soap and toilet roll in our week stay and had to go buy some more. Lodge is very drafty, but the central heating works very well so we were toasty warm for our Xmas stay. General maintenance of the property was a bit low- fridge leaked a bit, upstairs shower leaked through the ceiling, shower risers didnât hold the shower heads up very well, built-in bath plugs didnât work (annoying when we have small children and couldnât use the baths): lots of small issues that werenât deal breakers but just a bit annoying. Towels were supposed to be changed over during our stay but werenât, maybe because it was Christmas. Lovely short walk to be had around the estate; we especially enjoyed looking around the Church and old cemetery. All in we had a great stay despite all of the minor issues.

Spacious and light and wonderfully comfortable, with fantastic walks from the front door. The only minor downside is outside space is accessed across the courtyard and is not attached to the property and although thereâs a table in the courtyard for guests to use it would be ideal to have a more private outside area accessible directly from the property.
