Lovely charming building with loads of character based in a very quiet little hamlet. Spacious and had everything we needed including a continuous supply of logs for the two log burners which made things very cosy. We had a great time with friends taking in some stunning local walks. Would definitely visit again.

Masongill Lodge provides well appointed and spacious accommodation. We had a very relaxing week there. The large garden is an additional benefit when the sun is out and there is an outside dining table and chairs. The surroundings are very quiet. It would have been useful to have a micro wave and the bedroom immediately above the Aga was reported as being overly warm during the night.
