Chose to visit Great Wood lodges for our annual fishing trip. The lodge itself was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a nice break. We were right next to the lake which is well stocked with some larger carp too. Lots of wildlife with a kestrel that paid us a visit. Overall, fab stay, would deffo go again.
