Lovely chalet - has everything you need and really cute decor. Direct access to the main road to get out and about and a great orbital walk from the village. My only moan would be the mattresses were not great (3 adults) and the towels were small and definitely need upgrading.Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our week

Very well equipped Lodge . Wasn’t expecting shampoo, conditioner, shower gel , hand soap , toilet & kitchen roll & a lot of other kitchen related things to be supplied. A lot of little touches you don’t get in other self catering accommodation. The owner has literally thought of everything. The only things you need to take is personal beauty products & food . Highly recommend
