Perfect location, lovely well equipped chalet and very easy to find. Some lovely walks nearby. I’d have liked some interior photos of the chalet rather than location photos on the information page but that might be personal preference. Really nothing to complain about at all, my only concern was the safety of the steps in wet weather with so many leaves because they became slippery and the handrail on the concrete steps was loose. Nice and snug in cooler conditions. My two dogs and I had a lovely stay and would highly recommend it.

Fantastic holiday! Weather was great. Views terrific. Lodge was very comfortable with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. You can spend all day taking in the views and fresh air. Sam the collie absolutely loved his week. Was good to share the lodge with the swifts - so relaxing to watch them. We will be back next year.
