I cannot recommend Wildcat Lodge enough!! A magical place in the perfect location next to a woodland and river with a mountain view. The lodge was spotless with everything you need and the owner Lynn was very helpful. The decking is enclosed which is great for dogs and the hot tub is an excellent addition where you can watch the red squirrels and birds from. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
