The location is consistently described as peaceful, private, and beautiful, with stunning views and abundant wildlife. It is also noted as being conveniently close to local amenities and attractions.
Comfort is highly rated, with mentions of underfloor heating, comfortable beds, and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests experienced issues with overly warm temperatures and stiff bathroom taps.

Very, very quiet which is what we enjoy. An abundance of wildlife and ideal for country walks and visiting local area.

Spacious & set in such a beautiful, peaceful surrounding that it was perfect for a weeks getaway. Needs to have the front & back porch areas cleaned from algae as I fell on rear wooden patio area. Chicken wire was perfect idea to prevent slips but only used on steps. That was the only fault. The rest was absolutely perfect. We had an evening at the Waterloo pub just up the road. Iâd recommend this to anyone. Dog friendly & cosy. Surrounded by many places to visit & with days spent at the lodge it was fantastic to look out at the perfect view or catch sight of the group of deer.
