Spotlessly clean and everything is well made. We rented it so my elderly father could stay somewhere on one level and he could get around the lodge easily. Roberto made us very welcome and there was a generous supply of teas coffee milk biscuits and cleaning products. Quiet pretty location, within a short distance from a pub, chip shop and a Sainsburyâs and a short drive to a large town. The gardens would be wonderful at a warmer time of year. If you like a firm pillow at night take one. But Torino lodge is a lovely little escape. Many thanks

This new, purpose built, modern, Italian styled Lodge is finished with high quality fittings and equipment inside and out. The Lodge is absolutely immaculate, bright and airy, with a vaulted ceiling and velux windows in the open plan living and kitchen area. The whole place is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Great to have a shower room as well as an en suite shower, both equipped with rain showers and the tallest, hottest towel rails we've ever seen - lovely during our stay in December! The garden area is fully paved and includes a lot of thoughtful touches such as an outside tap for washing bikes, security lighting, and seating. The owner lives next door. He gave us genuine warm and friendly welcome and helped out with everything we asked about. We have been really pleased with our stay and plan to return for longer next year.

All elements of the property are of a high standard and there was everything there that one would need for a short stay. Hosts were fantastic and reached out to say hello, but weren't overbearing. Our only note would be that the sofas in the living room area were a little uncomfortable for long sitting sessions, and the TV very high on the wall! However, this wouldn't matter at all if you were just using it as a base. We would highly recommended this property!
