Really enjoyed our stay here! An absolute bargain price for a large space (we were only two people) and the hot tub was lovely, clean, hot and easy to use! The location is wonderful for exploring and peace and quiet. The chalet was really warm even in November and the bath is a nice touch. Kitchen is perfectly stocked and great to cook in. Beds were really comfy and clean. As some reviews say it probably is due a bit of a revamp on decor but that really doesnt detract from the stay, parts of the chalet could have been a tiny bit cleaner but again for what you pay for we really werent looking at that! It was great and we would definitely come back, thank you!

Goo value for money. Value for money, space and layout. Linen usually means inc towels, unles stated otherwise. So ideally listing updated to reflect this (we took towels for hot tub, but would be good to know if none for general use)

Comfortable lodge one of three with fantastic views ,very peaceful. The hot tub was well maintained and screened off from the the lodge next to it .The lodge is a bit dated but had everything you would need. The owner introduced herself and asked if all was ok.There were lots of leaflets and information of the local area to visit. There is a Morrisons not to far away to shop. Would return again a comfortable lodge.
