However, the thing that we appreciated most was the lovely owners (Jacqui and Jeremy) and the staff (Dave & Nina) who paid extra attention to make sure that our stay is perfect. We can't... More

The rooms have been done up beautifully, we could not fault any of the meals we ate there, the atmosphere is so relaxing. And the location of course is... More

We have been visiting the lodge for many years and have always loved our stay. This year was extra special thanks to the improvements our hosts have made. They have retained the character whilst making the place feel a little more modern. The food and wine was delicious and we wanted for nothing. Our hosts made us feel at home... More
