We had a wonderful weekend in Heron Lodge. The lodge is beautifully located, with immediate access to a lovely trail by the river. The lodge itself was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed, the welcome pack was also very much appreciated. Bill is a great host with lots of knowledge hints and tips and is extremely responsive if you have aRead moreny questions or queries. We were all sad to leave and hope to be back again, maybe in the winter when we can make use of the lovely log burner. Hide

Lovely lodge inside and out, with walks from the door. The owner Bill came and introduced hiself to us, what a lovely and very helpful man he was nothing to much trouble. Kitchen looked well equipped, we didnt cook anything as ate out alot due to plenty of nice places to visit in the area. Hot tub nice to relax in after a busy day out.
