The perfect place to unwind! As a family of 3 adults, we loved the peaceful location, - to sleep with the windows open and hear no noise at night was a real treat - the use of the gym, hot tub and natural pool was great. The lodge was well equipped and comfortable and despite the close proximity to the other lodges, felt quiet and private. With lotRead mores to do in the area too, this was a fantastic holiday! Hide

Had the most wonderful time away with 2 adults and 3 children. Also joined by family who stayed in the next door lodge. This was the most beautiful setting with lots of amenities - hot tub, natural swimming pool, gym, swings, chickens, goats, donkeys. Such a friendly and relaxing place to stay. We will be back!
