I booked this property at the last minute, for a weeks break with my husband who now relies on a small portable mobility scooter to get about outdoors. From this point of view, it proved to be perfect, with paved paths to the single-level Lodge, and a short lane to the canal for flat towpath explorations and access to the local canal-side Shop & CaRead morefe or pub. Secluded properties, lovely views, beautiful birdsong, plus hot tubs for those who wish. Hide

The wonderful and well equipped lodge was set in a very peaceful and beautiful location with walks along the canal or up into the mountains from the door. Wildlife in abundance, a place to unwind!

Fantastic stay in a great location. The lodge is very well equipped and comfortable. Lots to do in the surrounding area. Lovely views, lots of bird song (late April/early May).
