My friends and I have returned after a great few days.
My friends and I have returned after a great few days. The lodge is very clean and cosy, perfect with the log burner going. Great value for money and the walk around pucks glen is a must if you are able!

Comfortable and cosy retreat after a days exploring in this beautiful area.
Comfortable and cosy retreat after a days exploring in this beautiful area. Red squirrels visited daily right outside the window, lovely forest walks right from the door. Velux roof windows gave views of the starry night sky to lull you to sleep. Would definitely return.
