A great location and spacious house - ideal for 4 adults and a one-year old. The garden looked lovely, but it was October-November so we didn't use it. Great to have private parking by the house.Very warm; a good-sized, well-stocked kitchen!

8/10 Very Good! (1 review)
The lodge was spacious & well equipped. Think for us it’s a late check in > 4pm ( our lodge wasn’t ready by that time either) and an early check out @ 10 am. So realistically it’s only a 3 day stay. But a clean site.
