Lovely place to stay, close to lots of places to visit.
Lovely place to stay, close to lots of places to visit. Spotlessly clean lodge. The location was so peaceful and our granddaughter absolutely loved feeding the chickens. Well equipped, although an airer would be an excellent addition to help to dry the extra wet towels you have after using the hot tub. The hosts were very helpful and quickly sorted out a problem with the wi fi. We had a fabulous week and were so relaxed and rested after. We would 100% go back again.
We stayed for 4 nights in February and we loved it. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and warm. The area is very quiet and the nights really dark. The view from the cottage was lovely, and we enjoyed watching the alpacas grazing in the field. The hot tub was very welcome. We’re already thinking about another visit when the weather is a bit better.

Cottage was lovelyGreat viewsSome issues with Hot Tub not ready when we checked in at 1830Never came round to check the Hot Tub at all as advertisedAsked the owners to come and fill up and check waterStill waiting
It was clean and lovely, the owners left us a small welcoming package for when we arrived. Whilst we were there we experienced a storm that played with the electrics, and the owners could not have been more helpful and were in contact to check in throughout. Would happily return.
