10/10 Excellent
"Everything was absolutely perfect. The host was very friendly and welcoming and ploughed the snow on the track to the lodge every day. The lodge exceeded our expectations in every way; size, amenities, presentation, quality. It was incredibly accessible for my dad, who is in a wheel chair. It was a really magical place to stay - especially when the snow fell! Really, really loved the place! "
