We have been here in May 2025 and we going back in October 2025. We loved this place and want to see this environment in autumn colours. The squirrels, fireplace and wood! We recommend it!

Beautiful lodge! Every detail was thought of, plenty of wood provided for the log burner and even some biscuits and treats for our dog as a welcome gift! There is an abundance of wildlife, I could sit there all day and watch the birds and squirrels... really comfortable lodge, especially in the winter! Thank you for a lovely visit x

Fantastic place to stay. Luxurious cabin . Little comfort things like a firestick for the TV and a great shower with comfy beds... I'll hopefully be back
