"We stayed in a lovely lodge, it was cosy, clean and quiet. My parents stayed in a slightly larger one which had a separate sitting area. Both were very comfortable and I’d definitely stay again. Great parking just outside the lodge. A beautiful swimming pool and a fab bar. Evening food was delicious and service was great. Breakfast was lovely too. Would definitely recommend and definitely stay again!"
