Emma Clarke
We honestly loved this lodge! It's the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. The place is immaculate, with every tiny detail thought through. The hosts are super helpful and friendly, which made us feel really welcome. The location is stunning, with beautiful walks right from the doorstep-secluded but not too far from shops and pubs. The hot tub and wood burner just added that extra bit of cosy comfort. We'd definitely recommend it-definitely a 10/10 experience!
