Location and view

Bit outdated but most of all very cold! Electric blankets as there is no heater. So cold in morning and evening. A fireplace but thats it. Breakfast room as well outdated and breakfast could be better.

Amazing, highly recommend!

Amazing location! The perfect break away from the city. Marge and her husband were extremely welcoming and made us feel very comfortable from the moment we arrived. We loved everything, and will definitely be coming back!

A few minor adjustments need to be made, such as an upgrade to the kitchen. Other than that, it’s very hard to fault this place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely stunning!!! The view and calming feeling. The fact that you do not get bored by doing nothing. Resting, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Waking up with the most amazing view and sounds of animal sounds were just incredible. The food was exceptional and the staff went out of their way to make our stay wonderful. The kindness we received will never be forgotten. Definitely worth it and will definitely recommend for anyone. It was really an absolute favorite!! Thank you for such a memorable break to reset. Can't wait to return!!!

There was absolutely nothing that we did not enjoy.

Lovely place, lovely people, lovely memories

The location is absolutely beautiful, and the staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and warm. I truly enjoyed my stay there. The lodge was also very convenient, with a small kitchen and everything needed for a comfortable stay.

The breakfast was good, although the choice was quite limited. On the Sunday, porridge was unfortunately not available due to a shortage of staff. The lodge was also very cold at the end of April. There was a fireplace, but it did not warm the space sufficiently, and although the electric blankets were helpful, a heater would have been very welcome. We were not even staying in the middle of winter, so I imagine it can become particularly cold during the colder months.
