Wow. Fantastic and very relaxing.

10.0

WOW. Cabot lodge was superb in every way. Bridie and Brad were perfect hosts, Rob the Chef cooked amazing 5 star food, all the remaining staff top line. The views at the property were amazing. Our room was excellent, large and the open fire a real treat. We will definitely be back for longer next time, 2 days of being spoilt was not long enough. Thanks Bridie and Brad. Regards Bob and Angela

There was nothing we didn't like.

Cabot Lodge was extraordinary - Birdie and Brad are born hosts and make their guests feel immediately at home. The quality, luxury and attention to detail in the accommodation and meals are exceptional. This place is not to be missed if you are lucky enough to be going when they have availability. Make sure you take full advantage of your time there, using the facilities, enjoying the stunning views and walking the property. A exceptional retreat!

Nothing - it truly is excellent!
