Quiet, cozy, so many areas to write and chat and read. A fantastically equipped kitchen, plenty of bathrooms for people to be comfortable. Some people said their beds were comfortable. Others could use new mattresses. But other than that, plenty of towels, scenery for days, areas to sit outside, and the host was easy to reach when needed. Would 10/10 stay again. We were all incredibly sad to leave and will have fond memories forever.

The bedrooms were spacious - some also had beautiful views - and there were plenty of clean, well-functioning bathrooms. The kitchen was also well equipped. We made use of the many seating areas, including the outside terrace with beautiful sunset views. The area surrounding the Lodge provided a few options for walks, including many kinds of wildlife to keep us interested, and the kids enjoyed Hide and Seek in the expansive garden. Would highly recommend!

The house was just perfect and the weather was great so we could enjoy sitting out at the fire pit in the evenings.
