The hot tub was lovely to relax in after a long day exploring.
Julian
Hot tub was lush and used daily. As stated in listing, it is very remote which we loved, but may not suit everyone.
Andrew
All top quality appliances and equipment - including outside furniture and BBQ. Hot tub was perfect, clean and fully functioning. The lodge itself is in a quiet and tranquil setting. Nearby towns, and beaches are just a short drive away. Nothing negative to say at all.
