It is beautifully situated, and well equipped. It is in one of the premier positions. Everything worked, although we failed to get the best from the smart tv. Probably our fault! The welcome pack was welcome and useful. We would definitely recommend this lodge to anyone.

The property and site was very clean and in a beautiful location. The small swimming pool was a bonus and you can book for 40 mins everyday for your own family use, the hot tub was treated every day and the onsite manager was great.

It is a beautiful property in a lovely setting. The weather was mixed but we still managed to use the hot tub a few times. The lodge is very spacious and the underfloor heating was great. The only thing I would suggest to enhance our stay would be some sun loungers , the outdoor seating is fine for sitting at the table but not comfortable for anything else. If weâre in the area again we would definitely book Swandown again.
