Nice location. The only problem we had was the uncomfortable beds. The two single beds were far to soft, the double bed had extra quilts on the bed making it uncomfortable. The showers need slip mats as the floor is very slippery in both showers. The lodge was beautiful apart from the above issues.

Would prefer to be able to use central heating when we wanted on/off rather than the times been preset and a couple of times the tv lost signal, but other than that really enjoyed our stay in the Bramblewick,
