Absolutely amazing cottage we were a party of 7 adults 3 children age 11-13 & 3 dogs there was plenty of room. On arrival the lodge was so warm and welcoming and had everything we needed. As it was February we didn't use the garden as too cold but it would be lovely in warmer weather. Would definitely recommend.

We were a group of 10 ( 5 adults / 5 children) and one dog! The property was extremely spacious and we found it to be equipped to a high standard. There were ample logs provided for the log burner which was lovely and the kids appreciated the biscuits on arrival (and the dog the dog biscuits!).

Whilst it did not effect anything, it might have in the summer if the site was busy. Ensuring this information is clearly advertised on booking would allow an informed decision Hide
