The lodge was beautiful and clean with all the facilities we wanted. The hot tub was a lovely addition and fishing spot very close by meant one person could fish without feeling like they were leaving the other on their own for a long time. The location was close to everything needed and very peaceful spot. We will definitely be returning!

Great lodge very well equipped hot tub was amazing plenty of dvds, books and games if the weather is bad. I tried fishing but the big fish weren't playing caught a few smaller ones with the help of the owner Chris. East Harling village has everything you need from a coop to a couple of pubs we had an evening meal in the nags head very nice menu. LoRead morevely walks along the river thet. Some dog noise but that didn't bother us and you don't hear them of a night. Would definitely book a return trip Hide
