"Honestly, we had a fantastic stay overall. The cabin was lovely and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches like the Elemis products - definitely a nice touch that you usually only find in high-end hotels. The location was perfect, peaceful but still close enough to explore. The staff at reception, the site and the bird of prey team were all super friendly and helpful, making us feel really welcomed. The only tiny hiccup was the double bed being a bit close to the wall on one side, which made it tricky for my husband to swing his legs out. Other than that, no complaints at all! We had a great time and will definitely be coming back."

"We booked quite late, so options were limited. The lodge was nice overall, but the main bedroom was tiny and you can only leave the bed from one side, which was a bit awkward. The electric shower lacked pressure and was tricky to get the temperature right. On the plus side, the hot tub was fantastic as usual and the view was lovely. It was an okay stay, really."

"The lodge was a bit smaller than what we're used to, but super cosy and spotless. Everything we needed, from cutlery to glasses, was there. Perfect for a chilled out break!"

"We had a great stay at the cabin and its perfect for dog owners. They really thought of everything - we got treats, poo bags and a ball for the pups, which was lovely. The mudpal washer was a nice touch, even though our dogs stayed pretty clean, so we didnt need to use it. The heating was so warm, we never felt cold at all. The kitchen was fully equipped - honestly, there wasnt a single utensil missing, from fridge to washing machine. Overall, a really comfy place, wed definitely come back!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was super comfy and thoughtfully decorated throughout."

"We were a bit let down by the cleanliness, found some old socks tucked away and a cigarette burn hidden under a cushion. For what we paid, it didnt quite meet expectations, to be honest."
Emma Carter - Mar 2025
"The sofas and beds felt a bit tired and werent the most comfy, but apart from that, everything else was spot on. The kitchen was super well-stocked and the hot tub was lovely and kept spotless each day."
Emma Clarke - Mar 2025
"Very peaceful stay, would definitely come back again."
Emma Carter - Mar 2025
"We stayed in this lodge recently and while its a bit older and the bathrooms could use some updating, it didnt ruin our trip. The hot tub was definitely a highlight and we still had a lovely weekend overall. Nothing major really! Would return."
Emma - Mar 2025
"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was perfect, no issues at all."
Sarah - Mar 2025
"The balcony really could do with a gate or barrier to keep pets safe, which would make it much better. The settees arent the most comfy after a long day-have stayed in places with nicer ones before, so that was a bit disappointing. Still, overall okay."
Emma Carter - Mar 2025
"We had an amazing stay! The lodge was spotless and super cosy, with clever design features like a hidden bathroom that didnt compromise space. The BBQ was a hit, especially with the kids and those marshmallows were a lovely touch. Definitely recommend!"

"Unfortunately, our plans got ruined by storm damage, so we couldnt stay here. They did offer us a different place that fit four, not six. Bit disappointing!"
Emma - Feb 2025
"We found the mattress and sofa quite firm, which made relaxing tricky. The main bathroom was huge but only had a bath with a shower hose, no overhead shower or screen, which was a bit of a letdown. The en suites tiny shower would definitely get crowded. Still, overall, it was a decent stay."
Emma Carter - Feb 2025
"The cabin was really lovely and the hot tub was fantastic! It was spotless and well-maintained, though you could tell its been used quite a bit-understandable since its the pet-friendly option. We had a great time!"
Sam - Feb 2025
"We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, it was quite lovely and roomy. The heating was effective, though adjusting it was a bit tricky since there were no instructions. The spa bath was out of order when we arrived, but it didnt ruin our stay. The real issue was the lack of a plug socket in one bedroom, making it tough for the kids monitor and night light. Overall, though, we thought the place was really nice!"
Rachel - Feb 2025
"Really enjoyed staying here! The lodge was spacious and cosy, surrounded by beautiful forest. Perfect for walks!"
Rachel - Feb 2025
"We stayed at the lodge and honestly, it exceeded our expectations. The bathroom was recently redone to a really high standard, super clean throughout and everything we needed was there. The surprise bottle of fizz and doggy pack were lovely touches!"
Emma - Feb 2025
"From the moment we got there, the warm welcome from the staff made us feel right at home. The location is absolutely gorgeous, with breathtaking dark skies that really take your breath away. The restaurant team was super friendly and the food was honestly top-notch. Our original lodge got damaged in a storm, but they sorted us out with a replacement before we even arrived - very helpful! The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed, though a bit more privacy around the hot tub would have been perfect. We'd definitely come back!"
Emma - Feb 2025
"We really enjoyed our stay! The lodge was cosy and warm, with everything we needed. The bathroom was spotless and the shower was great. Loved the little touches like the prosecco, biscuits and coffee. Parking right outside was a bonus. Overall, lovely stay!"
