Very cosy place, felt like home instantly

Emma, Ripley
Date of stay: 11th April 2025

We had a lovely stay overall. The lodge was fantastic, though a few things like the fixtures and equipment could do with a bit of a tidy-up - no toaster and the grill wouldnt light. Security was top-notch, making us feel really safe. We adored the peacocks wandering around and the animals at the hall were a lovely touch. The hot tub was a real highlight and Tony, the host, was so helpful and attentive. Adam at the pub was also great!
