Date of stay: 25th May 2025

Lodge was beautiful, had all the home comforts in the kitchen. The lodge is lovely and modern, the setting was fabulous and the lodge was lovely and quiet. We used the jacuzzi every day and it was just so relaxing to sit in and look at the scenery and it was lovely and warm. Would recommend taking footwear when going into the jacuzzi just so you don't slip on the decking..
