Wonderful lodge. A big spacious kitchen area and the furniture is colourful bright and comfortable. Bedrooms a tad bit squashy but manageable. Bathrooms clean and everywhere tidy. Lots of things to use in the kitchen. View of pond and location great. Trains run by the lodge every hour or so. Wonderful to watch. Nice private sitting area outside too. Splendid.
