    Beautiful lodge excellently decorated to a very hi standard, the town was a bit of a walk away and not doable in the dark because of the dark lanes, but we had a car and mainly used the lodge as a base to explore, it was surrounded by countryside which was lovely, very quiet which was also amazing, I would definitely recommend this place, and would certainly stay here again if I was coming back to this area, a credit to the owners
