  • "Very nice lodge clean, spacious, well equipped for self catering, comfortable ,nice outlook on the lake."

    Regarding the disability element accessiblty is good but wet room requires hand rail on shower and toilet . Sofa's in lounge extremely low .for any body with mobility issues..

  • "Gorgeously decorated, spacious lodge that met all of our party needs and more!"

    Plenty of room for our party of 5 and 2 dogs. Highlight was the beautiful decking and outdoor areas, where we enjoyed watching the swans swim by and having drinks around the fire pit table in the evening. Only thing to mention is the jetty - some work to this would allow it to be used. There is a lot of plants preventing it from being used to its full capacity.

  • "We stay in a lot of lodges around the country and this one tops the list so far."

    The lodge we stayed in was really great for our vacation, the description and photos don't do it enough justice, big enough to accommodate our family of 5 and the dog. The views from the decking to the lake were breathtaking, the immense size catered for all our family needs, ( disabled, child, dog, all ages ) Anyone looking for a modern spacious lodge as a base to explore the surrounding areas wouldn't go wrong with this place. Would recommend a visit.

    Thank you very much for you review its much appreciated. Kind Regards Chris Property Owner

  • "This lodge is outstanding & everything we hoped for in a lovely location, well equipped in fact the best ive been to."

    Only a couple of small things there was no mirror in the bedroom next to the wet room or bathroom for my dad to shave etc. & no chair, as my dad struggles to stand for long but this was a minor problem & we had a great holiday & hope to come back. Only other thing was no sthop on the site but that nothing to do with the property. All in all 10 out 10 thank you.

    Good morning Thank you for ypur great feedback . I will take note of you advisories and look to add these to the lodge. Thank you Chris Property Owner

  • "Was really looking forward to this break , the lodge itself is very nice ."

    But I have to say I was extremely disappointed that I could not get on the lake with my paddle board due to over grown weeds from the jetty, as the picture on the website clearly shows you can do this as other guests were from there lodges and this spoilt it for us . Little things like the mirror in the bedroom couldn’t use the lights around it as they didn’t work . Over all it is a beautiful lodge .

    Good Evening Im sorry you had a negative experience with regards to the lake access . The water is maintained by the site itself and alot of the water area infront is a nesting area for water hens etc . So the site can only cut back the water weed once / twice a year due to the nests. With regards to the mirror its most likely the batteries have gone and the cleaners may have missed this. once again my apologies if these things ruined your visit to my lodge . Kind Regards Chris Property Owner
