"The Lodge is situated in a lovely peaceful part of the world."
. Very comfortable accommodation with everything we could need. The greatest joy, however, was the opportunity to meet the owner, Don, and his beautiful dog, Willow. Don is such a kind friendly host, and Willow's daily visits were something we looked forward to. We will never forget either of them.
Thank you so much for your kind words Don and Willow

"We have just spent a week in this lovely lodge which is well equipped with everything you need."
A beautiful place which is very peaceful, lots of walks around and visits in the garden every morning by the muntjac and other creatures. We also had visits every morning at breakfast, from Willow (Don's dog) who brought us presents - usually one of Don's shoes!! We also saw the tawny owl on an evening on our walks with Willow, who liked to come with us. Don is an incredible man with a fantastic sense of humour. We received a very warm welcome from Don and Willow on the afternoon we arrived which made us feel at home. We enjoyed Don's company and often spent some time with him in an evening. He was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

"We spent 2 weeks at the Lodge and it was the most relaxing time we've had for a long time."
Don the owner went out of his way to help when I'd had to ring to say we were lost, he just told us to put hazard lights on and he would find us. Ten minutes later he arrived like a Knight in shining armour. He is such a gentleman and it shows in the care he gives about his property, a perfect place to stay and you don't feel crowded by the owner as in other places we've been. Clean tidy well equipped all goes without saying just a lovely place to be.

The Lodge was comfortable and spacious and the welcome warm. We enjoyed the outdoor seating and loved the bird and animal life. A great place for easy walking as well. My only suggestion for improvement would be to add to the kitchen utensils . Cooking a meal was a challenge with only one decent sized saucepan and there were no tall glasses to serve long cold drinks. Only quibbles but these additions would turn what is a great place to stay into a next to perfect place.
