    "The property was lovely, cosy, and warm."

    Could have done with a couple more towels as you have to shower before and after using the hot tub, so the towel is wet for the second shower. Bed is comfy. Nice walks from the Lodge. In the description, it doesn't tell you it's adults only until you go right down to the bottom so be mindful of this.
