  • "Owner hosts - Philippa & Glyn are the nicest people."

    No request from guests is too much trouble. Their Lodges are of the highest standard 5* plus. High quality furnishings throughout. Stylish Kitchen providing every possible pot, pan, utensil, crockery, glassware & silverware required, all high quality. Fridge & separate Freezer. Quality outside furniture, Gas Barbecue & superb Hot Tub for which thick, soft robes are provided with separate towels. Attention to detail both inside & outside the lodge, spotlessly clean, we were very comfortable on a highly maintained peaceful site, perfect to relax and unwind. Very much looking forward to returning.

    So pleased to see Phillipa's friendly face welcoming us on the dark wet wintery night when we arrived, as I was trying to find the key code. She couldn't do any more to make our stay comfortable. The accomadation is so clean and modern, Bed and bedding were very high quality and comfy. Loved the woodburner and hot tub. Wonderful local pub a walk away, dog friendly too. No complaints at all and we will be back for sure.

    Furnished to high spec. Bedding and towels top quality and bathroom warm and cosy with fabulous shower. Lovely welcome from owners who even provided treats for our dog. The area was very rural with views to the sea and amazing sunsets. Great dog walking and close to the pub what more could we want? Thank you- highly recommended.

  • "We had a lovely week with our family in this beautiful lodge."

    The accommodation is beautiful, and spotlessly clean, it feels nice and luxurious. We enjoyed BBQ’s outside and took in the view of the sunset and sea. Phillipa and Glynn really care about their guests often offering us recommendations for trips out, we had some great days out enjoying the beautiful beaches and local museum. Our children had so much fun. We were blessed with some good weather but it would be equally cosy in the winter with the log burner, on-site cafe and lovely pub 5 minutes away.

    Thank you, we are delighted you enjoyed your visit and hope to see you again. Property Owner
