Host was very welcoming even made sure we had arrived safely, the lodge was very comfortable and well equipped and perfectly positioned for what we wanted and where we wanted to be, even though next to a busy pub we wasn't disturbed and if we didnt want to drive plenty of buses or walking distance to lots of different beautiful sites, definitely would stay there again

The property was in a perfect location, close to all amenities and shops! The house was decorated in theme with Christmas and the host went above and beyond to make our stay over Christmas homely and festive. The property is well equipped with basic essentials such as tea, coffee and hairdryer. The kitchen facilities were very good and the coffee machine was a lovely touch. The log burner added extra cozy winter vibes and we really appreciated the Wood and Coal provided. The host was very attentive and easy to contact at all times whilst being very polite and helpful. I would 1000% stay here again and would recommend anyone considering staying here to do so!
