We had an amazing 1 night stay in one of the lodges, an upgrade from the lovely team. Super friendly, efficient and competent staff. Very comfortable lodge with everything you need. One thing i would add is complimentary bottles of water but apart from that it was fabulous. Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

We had such a lovely stay. The room was beautiful, probably the best I've ever stayed in, and so cosy with the fireplace. Everything was so clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The views from the lodge are stunning, and we made sure to take a dip in the hot tub. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants a luxury stay.
