The Lodge was amazing, superb views so quiet, everything you need. Zoe tested hot tub daily, and was very good sorting any problems, even recommending places to eat which were also superb. Would definately go back just for the complete peace and quiet away from everything.

Had a wonderful week at Sycamore Lodge, Zoe was a great help with her knowledge of the locality and friendly support. Everywhere is at least a 20 minute car trip and 40 minutes to the coast but stunning situation for a quiet relaxing break .

I think we got the best challet on the site. The view from the veranda was wonderful, over fields and trees, and our dog had a commanding view of all passers-by and their dogs. Inside was tidy and clean, the beds comfortable with obscured windows for light and air. As there were only two of us, we had a bathroom each, mine had a bath, which I was vRead moreery pleased with. The kitchen was well-stocked and had a huge fridge freezer. Lots of room to relax in. Hide
