Spent a week in this beautiful lodge. The living area is a good size with 2 toilets and a shower room around the back. The bedroom is in a nice size Shepard Hut and was very cozy. Nice views of fields and its down a lane away from any through roads. Lovey warm hot tub and a massive cooker and kitchen table.
