The owners are very friendly and super accommodating. We had to check in late and they were super helpful arranging a special check-in after hours. The lodge has everything you need, decent showers, kitchen with appliances and good heating. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a cosy lodge for a trip.

James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great place to stay - friendly helpful staff but lodge not ideal for children as lounge area is closed till 12.30pm each day so when children wake early there is no where for them to play so they run around the corridors. Would be great to have access to the lounge and tv all the time during stay.
