"Location just off the beaten track, close enough to enjoy the new Forrest without long drives, far enough out to not have too many people around. Lodge is big, comfortable, spacious, really well furnished and clean. Hot tub was perfect. Highly recommend the arrival breakfast package, and the lovely touch of freshly cooked bread and cake was a great welcome gift! Highly recommend and will be going back to stay again. "

5/5 Excellent
A hidden gem
"Last minute weekend booking for 2 adults and 3 children (6,6,8). Arrived late to a prepared room, warm welcome and much needed cocktail. Room had a queen size bed in a separate area with sofa bed and single bed in the main area. Each area had a large TV, would of loved for these to be smart tv’s but didn’t affect us too much. Was a warm weekend but a fan was provided. Spacious, clean room. Amenities were great and included iron, wash basket etc + the usual tea, coffee and hot choc ( great selection). Breakfast was amazing and the coffee selection was brill. Bonus of 2 terraces which were beautiful and had a scenic view. Would of loved to of eaten there but unfortunately our schedule was packed! Can’t wait to return to spend some more time at the hotel. Given a travel lodge wasn’t too much cheaper I am blown away at how reasonably priced this was given the huge range of facilities, high quality spacious rooms and scenic location. This hotel also has a hair salon which would be great for those staying for an event (again reasonably priced). This hotel is a must for families who want a little bit of luxury in a child friendly place "
