1st comment: Great location for wildlife enthusiasts (badger outside our lodge nearly every night) and great location for cyclists. On site pub great food. No on site shop but village shop 2miles away. Beach a few mins walk and very clean. Aug 2011.
2nd comment: Well maintained and clean. Had a small problem one night which required me to contact the owner who sorted it out for us at the earliest opportunity the following day. Excellent location if you have a dog, lots of walks available. Oct 2010.
3rd comment: Good space inside. Oct 2010.
4th comment: The lodge was in a great location. Very good for walks and mountain bikes, a small swimming pool and good sauna. We used the kitchen all week to cook our meals, which we found very nice. A relaxing holiday, and would re-visit the area and this lodge again. Oct 2010.
