    “Small but perfectly formed in tranquil surroundings full of nature.”

    Location is perfect for that escape from the busy life. As a nature lover watching the bats over the lake in the evening was perfect. The Kingfisher was very active as were the Herons. In addition lots of bird activity to be seen and heard, the added bonus of listening to the Tawny Owl was amazing. Weather was good so made the best of the outdoor space which was perfect. Only used the hot tub 1st night as was too busy fishing but again was lovely thanks to Brendan for setting this up for us and ...

    Location is perfect for that escape from the busy life. As a nature lover watching the bats over the lake in the evening was perfect. The Kingfisher was very active as were the Herons. In addition lots of bird activity to be seen and heard, the added bonus of listening to the Tawny Owl was amazing. Weather was good so made the best of the outdoor space which was perfect. Only used the hot tub 1st night as was too busy fishing but again was lovely thanks to Brendan for setting this up for us and lovely to be greeted on arrival and shown to the accomodation, the personal touch is limited these days. Fishing... Well fish will be fish no guarantees and a little shy on the bigger stuff but as I say a prize every time on the small stuff. If I am being honest as beautiful and well equipped this is probably not for us due to size but that is personal preference nothing to reflect on the accomodation itself or the host.

    Thank you for your detailed feedback. I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful surroundings, abundant wildlife, and the opportunity to relax and unwind in nature. It’s wonderful to know you spotted the kingfisher, herons, bats, and even heard the tawny owl during your stay. I'm also pleased you were able to make the most of the outdoor space, fishing, and hot tub, and I appreciate your kind words about the welcome and personal touch on arrival. Thank you for your honest comments regarding the size of the accommodation. While the lodge is designed to offer a cosy retreat, I completely understand that personal preferences vary. I'm grateful for your feedback and pleased to hear you found both the accommodation and facilities well equipped and enjoyable. Property Owner
