“Room. Decorated to match the age of the property. Plenty of information in the room about the area. Staff all very friendly. Breakfast. Very good choice, well presented and cooked breakfast superb.”

“We stayed in the Otter room which is part of the lodge. The room was set up lovely, clean and with it being an old lodge it even came with 2 heaters to keep the room really toasty! The staff were amazing and really catered for us at breakfast as me and my partner are both vegan. Allowing us to mix some items from the vegan breakfast and the vegetarian breakfast which we both wanted. Although some people spooked the badgers whilst we tried to watch them in torrential rain and then tried to follow the poor thing into the woods we did go back into the lodge and watch the live webcam feed until it returned saving a lot of waiting and wet clothing! ”
