    An exceptional lodge that positively delivered way more than the photos and descriptions indicated. Spacious living areas and bedrooms, well equipped, lots of homely personal touches and a most delightful place generally to gather with friends or family. Despite the chilly weather we were very warm and cosy. The fireplace is a feature and something else!
