- ChristineUnited Kingdom“Lorraine went out of her way to be helpful and was very friendly. The Lodge is well situated and made a good base for visiting the islands.”
- JamesUnited Kingdom“Large and clean room, large and comfortable bed, a small decanter of sherry as an unexpected but lovely touch left in the room each day - and a very welcoming hostess in Lorraine”
- JUnited Kingdom“A spacious room, with a very comfortable large bed, we slept well. Welcoming to return in the evenings to see that someone had attended to our room during the day and replenished supplies of beverages and biscuits.”
