Lovely little get away

Me and my partner stayed here and we loved it! We was greeted by Emma on arrival who was very nice and helpful. She gave us a walk round and explained anything we needed to know. WiFi offered to us. The lodge was absolutely lovely, the photos advertised really do not do it justice. Clean and homely. I seen a few reviews mention lack of privacy because the jacuzzi room is close to the house but we really didn't feel this was an issue at all. It was made very private with blinds all round, 90 minutes a day allowed in the jacuzzi which we thought was more than enough. We was left a welcome pack full of sweet treats which was really nice. We really enjoyed our stay, thankyou.
