My stay was lovely. The view, the room, facilities and staff were all fantastic! I would highly recommend this Lodge and would love to stay here again.

The guests in the adjoining room were very loud and fighting during my stay. The staff also pass around the room, which can be quite disruptive. If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet room, room 9 is not the room for you, but room 2 is. Enjoy!

its was a small place with a handful of lodges, decent size room and very comfortable. staff were attentive and helpful. very private. breakfast was off a menu rather than buffet but cooked very well and they adjusted meals for your need and you could order multiple dishes

the location was not the best as it was through a run down area. the room was not well insulated so it did feel cold at night. for the price i expected more but for privacy it is worth considering
