We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at South Lodge. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by the owners. Lovely welcome gifts on arrival and treats for the dogs. Beautiful lodge, very clean and comfortable with gorgeous grounds to walk around. . Lots of places to visit, by car. We will definitely be returning.

The cottage is magical and a home away from home. Its setting is idyllic and calming. Good to get away from it all.

A beautiful cottage renovated to the highest standard. Kitchen was fully equipped for our stay. Breath taking views all around, fabulous garden with various seating areas, my favourite one the bench over looking the little stream in the garden. Would definitely book again.

We booked this at short notice for a few days away and we were NOT disappointed. The cottage is in a fantastic location, really quiet and peaceful. It is deceptively large with more than enough space. The cottage is superbly equipped and has everything you need. Loved the minimal phone signal, the kids didn't though! The scones were a very pleasantRead more surprise upon arrival and went down well. Our dog also loved the dog treats that were there. Highly recommend to anyone looking for some time away. Hide
