We had a lovely 3 night stay. The place was deserted when we arrived, however check-in was an easy call to the host. The hot tub and sauna were lovely and the natural pool was worth braving! The place was quiet and great for a relaxing few days. Very dog friendly.

The Firefly Spa Lodge was wonderful. We had a great break and it was great to unwind. The facilities are kept very clean and tidy, well equipped and because of that, we had a very comfortable stay. Unfortunately, we didn't realise that things included in our stay were chargeable once there, for example: gas for the fire pit, logs for the hot tub Read moreafter it's first use. (These facilities were included in our booking.) This was not a cheap break, so I genuinely feel this should be included, even if it bumps up the price a little more. Another thing that disappointed us was unavailability of the Forage and Fire restaurant and the treatments for the spa. This resulted in us booking massage treatments with a local therapist off site. When we stayed, it wasn't particularly busy, so perhaps we booked dates that nothing was available on? The food in the Bistro was fairly pricey, but it was delicious, fresh and the service was fantastic. The horses and goats approach the lodges and they are very well behaved. It really is a peaceful setting and we felt totally safe there too. I would highly recommend paying the local pubs and restaurants a visit. I would also suggest doing some of the walking trails, we thoroughly enjoyed them. Hide
