Its a lovely place in a good location. It would have been nice to have had working radiators in the bathrooms (they were stone cold along with the bathrooms) a tumble dryer that worked and a hot rather than lukewarm hot tub on the first evening. We complained about these on the Monday morning at 9am but nothing was done during our stay. These diRead mored spoil our enjoyment to an extent which is a shame as its potentially a great place in an amazingly beautiful area. Hide

Everything was fabulous at Bam Lodge. All the little things thought about, dog waste bags in the courtyard, dog bowls, welcome note and gift (lovely touch), everything you may need in the kitchen. The best equipped cottage we have stayed in.

Bam lodge is in a lovely location with plenty of walks in the area, long or short for your dog. The lodge itself was spotless and spacious with all the equipment that you would need and the bottle of wine and sweets left was a nice gesture. Would definitely book again.

The cottage is nice and modern with good comfy furniture and nice enclosed garden for dogs but the road or very narrow lane with dry stone walling each side going to the property is a nightmare! If you drive a large car or 4 x 4 You will not enjoy this road. We would not book this property again because of the road and the cottage seems very cold eRead moreven in Summer because it doesnt seem to get much light or sun in there. Bring your own dish cloth! They dont provide one or any tea or coffee pods. The Hot tub is nice but we actually found it too hot. Trying to get the heating to work in the cottage is hit and miss. The weather for our week was really bad, rained almost every day and we needed some warmth in the cottage to dry our clothes and warm up. The welcome pack could be a lot better. Hide
