If you love picturesque villages they are on your doorstep or you can just sit in the hot tub surrounded by trees and watch the squirrels and a vast array of birds and chill out. Don't forget to take some peanuts and they will come very close to you. They also have a badger set which you can view on TV or take a walk to see but we were not lucky enough to see them while we were there maybe because we retired early and badgers are night animals." |

We had items we wouldn't have even thought about needing. They thought of everything even down to having the TV and DVD on wheels so we could enjoy movie's from anywhere in the lodge including whilst sitting in the amazing jacuzzi bath. We have passed the details on to many friends and we will be back ourselves!" |
| Miss J, 27 November 2006 |
| |
