    The accommodation was absolutely brilliant. The bed and pillows....it was like sleeping on a cloud. The rooms were spotlessly clean and everything you could need was provided. The owner of the lodge was wonderful.

    The lodge was clean and had everything we needed and if it wasn’t in the room the staff was happy to provide it. We used the BBQ area near the pool and had a great night.
