Do you have WiFi in the rooms. Do we have Mountain View’s ? Thanks
Yes, the whole lodge (every room) has unlimited free high speed wifi. And yes, the lounge, the kitchen and 2 of the bedrooms have Mountain Views, the rest of the rooms have ocean views.Answered on 24 February 2024Sorry bit confused - are owners on site in part of this property or in a property nearby??
The owners live in a separate house next door to the propertyAnswered on 13 January 2023We have a small adult well behaved Bichon Frise dog. Are we able to bring him
Hi there. I'm very but some unknown reason this message has only just appeared in our mailbox. I'm afraid we are unable to accept pets in the Lodge. Sorry we cannot be more helpful.Answered on 31 December 2020Do you have sky tv for rugby
We don't have Sky but our TVs are internet-connected, which means that Sky customers using the Sky Go app can watch any Sky broadcast in their room during their stay with us.Answered on 19 October 2020Hello, I am wondering if you can offer a discount if we only use 2 of the bedrooms? Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Julie
We only charge for the number of guests you book for. There is a base rate for 2 people sharing a room, then a "per guest" rate above that base for additional guests. You will still have exclusive use of the lodge, but other bedrooms will be locked.Answered on 28 November 2023
