    The host was friendly, and I felt safe and secure as a solo traveler. It would have been helpful to know the accessible hours for the lodge at check-in, but when I returned from visiting family at 10pm the main doors were open anyway.

    Very clean, everything was there you'd need. Bed was lovely and warm plenty of covers and pillows. Location was great quiet at night and just round the corner was a selection of places to eat, like the powderkeg, which was excellent too. Staff...
