We loved the ambience of this brick and tile lodge. Close to all restaurants and with a lovely garden. Rooms were perfect with extremely comfy beds. This lodge only caters for a limited number so it is cosy and intimate. The whole building was beautifully warm on a cold pre winter's night. Staff were thoughtful and accommodating.
