    Would have been better if there was a filter coffee machine provided rather than a kettle and a caffettiere. A very minor point but worth considering given the standard of accommodation was very high and the rest of the equipment provided was excellent and the relative cost of a filter coffee machine.

    The standard of accomodati was very high

    My only tiny comment to make is the lodge is for 8 people however when dining only 6 champagne flutes and 6 wine glasses so 2 of the party were odd when drinking champagne and wine

    As soon as walked through the front door, it had the wow factor.

    Having to strip laundry and move towels. Unable to book a longer stay ie Monday to Friday or Friday to Monday. Slightly overpriced for a 3 night stay.

    the communication between staff could have been better, the result of this was half our party ended up in the wrong lodge. Quite embarrassing when you have to go back and get all your stuff and the other party had moved in.

    beautiful outside and inside , it felt like luxury

    The only thing I would request would be for the upstairs windows to have blinds on the top sections as light came through.

    We have just returned from a 2/3 night stay at the maple lodge celebrating our friends birthday! the lodge and grounds are fantastic with 4 beautiful double rooms, one with a free standing bath in the en suite! the downstairs is perfect layout for entertaining and the grounds are great for dogs. the hot tub was also superb and was cleaned in the morning ready for the day ahead! also close to amenities as I popped out to the shop for some supplies, there is also several take aways that deliver to you. the owners were super helpful and answered any questions we had, even dropped off some more toilet roll for us! 😊

    The check-in is quite late and check-out is quite early. With the price of each villa per night it would have been nicer to be able to have more time at the lodges considering our journey was 6hrs each way. Early check-in/out is an additional £20 p/h but you are not able to check-in before 3pm.

    The lodges were absolutely beautiful, all the rooms were spacious, the location was beautiful. I was worried that we'd be stuck for necessities but we were provided with local taxis and grocery shops.

    There is nothing to not like about this place.

    Incredible stay. The setting of the lodges are truly stunning and the lodge itself matches it's beautiful surroundings. Everything was immaculate and well thought out. The views from the on suite bathroom provide the perfect place for a bath, whilst the outdoor hot tub is an added luxury. I can't wait to return!

    Upon check in we were checked in by the host who I believe could have shown us around by taking her time more. She was literally in there with us for less than a minute which resulted in us having to call numerous times with questions which we had in regards to the lodge. The hot tub jets weren’t functioning properly which was extremely annoying. Also the cleanliness of the lodge wasn’t that great alongside that some Of the dishes in the kitchen were dirty too. The lodge was also missing a hair dryer which I found surprising. Candles were provided too but there was no lighter or match sticks to light them with.

    The overall design of the lodge was really beautiful. For example the entire lodge had stunning lighting & it was also really spacious too.
