Hot tub was great! Log burner a nice bonus too. Highly recommended. ##### Graeme Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gail R. 9 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Truly fabulous I loved my short stay at this lodge. It has everything you need and the hut tub was great for relaxing in a night. The little touches like a bottle of wine, eggs and milk were very much appreciated, although I had brought my own so didn’t use them. There’s great walks right from the doorstep and it was delightful to hear the steam strain pass by. Will definitely stay here again! I didn’t need to contact the property manager, that’s the reason for the average score. ##### Gail R.
