Lovely clean lodge in a peaceful location. Very good for getting away and switching off. Everything was spotless and well maintained. View from lodge was lovely. Would recommend if you are looking for somewhere to relax. ##### Lynne Gillies Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 13 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The Nuthatch is an excellent bolthole for a relaxing stay. It is well equipped and comfortable. There is access to a private swimming pool which was a treat! For me the large lounge window and covered outside area were huge pluses- being able to watch wildlife, be sat outside with a book and a hot drink was magical! ##### Laura Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ---
