We had a lovely welcome pack from Jacqui and Darren on arrival and a stag was in the garden too! The Lodge was spotlessly clean and had everything we could wish for.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the week in your lovely thatched cottage. It has all mod cons, and the open plan living space really suited us.
