Everything was fabulous at Bam Lodge. All the little things thought about, dog waste bags in the courtyard, dog bowls, welcome note and gift (lovely touch), everything you may need in the kitchen. The best equipped cottage we have stayed in.

Bam lodge is in a lovely location with plenty of walks in the area, long or short for your dog. The lodge itself was spotless and spacious with all the equipment that you would need and the bottle of wine and sweets left was a nice gesture. Would definitely book again.

The cottage is nice and modern with good comfy furniture and nice enclosed garden for dogs but the road or very narrow lane with dry stone walling each side going to the property is a nightmare! If you drive a large car or 4 x 4 You will not enjoy this road. We would not book this property again because of the road and the cottage seems very cold eRead moreven in Summer because it doesnt seem to get much light or sun in there. Bring your own dish cloth! They dont provide one or any tea or coffee pods. The Hot tub is nice but we actually found it too hot. Trying to get the heating to work in the cottage is hit and miss. The weather for our week was really bad, rained almost every day and we needed some warmth in the cottage to dry our clothes and warm up. The welcome pack could be a lot better. Hide

One of the best dog friendly lodges we have stayed in. Every finite detail has been thought of. Our only comments which would be more of an improvement rather than things that were missing was: 1 - The outside tap which has a hosepipe attached would be great if this was a hot / cold dog washing station. 2 - not sure if these were missing or were Read moreavailable pre-covid but bath robes would be a great addition with the hot tub. 3 - 2 towels per person seemed a bit light gives the use of the hot tub and a 7 day stay. As stated although these would be great improvements for the stay they certainly would not stop us booking Bam Lodge again. The original cottages team were great at responding to any concerns or queries and the owners have done an exceptional job with this property. Hide

Had a lovely break at Bam Lodge. Was a bit cold on arrival heating could have done with being switched on a few hours before arrival. Heating is quite noisy when trying to sleep in the master room. Master bed was a bit hard (personal preference) Over all a fantastic place to stay due to being fully dog friendly. The place was impeccably clean on arRead morerival. Did have a few little issues finding the place, even when parked by the bin shed we asked a lady who was there did she know of Bam Lodge and she hadnt heard of it. We were really glad you gave us the cleaners number and she explained exactly where it was. Hide
