Colourful and cosy. the Lodge is small but fabulous. A handmade double bed floats on a mezannine above the Cosy Sitting Room, with Log burning stove. The bathroom is romantic with a double ended claw foot tub in which to soak away tired muscles after walking around the beautiful valleys. The cottage has a character that is enhanced by the many special features, handpainted mural and unique style.

Really impressed with our stay, nothing better than sitting in front of the fire playing games. Highly recommend.
The sheep in the field were a real treat to view also.
quirky and lovely situation but small. Needed a bit of a scrub up in certain places. And curtains. Generous food and loads of logs.
