Linsey J. May 17, 2024 11:53:40 PM
Summary: Great property in a great location. It couldn’t have worked better for our family group of 10 adults and 6 children ranging from grandparents to three year olds. The weather was good, we walked to the Fox for lunch, the children loved the walk up to the farm to see the cows! Hot tub a huge success for all. We shut the gate and we had a secure and safe playing area for the children. The lodges were clean, very well epuiped - brilliant. We’ ll be back!
Mark L. Aug 16, 2023 09:23:24 PM
Summary: We were a party of 13 including 5 children and so took all three chalets which gave us a safe and relaxed environment within which the younger children could wander. The quality of the chalets (especially the en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom, and the hot tubs) appealed to parents and grandparents alike. Stunning early morning view and sunset. Great location with plenty in the vicinity when the occasional bad weather encouraged us offsite. Friendly and helpful host.

Summary: We loved the countryside, very peaceful, lovely walks . Lodges were well equipped and comfortable. Hot tubs were great. Perfect for our family gathering.

Summary: There were 3 families coming together to celebrate a 40th Birthday and New Year’s Eve. The smartness, and cleanliness and the provisions of pots, pans, crockery and utensils was brilliant. The provisions left were thoughtful and used. The comfort of the beds, was very good. The view utterly amazing. We all enjoyed ourselves and being self enclosed it felt safe for the children to go into another lodge. The children loved the hot tubs. For a place to get away from it all definitely would recommend.
Lilian K. Jun 9, 2021 10:53:35 PM
Summary: We hired all three lodges as a family of 15 and had the most wonderful week blessed by amazing weather. The lodges are absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean and are kitted out with everything you could possibly need. The views are stunning and unspoilt - we were treated to the most spectacular sunsets most nights. The children loved the hot tubs and spent hours in them! I couldn’t recommend the Eco Lodges enough!
