Great location in a van park. Loved the free glow worm walk. The skylights don’t have any covers as yet so the light comes in early in the morning - they have ordered some though!

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Room was spacious and comfortable. Only problem was the high skylight that could not be covered so you got woken up at sunrise by the morning sun streaming in. I'd rather have a lie in on my holiday.

What's not made clear is that the rooms here are next to a campervan park which is part of their complex. Therefore you hear van doors shutting all the time which is disruptive. Noise travels between the walls a bit too. Other than that the room is spacious, clean and comfy with everything you need in terms of amenities. In short, great room, bad setting.

Clean lodge, easy parking, basic kitchen but shared kitchen available next to lodge. We chose to make breakfast and packed lunches and the ate out in the evening. Intermittent WiFi but acceptable. Nice and warm and convenient location for a couple of nights. Quiet location close to the main Street, Cook and Saddle and Betty Jackson’s excellent for evening meal with teens. Added bonus was the glow worm tour from the lodge, very enjoyable.
