We had an amazing night and it was more than we could have asked for🙂

Both Emanuela and Karen were amazing hosts. They were super friendly and made us feel at home. They provided great hospitality,serving beautiful home made food, I would recommend their cheese board!

The environment is so peaceful with an amazing view, including a sky full of stars at night. The lodge is super cosy inside and beautifully decorated.

Thank you so much we will definitely be booking with you again🙂 xx
A perfect peaceful hide away. Such a lovely location and hosts were super friendly and helpful.
Friendly, welcoming hosts. Beautiful surroundings. The private garden area was wonderful to enjoy a peaceful evening in front of the chiminea. An enjoyable stay. Homemade pizzas available to order made by the hosts were a delicious added bonus Thankyou
