The Lodge has 4 cabins, AND 6 upstairs, guest rooms

 

The Cabins all have an ensuite with shower, toilet and vanity unit and a balcony offering glorious views. However there are NO cooking facilities in our rooms, because of the limited electricity and water facilities. We supply most weekend meals, however, self catering is available with the OK of our chef. Please see catering arrangements below.

Please discuss during the booking process.
