Two weeks at Lordies Lodge with superb April weather, it was hard to lock up and fly home. Six of us, 4 adults and two teens, felt very much at home very quickly. Two of us travelled from Qatar as part of a wedding party coming from the UK, Dubai and Qatar. We decided to invite family to join us from Manchester as it was a easy meeting point. We spent days exploring Paphos, the Troodos Mountains (there was snow!) and further afield, Limossol. We had friends staying up in Kathykas and Peyia, who froze at night and had to light the log fires, whilst we cosied up on the sofas and made the most of the vast DVD collection. During the day, when we weren't exploring, we spent time melting by the pool which was blissfully quiet and relaxing, we even braved a few lenghts! The location was brilliant for us all. The 'children' were able to catch the bus down to the harbour to shop and wander about whilst the older ones lazed around reading books in the sun. We hired a car to 'go up the hill' to see friends in Peyia and Kathykas and to 'go into town' (Paphos Town Centre). The older ones in our group did hit Bar street, but felt rather old! We ate out (mostly in Payia) but did hit the 'strip' (Tonbs of the King's Rd) on a couple of occasions and when we were low on energy we cooked at 'home' after a 'littlle' shop at Lidl which is 'just around the corner'. Lordies Lodge is a fantastic spot for getting away from it all, but you're never far from any of the action and only a stone's throw away from Coral Bay and the quieter villages 'up the hill'. Other guests attending the wedding popped round for drinks one evening from hotels on the 'strip' and villas 'up the hill', each of them commented on how lovely Lordies Lodge is and how homely it felt! How right they were too!
