The Lodge is a beautiful, cosy, idyllic base for exploring the charming surrounding countryside. The beds are extremely comfortable and the cottage is spacious, well equipped and very clean. My mother and I only stayed for three days and three nights but it was enough for a recharge of the batteries. Kiftsgate Court Gardens (literally at the end of the road) is a treat for the soul. We both thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would both definitely return. Rob the host was very helpful and easy to get hold of, as was his cheerful father. Highly recommended; you can't go wrong here if you are looking for natural beauty and serenity. Thanks so much for a perfect mini break!
