We arrived a little late, but host Sally was waiting for us. Showed us where everything was & if we needed anything she was there but would respect our privacy. The cabin was lovely in a beautiful setting. You have everything you need for a comfortable stay. It was all spotlessly clean. Very peaceful & just what you need to recharge your batteries. I'm sure we will revisit at some point.

Perfect little getaway!

What an absolute hidden gem of a place, so peaceful and quiet, perfectly done so that you feel like your rural camping but with all the little luxuries that you could want, so much land for the dog to explore, and a 5 minute walk from a lovely pub (the boat inn) The host Sally could not have been more lovely, I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and hope to be back again soon!

We were looking for a peaceful location for a much needed break, this property was unique, extremely comfortable and the surroundings were beautiful. The host was lovely and so friendly, made us feel very welcome and kindly asked us to help ourselves to some of the lovely apples from the orchard. The local pub, the Boat Inn was so good we ate there both nights we stayed, would highly recommend and would definitely return

A huge thank you to Simon and Sally for our wonderful break away this weekend.From booking to saying goodbye, everything was seamless.The lodge was so quaint and cosy, the setting was simply breathtaking and the local areas were perfect for walking our furry friends. This is as serene as breaks get, an acre of land within an orchard, watching our two dogs explore nature completely uninterrupted, lighting an outdoor fire in the evening with a cheeky glass of wine and simply spending quality time together.I have a feeling this is going to be a regular booking for us!

Last minute booking absolutely beautiful, tranquil location for an overnight stay. My husband and I enjoyed everything the log cabin had to offer and facilities were perfect. The hosts Sally & Simon plus their doggy friends were exceptionally welcoming. We will definitely return, hopefully in the winter to experience the winter wonderland with the cosy log burner 😍
