A Comfy home away from Home
Upon entering this little home we were so impressed with how clean and inviting it is. From the thoughtful decor and furniture to the selection of books for children and their parents, we felt welcomed. I was able to cook dinner with all the necessary pots, pans and utensils. We are glad that we tried this option of a holiday home during our 2 weeks of traveling.

Great short stay
We stayed over for one night only, the lodge is much bigger than the photos show, and we very much enjoyed our stay. We went to raby castle playground and Deer park nearby which was a great hit for our boys age 7&10, then back for a relax.
