Willow Lodge

Μου άρεσε It’s an absolute pleasure to write this review. Sally and Tom are the perfect hosts, they go out of their way to make your stay as close to perfect as possible. You can always count on their kindness, respect and the privacy they provide. The place is filled with peace, quiet and a true connection with nature.

The cabin is equipped with everything you need: blankets, pillows, bedding and towels. And if there’s ever anything missing, getting in touch with Sally and Tom is effortless and if they can help, they certainly will.

The bathroom - there’s hot water in the shower, with plenty of space and light :-)
The kitchen - it has everything you might need: plates, mugs, cutlery, pots and pans, a small fridge, a little cooker, a toaster and a kettle. There’s even baking paper!

We were absolutely charmed by the basket of dog goodies, including a jar of dog biscuits, which was such a thoughtful touch! On top of that, the folder full of helpful tips and recommendations was incredibly useful and made our stay even easier.

You can enjoy a barbecue, a small campfire or simply sit in the sunshine or shade. The tree right by the cabin creates a magical atmosphere, adding so much charm and even offers cover from a light summer shower ;-)

We wholeheartedly recommend it!

Δεν μου άρεσε We don’t consider these to be negatives, but (subjectively) points worth mentioning:

The cabin really works best as a one-bedroom for two people. For us, it was fine - our kids didn’t mind, with two of us sharing the bed and the other two sleeping on the bench seats converted into makeshift beds. However, this might not be the most comfortable option for everyone, especially for younger children (under 5-6 years old) or adults who need more space.

There is barely any mobile signal or internet. For us, this was a blessing, we loved it! A total reset and a perfect break from the online noise. Still, it’s something to be aware of and good to plan ahead with things like sightseeing routes, restaurants, coffee spots, etc. in advance. Especially as the local pub isn’t open every day ;-)

Δεν μου άρεσε Nothing, sadly we only stayed a night due to breaking our journey. Ideally we could of done with another night to explore the area.

Μου άρεσε Lovely lodge, like a Hobbit house, excellent secure outside space for our dog to explore, quiet & peaceful setting, comfortable bed. Seeing the beautiful cows in the field was an added bonus.

Δεν μου άρεσε The indoor fire pit is very large & would probably make the lodge smell if you cooked on it, also we wouldn't have been able to sleep with the smell of wood burning as it's very small inside with only 2 rooms, a small log burner inside would have been better as there is a fire pit outside to use. The indoor seating area is very uncomfortable to sit on. No hot water in the lodge. Definitely needs a TV to watch in the evening's, we took our small TV which has an inbuilt DVD slot, so we took some action/comedy DVDs with us, there is no signal so you can't watch normal TV, if you were staying in the winter, it would be nice to watch TV after a full day out. Unfortunately the local pub which was only a 5 minute walk away was closed during our stay.

Μου άρεσε Privacy, tranquility,immaculate facilities, beautiful design that was a delight to be in with options of central log burner I would have loved to use had it not been mid summer! Hosts were wonderful too.

Μου άρεσε We loved our stay at Willow Lodge. It offered everything we needed and more. Our children (11 & 5) loved the rainbow lights and seeing the cows each day. With lots to do nearby, it was an amazing place to stay come rain or shine. Sally and Tom were fantastic hosts and were on hand to make sure our trip went smoothly. We definitely recommend a visit and we would happily book to stay again. Thank you for a wonderful Easter break.

Από τον διαχειριστή: Thank you for taking the time to leave a lovely review. It means a lot to us to know you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again.

Μου άρεσε The indoor fire was an amazing touch.
The lighting the boys thought was very cool and the whole place was very clean.

Δεν μου άρεσε The shower was so cold it gave you around 10 seconds of heat then went freezing but if you turned it off then back on you would get 10 seconds of heat again.

Not having hot water in the lodge.

Μου άρεσε Everything!! The Lodge is so unique and cute, the indoor firepit was so cozy. There is everything you could need provided, and the hosts was so welcoming. The enclosed garden was great for the dogs, we have got 2 pomeranian's and the garden was secure, even for tiny dogs. We loved it that much we have booked again. We are on 3 mobile, and we managed to get get enough signal to watch Netflix, but to simply be there and just chilling and chatting around the fire was so relaxing.
