We loved staying at The Lodge. We had read lots of great reviews before we booked - and they were all accurate. Darlington is beautiful- quiet, but with a couple of great cafes within walking distance. The house was very pretty and well appointed, and the bathroom was great. There were pretty Christmas lights decorating the garden path and stockings hanging on the fireplace, which were lovely touches as we were there for Christmas. The pool was just like the pictures: natural looking with some resident wildlife (ducks and frogs!), but still a refreshing place for a dip on a hot day. We were six adults, so we thought sharing one bathroom might be a challenge but it wasn’t too bad. I think a second bathroom is planned, and that will be a great addition. Overall, we were delighted with the property, and Trent and Lina were very welcoming hosts. We had a great time!
