The house was lovely and warm when we arrived in the cold early evening - Carl had left heaters on in the main room and the bedroom which was very considerate! The place was clean and tidy, and beds were made up for us already, with towels and a little shampoo and conditioner left out for our use. The log fire was already set up and ready to go with just the strike of a match - another nice touch. The kitchen was stocked with basic condiments and a couple of tea bags. While the place itself was quite nice, it was odd being a couple and staying in a big (largely empty) building that slept an additional 10+ people. With the night being so quiet outside, it almost felt a little creepy in this regard, although I should qualify that we're used to living in a small unit. The only less than ideal element to our stay was that the website had recommended the lodge as 'ideal for couples'... but when we got there, two single beds were made up, and there were no double beds to be found! Would definitely recommend that future lodgers stay here as a larger group rather than as a couple!
