The location of the lodge is great and very serene, and the instructions that Monica provided were very precise; don't follow the Google Maps directions from the GPS co-ordinates on the listing, as its not accurate.

The lodge itself is cosy and comfortable, with a good equipped kitchen. There is no conventional oven but there is a microwave. We took the option of hiring a tent, which Dermot had kindly set up for us, and it was good fun with the kids. The next morning we took a short walk in the adjoining forest area and headed out the Eagles Flying conservation/pet-farm/zoo which is a must-do when visiting the area.

Word of warning though, there are midges (small flies) due to the close proximity of a stream and damp forest, and they can be quite problematic during the summer months. Get lots of insect repellent if you plan on staying outdoors, as for some folks their bite can get quite itchy and when badly bitten can result in welts. Some more than others.

Overall good experience, and wish we could stay longer to explore the surrounding area. Dermot and Monica were really great hosts and were there to greet us when we arrived. They bought us extra pillows for the tent and were accessible for anything we needed.
