My boyfriend and I stayed at the Alpaca Lodge last weekend. It was exactly what we needed during these times!
I hadn't done too much research into the location or what the lodge looked like, so when we arrived after a long day of driving we were completely taken aback. It's a beautiful isolated property situated up a countryside lane and it overlooks the most scenic view.

Simon greeted us as soon as we arrived and we felt so welcomed. We were also able to say hello to the adorable alpacas who were waiting for their dinner!
The decor inside the lodge was gorgeous, so rustic and cosy. You can tell they really put a lot of thought and care into the place - milk and orange juice in the fridge, cereal, tea and coffee, mugs, everything you need! The place was really clean, too. Another plus is that the bed was incredibly comfortable and we had the best night's sleep we'd had in a long while.

I booked the alpaca trekking in the forest for the next morning and it was such a great experience! Mia took the time to thoroughly inform us about the alpacas and how to handle them before we took off. The alpacas are so well cared for and trained. I fell in love with all of them (although we had particular soft spots for Buddy and Fat Sean). I don't think we stopped smiling the entire walk!
We left this place feeling so relaxed and happy and wishing we had stayed a few more nights.
Thank you Mia and Simon for being excellent hosts! We hope we can visit again soon ☺️
