The drive to the lodge is very steep, my wee manual town car managed to make it but I'd recommend a 4WD.
That's literally the only less-than-perfect comment I have! I booked Birdsong as an early birthday treat with an initial group of 5 however this dwindled down to 2. From the welcoming sign to the pre-stacked fire, Tanya is an amazing host, accommodating and understanding if circumstances change. Everything is tidy, beautiful and felt like a home away from home.
Let me tell you that Birdsong does NOT disappoint!! No light pollution here and the clear skys are simply STUNNING. The rooms are beautiful, I slept in the master bedroom and left the doors open overnight. It was a treat to fall asleep in the moonlight and wake up to birds literally singing right outside my window. What is even more impressive is the fact that the rest of the house remained warm overnight like the fire was still roaring!!
Tanya came down to see us briefly, which was a nice touch. There aren't enough words to explain how much I enjoyed my stay and as a mental health nurse, Birdsong is exactly the type of retreat I needed! Thank you Tanya and I'll be back again in a month or so.
