I stayed at the Lodge for one night whilst walking a section of the Pennine Way. After hiking in the rain for a few hours that day I was very happy to arrive and discover everything I needed to dry my clothes (heated towel rail and maiden) and make a cup of tea!
The Lodge was very clean and tidy but still felt homely with books, plants and nice decorations. There was a useful information book with menus, leaflets and recommendations of places to eat/visit which Hannah had obviously put considerable thought and care into making.
I found the setting very peaceful, despite being next to a road and it was especially nice that the bedroom faced west as there was a lovely view of the sunset the evening I stayed.
It was a shame I didn’t have time to cook breakfast as Hannah keeps chickens and there were some fresh eggs left out.
It would be nice to return on a more leisurely trip, sample the eggs and also explore Diggle. It looks as though there are some nice cafes and shops within a short walk of the Lodge.
If you are looking for peace and nature or a touch of luxury on the Pennine Way I can highly recommend the Lodge!
