The lodge would be outstanding for the windows alone: walls of glass make rooms seem light even when the weather is dreary, and they are even better when there’s a good view. But there’s much more to recommend it: the place is very warm, clean and modern (the Netflix is a nice bonus). The interior is more urban-professional than country-cottagey, but it still seems cosy enough; it’s perfect for couples. The large open-plan space is on the ground floor, with a sizeable bedroom and the bathroom (large walk-in shower, no tub) upstairs. There’s a large supermarket in Marple, just a short drive away.
