This is an absolutely stunning place that Chrissy is offering out. A short drive from Manchester if you want to be in the city, and far enough away that the peace and quiet is deafening! Best of both worlds.
The annex with the hot tub is a great touch... mood lighting, heating and chairs make it a great place to chill out. The only downside is the lack of privacy during the day, but amazing in the evenings.
The lodge itself gets very warm, very quick - either using the heaters or the wood burner.
We loved our trip.
