South Lodge East is a characterful property pleasantly decorated with a well equipped kitchen (although no freezer box in fridge.) Bedroom is a good size with a comfy bed and compact en suite (lovely shower!). The lodge has lovely rural views and we spotted lots of birds of Prey. Perhaps should be noted that it is a fair distance from the Hall and Read moreother attractions if walking. Hide
