Pine Forest Lodge is a lovely, well equipped house. Having 5 en suite rooms is a bonus. Every bedroom boasts a beautiful view over the surrounding countryside, with the added attraction of the owner's herd of Fallow deer. I would thourghly recommend this property. Andy, the owner is so helpful and welcoming.

We have had such special family time together but equally were able to retreat to each of our rooms when needed. Every single room had its own en-suite bathroom which meant no issues with bathroom sharing. The social spaces were lovely and big. The kitchen was well equipped. The owner made up each room to our specific needs, regularly checking in wRead moreith us and making us feel so very welcome. They were fantastic hosts. Highly recommend!! Hide
