"From The First Meal To The Last, The Food Was Excellent.."

“From the first meal to the last, the food was excellent and chef Michael made easily one of the best desserts I have ever tasted. We had all meals at the lodge amounting to 8 in total and every meal had more than enough options, freshly prepared and best of all the menu was always different and a welcome and tasty surprise. The service at meals and the bar was incredibly attentive, personable and friendly with a nothing is any trouble at all attitude.”
