A wonderful stay with the most amazing staff that just aimed to please
Pros:

The breakfasts were great. The staff exceptional and friendly. Amazing chef Mike aimed to please. Really a value for money stay. I would definitely recommend Kings Lodge. Sia the receptionist was just the best.

Cons:

The music in the dining room we asked a few times to turn it down as you could not hear yourself speak.

Loved the cottage, the location, the staff & the food.
Pros:

The location is perfect and our cottage was very cosy. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially Siya who has a passion for her job. The meals were delicious

Cons:

We only had breakfast at the hotel on our last morning. We waited very long for our coffee & we were told they had a unforeseen staffing issue.
They could perhaps have a 2 prong plug as we forgot to take one

The grounds and swimming pool were in a sad state. Considering it was Easter weekend, this should have been attended too.
