    “Tent Lodge was an exceptional country house suiting the needs of our family gathering ranging from 9 months to 90 years.”

    The generous welcome gifts were a real treat. The kitchen was very well equipped and the Aga a real star for cooking & keeping the kitchen warm and cosy. The decor and was lovely and views from the house were amazing. A good week of weather - a definite bonus. Richard the owner was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!
