    “Top Lodge is in a good location within the park, quiet & not overlooked by others.”

    It was warm & clean. Some of the crockery & pans were not cleaned properly by previous occupants. The two single beds were comfortable but the couple in the double said it was not so good. A few microwavable dishes would be useful too. I would stay here again it is very accessible for lots of walks, cycling & swimming.
