8/10 Very good

Fantastic hilltop views and large clean units. Felt a bit dated and there were a few small issues - jacuzzi tub not functional “due to unavailable parts” (according to the note). Very delicious food in the restaurant. I’d stay again - especially if I had some friends with us. But beware - there is a very challenging drive up to the property.

Absolutely loved this beautiful Lodge! The Breakfast & Dinner was excellent! My only advice is to make sure the shower control pads are cleaned properly & onetap in my bathroom was broken. Will still highly recommend Woodhouse Lodge. Lianne Jansen (Your chef made amazing food & the menus were 10/10
