    “The property, like others on the development are built to a high standard and are impressive.”

    Entering Goldenhaye lodge #12A through to the lounge/diner, instils the Wow factor, with it's vaulted ceiling standing at probably 45ft high and having a fully glazed aspect onto the garden and beyond. Don't expect to see all your fav. TV programs if it's raining, because no-one has taken the effort to hook-up the device to the internet so only free-to air programs will be available.

    Entering Goldenhaye lodge #12A through to the lounge/diner, instils the Wow factor, with it's vaulted ceiling standing at probably 45ft high and having a fully glazed aspect onto the garden and beyond. Don't expect to see all your fav. TV programs if it's raining, because no-one has taken the effort to hook-up the device to the internet so only free-to air programs will be available. Shame about that given it's entering the winter cold season and this prime inside facility will be vital. Clean, in every respect, but aging not too well. Overall even though we were there out of high season, it felt to be a little bit too costly - perhaps try one of the smaller lodges, if you don't need to space and if there is one available. You'll need to get booked early though to get one of those.
