Pheasant Lodge

After a long journey from Devon, we were met with a warm welcome at reception with keys and directions to Pheasant Lodge. The grounds we viewed as we headed in were immaculately kept with a large lake/pond with good fishing platforms in place. Brent geese and ducks had already moved in. A good play area, with some distance from the first lodge, looked safe and well maintained. The peace and expanse of this lovely spot, with 'work in progress' for a restaurant/cafe/shop, makes it definately, 'one to watch'. A good solid parking bay and our first view of the hot tub, with trellis screen covered in artificial ivy, for extra privacy, to the side of the lodge, was a welcome sight! The Lodge itself was spotlessly clean, with good furniture throughout. We were using both the double bedroom, which was very comfortable, with plugs in all the right places. A recess with open wardrobe gave extra space to store cases etc. The bathroom was between the 2 bedrooms, with a good shower and plenty of hot water. The heating was very efficient. We arrived on a cold, windy and wet day and were soon as warm as toast, comfortable..and reading instructions to use the hot tub! A nice deck to the front, with views over the lake and woods, would have been a nice place to relax, if it hadn't been for the weather. We did brave the hot tub - but the icy wind, when getting in and out, wasn't pleasant, however - soon forgotten once in the water! Excellent stay all round and great hosts!
