    “We've just enjoyed a fabulous week's stay at the mallard.”

    The lodge was spotless on arrival! With lovely helpful touches like tea and coffee to get you started, snacks, washing up liquid, cloths and tea towels. Not to mention a toilet roll in each bathroom! Luxury! The onsite facilities were also top notch! The lakeside bar was only open on our first night but staff were extremely friendly and super helpful. We would have been back every night if it was open (only open Fri/sat/sun outside local school holidays). Our son loved the two play areas as ...

    The lodge was spotless on arrival! With lovely helpful touches like tea and coffee to get you started, snacks, washing up liquid, cloths and tea towels. Not to mention a toilet roll in each bathroom! Luxury! The onsite facilities were also top notch! The lakeside bar was only open on our first night but staff were extremely friendly and super helpful. We would have been back every night if it was open (only open Fri/sat/sun outside local school holidays). Our son loved the two play areas as well as the telephone box of books, dvds and games/puzzles to borrow during our stay! The lake was beautiful and perfect for an evening walk! My husband was gutted he'd not brought his clubs for the golf! It looked great! All round a lovely stay which we would highly recommend! Can't wait to return!
