Ideal getaway for couples!

Liked: A great chalet for couples! Very clean and had everything you needed for the duration of your stay, and with some really nice touches to make it homely. The Hawthorn Lodge was beautifully situated on the river, only a 5-minute walk from Pucks Glen, which was an excellent walk taking in nature and the gorge, and not far from Benmore botanical garden. It was reassuring that our hosts were only a message away if we had any queries, and they promptly responded. Would definitely recommend and return there!

Exceptional

Liked: The lodge was in a nicely secluded location but easy to access, and connect to local services and points of interests. Stephen and Liz were equally brilliant in effectively communicating and providing recommendations for the area. They also had great foresight to get the lodge to a nice temperature for the time of year!

Good

Liked: Quiet and cosy .
Disliked: No footpath or pavements outside the the main entrance for walking.

Lovely quiet retreat amongst fantastic...

Liked: Lovely location, lots of great walks nearby, peaceful riverside garden. Log burner was great although we hadn't brought matches so had to pop out to get those, the cabin was very warm and cosy with the fire going
Disliked: We hadn't thought to bring some cooking basics (oil, salt, pepper etc) so had to go out to get these as well as something to light the fire with. No real fault with this but worth highlighting to others planning to stay!

Peaceful getaway

Liked: Went for a writing retreat and was not disappointed! Cosy cabin and location, road traffic was few and far between so easy to forget about and the view was lovely. Plenty to do nearby too and a helpful guide is included in the cabin to keep your days busy. Log fire was delightful too
Disliked: Only thing that slightly bothered me was a tarp and some boards by the bedroom window as it ruined the illusion of being in the wilderness but it was nothing worthy of complaining about to be honest

Had an amazing time really...
