“The lodges offer an exceptional stay, providing spacious bathrooms and open floor plans that enhance the overall experience. With its proximity to both the castle and clubhouse, convenience is a given, and the on-site dining stands out, particularly the seafood chowder which, in my opinion, is not to be missed. The staff's friendly, accommodating nature further elevates the appeal.”
