Liked: Just Wow! We were greeted by the owner Jim who showed us around and was so friendly and helpful. The moment we walked through the gate, down the pretty path leading to the enclosed garden, we knew we were going to love it. The lodge which has everything you need for a perfect stay, was just so beautiful. Walking onto the decking and through the French doors I was so pleased with how pretty it was. You have a kitchen/dining area then a lovely, comfy seating area. At the other end is a gorgeous walk in shower and a toilet. The lodge has a coat area with a basket for your shoes and crocs were in there too. Our dog Monty absolutely loved the garden and refused to come in. When it’s time for bed you walk across to the shepherds hut. Inside is again a beautifully decorated bedroom with a luxurious bed. Dressing gowns hang for your convenience. Then through some pretty doors was the main feature of the room for me, the roll top bath! There is shampoo/conditioner, soaps and lots of little bits that are helpful. There is an outside hose which is very helpful for washing down boots or your dirty fur baby. We were very warm during our stay here even without the heating on. We loved that you have the whole place to yourself. We had a lovely card to welcome us along with some delicious treats. (Thank You) We can’t wait to come back in the warmer months too.

Liked: We chose to spend our 25 Wedding Anniversary at The Challoners with our two golden retrievers and enjoyed two wonderful nights enjoying the peace and quiet of the area. The care and attention by the owners make this a wonderful rural retreat. We enjoyed beautiful country walks from the door and the owner told us there are two good pubs walking distance from The Challoners. We will be definitely returning for more than two nights next time. We were so lucky with the weather and loved being in the garden sitting out or laying in the hammock and knowing our dogs were in a dog friendly garden and only being able to hear the sounds of birds. Even if we returned and we were not so lucky with the weather we would still have a cosy enjoyable stay.
