We had such a lovely time- it was great to get away and just be around each other. The living room was perfect for board games and we cooked a lot of lovely meals in the kitchen! Such a beautiful surrounding area too.

Fantastic lodge with a river flowing below the spacious garden. Highly recommend for a family gathering. So much space and well designed layout. It had everything you could need.

Lots of space,comfy beds and large kitchen. Access to the garden and the river worked great for us. We would recommend the Ptarmingam Lodge

Was a great weekend away, the lodge had everything that was needed. Even though it was in a residential area, it felt that it was secluded. Would definitely return again.

Thank you for our stay. We all enjoyed it, the hot tub was great, fire was easy to use. Loads of room for a big group. Just wish we went in nicer weather to enjoy outside more

Wonderful home in a beautiful location. Hot tub under the stars was a fantastic addition and the log burner with a glass of wine and a good book was the perfect relaxing getaway!
Private: “Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Really beautiful home in a beautiful location. Would only suggest that check out was a little later as it was a wee bit of a rush in the morning!”

The lodge was exactly as advertised. Beautiful lodge in a fantastic location over looking the river. The main living area with ceiling to floor windows and log fire make it feel special. We arrived in snow, the lodge was very warm and welcoming. The hot tub was hot and ready to use at any time. Kitchen fully equipped so handy for making meals. We had requested a high chair and upon realising this was not out this was rectified within the hour- very fast and helpful communication from dunpark and host. We would highly recommend this lodge for families and we would love to stay again some time.
