“My husband and I had 2 nights here to recover from the festive season - as we didn't bring our kids we loved that this site doesn't allow them!”
We found the lodges easily via sat nav/the directions emailed to us.
The lodge itself was just excellent. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped - the heated coat cupboard and hallway designed for muddy boots are a great idea. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding excellent quality (although my husband found the duvet too thick and heavy, I loved it!), and the shower had plenty of hot water and good water pressure. The kitchen was small (as you'd expect) but well designed and had a good range of utensils, crockery and cookware - we were impressed to find champagne flutes for our fizz! The sofa and chair were very comfortable, great for curling up on with a glass of wine and a book!
As we wanted to go out more or less straight away, my husband walked up to the farm house to say hello rather than wait for someone to come down. Cathy kindly agreed to call us a taxi into town (as it was dark and we didn't fancy walking) and advised us on where find mobile signal on the site.

Thank you for your detailed review and kind comments, Marie. We were very pleased to hear you enjoyed a relaxing break at Dell and we trust you recovered from the festive period ? Dell is the perfect place! We note your comments about the booking process, thank you. As Booking Agent for High Borrans, we charge a booking fee so that guests have the convenience of being able to book 24/7 followed by a comprehensive pree and post stay service. We recover charges levied by the credit card company although guests can use debit cards without any cost. We try and make the booking process as simple as possible for the convenience of guests. We apologise on this occasion if this was not the case. Further to your suggestions for improvement we have passed these on to the lodge owners for their consideration, thank you for these also. The lodge is the perfect retreat for those looking for escapism. Located in the heart of the countryside in total seclusion for peace and tranquillity, and as commented the lodge is excellent ? beautiful and cosy accommodation. Very kind of you to recommend High Borrans Dell to others, thank you. Perhaps we will welcome you again in the near future for another child free getaway?
