Overnight stop

Nothing grand about this Lodge, but as a place to stop overnight on your way to somewhere else it is acceptable. There is a pool and the grounds are pleasant so children will have something to do, especially as the nearby tidal stream from which the Lodge takes its name provides for exploring - but it could also be a little tricky for very young ones.

6/10 Okay
