the family lodge had a perfect location away from the hotel. the setting was lovely and provided huge space for our break. the location next door to the spa was also perfect.
the hotel offered dinner as either two courses or three courses, but vegetables and potatoes cost extra. i ordered a curry, but naan bread was an additional charge. this made it difficult to have a balanced meal.
