Enjoy the Countryside Responsibly
“I can honestly say this is the nicest place I have ever stayed. Nikki has thought of everything. The setting is amazing. The lodge is amazing. The beds are so comfortable and the quality of everything is second to none. We even had gorgeous welcome cakes on arrival. We couldn’t fault it if we tried. We were 4 friends on a relaxing weekend away and it was exactly that. I couldn’t recommend Sheep Lodge enough. Thank you Nikki!”
