I stayed at Lilly Pond Lodge for a week - and spent my entire time there as a week of total relaxation. It was fantastic. The lodge, balcony and surrounding pond/grass area was perfect for my dog to just come in and out as he pleased. We used the back fields every day and, as an elderly dog, it was enough for his couple of walks a day. The balcony Read morewas great for sitting outside, in any weather, and the views were awesome.
