Guestbook for The Den

"The very first thing which impressed us was the WARM HOSPITALITY AND WELCOME we received from Peter and Carol It was a very pleasant experience to stay at Dragon Lodge. Their garden is colourful and well kept. Each unit has deck chairs and table and gas barbecue. It is situated in the beautiful Frensham area, with nearby forests with walk trails, Big Pond, garden centre and other places of interest to visit. Special mention must be made of the "breakfast pack" made available in the refrigerator: it far exceeded my expectation! It was ample and sumptuous including also a bottle of wine They have stocked each unit with ample tourist information and leaflets. Telephone and internet is available for use by guests. Special mention must also be made of the cleanliness of the units."

Excellent - we will return because of the responsiveness and flexibillity to requests and customer care demonstrated by Carol and Peter Wood" Lady B - Singapore 01/2009

"We have stayed twice in the Dragon Lodge; the first time in The Orangery (2 adults, one child), the second time in The Den (3 adults & 2 children). Carol and Peter Woods are very friendly and very uncomplicated. The second time we visited Dragon Lodge we really felt like coming home. You can park your car nearly in front of the apartments which is very comfortable when you have to unload your suitcases. The garden is wonderful and it is nice to sit in the sun in front of your apartment. DVDs, CDs and games are provided. There is free Wireless Lan available. A lot of information about local pubs and interesting things to see is also provided" S.B Germany

"Carol and Peter themselves are very welcoming and were always available when or if we needed them. There was a decking area outside the property with garden furniture provided and this looked on to a beautiful garden. We were also invited to use the gazebo in the garden. We have self-catered for over 30 years and this is one of, if not the best we have ever been in. Carol had sent us a lot of literature when we first booked the property" H.M. Edinburgh

"Very friendly owners and a welcoming bottle of wine. Comfortable bed, good heating, nice outside terrace for al fresco meals" J.S. Phuket
