This is my 2nd stay at Twycross Lodge, this time with my sister and her husband. It is in an ideal location for visiting many attractions and the property is spacious, well equipped and has lovely owners. Ideal for dog owners as adjacent to Chew Valley lake and for coeliacs, close to Salt and Malt, which serves excellent gluten free fish and chips.

A very comfortable, spacious property with lovely decor and furnishings, located very near to Chew Valley lake for walking.
