Dexter Lodge At Calthwaite Hall Reviews

Sarah
The lodge itself is lovely and really well situated, but check-in was a bit confusing. We waited outside the gates unsure where to go until we called the number provided. It might be simpler if they just advised guests to go to The Globe pub nearby to check in. Still, a nice stay overall!
Emma Roberts
