The Lodge has had a fresh new facelift thanks to the incredible Willie & Baz from WS Painting! They have done an amazing job, leaving the interior looking fresh, modern, and ready to welcome guests for the busy season ahead. 👨‍🎨 Also, the stag head is looking more majestic than ever with the whiter wall creating an antler shadow.
