Porters Lodge Reviews

8.8/10

United Kingdom, October 2022

The lodge provided an amazing view and the atmosphere was great! It was the perfect location for a romantic escape, with easy access to the ski field. the owners were lovely and the staff were friendly. the food was excellent, especially the dinner options like burgers and pork ribs. the rooms were clean, comfortable, and warm, with heaters and cozy duvets. It was a great place to relax after a long day of skiing.

That it got quite cold at night. Other than that, there was nothing bad to say about the place.

United Kingdom, September 2022

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a fantastic lodge in a beautiful mountain setting. the views from the lodge were absolutely breathtaking, both during the day and at night when you could see the stars. the hosts, Michelle and Bruno, were incredibly accommodating and friendly, always willing to chat and make you feel welcome. One highlight of my stay was walking up a brand new mountain bike track and being rewarded with a truly breathtaking view. the homemade burger buns and meat patties cooked by the hosts were particularly delicious. the lodge had two outdoor baths, which were a really cool and unique feature. I had a wonderful experience at Porters Lodge.

Nothing to be said 🤷‍♂️
