My stay at Regent Lodge Hotel & Villa was a mixed bag. While the views were beautiful, and the food was fabulous, I faced challenges with service, and the pricing felt unfair. The location offered peace and quiet, but some amenities left much to be desired. Overall, I wouldn't consider it the best value for money. 🌄🍽️

I had a really enjoyable stay at Regent Lodge, especially after a rough night elsewhere. The early check-in and warm welcome with tea and biscuits made me feel right at home. While the room was a bit damp and lacked A/C, the stunning views and fantastic service from Dudley and his wife more than made up for it. Dining was a mixed bag; while breakfast was good, dinner prices were a tad steep for my taste.
