Merok Lodge

My husband & I are retired and decided to make part of our home into an apartment. We wanted to share what we feel is a lovely location. Also we have met some delightful and interesting people. We are both very active. Terry plays crown Green Bowls & he is a team manager. I am also play Crown Green Bowls & manage a ladies team. I also play indoor bowls. Terry worked in computers and I was a teacher but also a swimming coach/teacher. I also, until lockdown, coached swimming to all ages in a local Triathlon club. Terry is an ex footballer playing for England Grammar schools. I am an ex England team swimmer-all those years ago! We love hosting at Merok Lodge & hope to have created a pleasant holiday let. Finally we are both very aware of the Coronavirus implications. We clean & sanitise the whole apartment after occupancy wearing all the protective clothing. We leave a 2 day gap between bookings to ensure healthy safety for our guests.
