The double bed did not have a mattress protector on it nor did the sheet fit the mattress. The duvet was too thin and the bedding was very outdated. This is not a place to relax. We actually left a day early as we needed a good nights sleep and we were not going to get it staying there.

The site was so peaceful and quiet, and we could even see the tops of some fells on clear days, and views of Scotland in the other direction. We will absolutely stay again.

The kitchen appliances sufficed but were by no means top brands as per the listing. No baking trays, remotes with no batteries, very uncomfortable beds with inadequate tog quilts, broken recliners, lots of flies (and spiders). Nice location for travelling though and as long as you dont intend spending too much time in the lodge/van, will be enjoyable. The Greyhound Inn down the road serves decent food and is good value for the money.
