Very clean on arrival. Plenty of towels provided. Kitchen was well equipped, lots of cutlery and utensils, no salt and pepper so bring your own. Welcome pack with Tea towel, washing up liquid, sponge, dishwasher tablets, hotel style tea and coffee sachets. Weather not the best on our visit but the heating quickly warmed the lodge.

Lodge was extremely musty, and falling to bits. The carpet was coming away from door strips, handles were coming away from doors, blinds were broken where fitted, removed from some windows, hot and cold discs were missing off bath taps, the shower was mouldy and the wooden flooring throughout the living area was buckling with years of washing. The outside of the lodge walls, windows and patio furniture was absolutely covered in bird poo.
