Not stayed at this particular lodge before Lodge kitted out to a high standard and hot tub was perfect after walking each day. A big thank you to the owners for letting us stay in your amazing lodge. Phil P - Wrexham

But the lodge wasnât clean. Weird residue on cutlery. Cobwebs everywhere inside and especially outside the lodge. When you open a door from the outside thereâs colonies of insects living inside the door frames. WiFi never worked, TV wouldnât connect to any type of network, luckily we brought an XBOX down. Honestly if there was a little more effort on cleaning the lodge, it would of easily been 4 stars
