When talking to someone in the bar, one member of staff although busy was really trying to help us and reported the issue to the maintenance- who only had five minutes left of their shift and I am unaware they did anything about - blamed the fact it was a bank holiday. Another member of the staff at the bar claimed it was nothing to do with them and therefore wasnât even going to attempt to help us and didnât give us the time of day. This put up off sitting outside and using the hot tub. Additionally, the hot tub had sand floating around and clearly hadnât been cleaned. Whilst ringing around different numbers- the bank holiday got the blame for our problems. Inside the cabin, the table was sticky and obviously hadnât been cleaned. We couldnât open the windows due to the smell. However the smell was apparent inside the lodge anyway. As you can imagine, this wasnât a great start to the week and put us off being able to relax. The smell came and went throughout the week and sometimes came when using the kitchen tap. The toaster was very temperamental and there were kitchen doors which werenât screwed on properly. The single beds were too small and very uncomfortable - stains in the linen made us feel a bit dirty. Although warned, it was quite an inconvenience having no water running through the shower or taps on Friday. We did have most things we needed and plenty of seating in the lounge with a fire like heater which was nice. Unfortunately, we will not be returning and wouldnât recommend, but wanted to pass on the reasons why. Thank you, Sammy.

The kitchen was not "well equiped" as advertised. Only one decent pan, bowl and baking trays were rusty and well used. So I had to buy some new ones. No can opener. I had to remake ALL the beds - my 4 yr old grand daughter could have done a better previous job!! The duvet covers were torn. 2 small bottles of wine left were certainly NOT sufficient compensation for having no water Monday morning..apparently due to turnover times when hot tubs are emptied and refilled. The outdoor furniture cushions were wet through and filthy. Two were missing. My daughter and I had to scrub them clean and dry before use. In the main bathroom there are urine splash stains on the bottom of the radiator...not a pleasant site at all. Attention to detail above required because it was a massive let down for a lodge that is a decent size for a family of four

Plenty of stuff to do too! The only downfall I would say is the single beds really are small and I wouldnât say an adult can sleep comfortably in them more like 2 children beds but other than that absolutely amazing!!! We will definitely be back x
