Place was dirty- had to clean the fridge,bin lid,crockery on arrival Poor kitchen supplies,only 1 small plate- no sharp knives for cutting veg/meat..no oven trays.Main shower and bath had poor water flow- couldn’t use it. Main gas cooker burner didn’t work.TV didn’t work properly, it wouldn’t switch on after two days - couldn’t load Apps to use instead of free view TV which flickered in and out of signal as had no WiFi working - tried resetting several times and an extra dongle with separate WiFi booster - adjacent properties ok . Light bulb in lampshade in main living area flickering- wrong size bulb- no spares .Contacted owner directly- he was abroad- tried suggestions and apologised but after spending 4 nights there it became tiresome- thankfully we had lovely weather so we were out and about-Veranda gate was difficult to open as catch was loose . Property needs a lot of attention sadly.would not recommend at this point in time

Me and my partner stopped this weekend for 2 nights and couldn't fault it for price we paid. You cant expect brand new immaculate lodge for this price (previous reviews didnt take this into account). Accommodation was warm and clean. Didn't take long to heat up. Site was quiet, didnt use any on site facilities. It had everything we needed for our stay. WiFi worked well, just had to connect TV to it, but was simple to do. Grill/oven and hob all easy to use. Shower was good, and hot. Temperature easy to adjust. Bed was comfy and towels were soft. Didn't use bath so can't comment on that. Hot tub was great, had plenty of use from us. Was checked every morning by someone on site. Only complaint was the bottle of wine left was alcohol free, lol.
