Guests say
Astoria Lodge is praised for its modern decor, cleanliness, and stunning views, particularly enjoyable from the decking area. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds, making it a great family retreat. Some concerns over traffic noise and minor cleanliness issues were noted, but overall experiences have been positive, with guests keen to return.
Most guests found the lodge to be spotlessly clean and well-presented. However, one review mentioned cleanliness issues such as cobwebs and leftover mess, slightly lowering the score.
The lodge boasts fantastic views and is conveniently close to shops. The proximity to a busy road was noted by some as a drawback due to traffic noise.
The lodge is consistently described as comfortable, with special mentions of the comfortable beds and the overall cosy atmosphere.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and space for families. Points were deducted for the mention of unstable dining chairs and a broken item in the oven.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so this category cannot be scored.

The 2 twin bedrooms are small, however they are ok for a short stay. It would be useful to have a cloth for wiping down surfaces and some washing up liquid for individual items when not using the dishwasher, also oven gloves. Due to an oversight, towels hadnât been provided, however the owner arranged for some to be sent over.

The view is fantastic and is accessible to shops. Great for families with children. It would be great if there was a holiday guide that told us about local tourist spots. Highly recommend.
