A lovely relaxing break from away.The hot tub was a definite bonusEvery thing you needed was supplied apart from scissors but got around this
Confirmed Guest
Overall we had a lovely weekend at the lodge, there were a few issues with drainage in both showers, and also the hot tub didn’t heat up very well to the point where we had to add extra hot water. There was some wear and tear in the lodge itself including a broken handle on one of the sliding doors meaning it couldn’t be opened, which would of been helpful to be able to open due to the high weather temperatures over the weekend. There were also some essential items that weren’t available within such as scissors and a larger variation of cooking utensils, but we were able to find ways around this. The knives were also not very sharp so a sharpener available would’ve been ideal. It’s in a nice quiet location, if not a little awkward to get to, but was overall good value for money and fit for its purpose.
