TLC required for en-suite, cushions required for decking furniture and bath taps need sorting. There is also some carpet moth in second bedroom. However none of this would stop me going again as the units were well sized and in a good location.

The lodge could use a renovation. The bathrooms were in bad shape a lot of mold. The benches should be renewed. The television is dated nowedays a smart tv would be fine. There was a sewer smell in and around the lodge. Tip: a charger For an ev vehicle.We were in Bath Mill in 2016 we loved the lodge and the setting but in the current condition of the lodge we wouldn’t recommend it.

Great spacious accommodation with large decking area. The accommodation was clean and modern but it is showing wear and tear in some areas.
