A few ideas to make the most of the lodge better: A selection of DVDs would have been welcome in the cinema room. Fridge not big enough to self cater. Insufficient cutleryâ¦. 4 of each item (knives, forks and spoons), not really user friendly. Overall it was an excellent stay and highly recommended

We have had multiple holidays at the Southern Halt site (and Stonerush Lakes) over the years; this was a very good experience. What a lovely lodge, and surprisingly in very good condition (itâs one of the original lodges)⦠NB. I would replace the crockery, and provide coasters for mugs/glasses. Easy fix. Well done, top marks regardlessâ¦

They are a very good company but inspection of properties needs to be improved. 12 Meadow Retreat - The area and park are lovely, quiet and pretty. The lodge was well laid out and clean. However, basic needs were not met. The following need to be addressed - - filthy toilet brush - only 2 mismatched glasses for drinking - very uncomfortable sofa (cushions have lost support) - lack of side tables for drinks in lounge - legs on dining table loose (my husband had to tighten them but still wobbly) - not enough hangers for clothing - shower door does not seal properly - sheet on bed had dirty marks down the side - mattress not supportive on bed - pillow poor quality and not supportive - cinema room experience was not good due to sound bar not working because the connection lead between the sound bar and the TV was missing and no instructions for use of the system.
