I am writing to provide some feedback following our stay at kingfisher lodgeFirstly, we had a lovely holiday and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the local area. The location was beautiful, and overall we had a wonderful time. However, there were several issues with the lodge and some aspects of the accommodation that we felt were either poorly maintained or not accurately represented in the holiday description.The issues we experienced were as follows:The property was advertised as having a gas BBQ actually it was a charcoal BBQ it was also in poor condition with no plate to catch the coals and was rusty and old. We considered it unsafe to use and believe it requires it a repair or replacement.The bedroom door handle broke during our stay, would like to thank the maintenance team who responded promptly.The outdoor furniture was old and is need of a deep clean. The furniture on terrace area was particularly worn. One of the towels provided had a large noticeable stain. The tin opener provided was broken and unusable.The roasting tin in oven was peeling very badly and unsafe to use.Sofa was worn and plastic covering peeling way. Patio table was dirty on arrival. Down stairs curtains had stains on the bottom needed replacing or cleaning. Accommodation listed as having two swimming pools but was only one as this was misleading. Children could only use the pool early morning and afternoon. Overall it did not spoil our holiday but when the issues could have been easily addressed through better maintenance, house keeping, and more accurate advertising.I would appreciate your comments on the points raised and would like to know what action will be taken to address these issues for future guests.I also believe some consideration should be given in recognition of the discrepancies between the advertised facilities and what was actually provided. Thankyou for taking the time consider my feedback. I look forward to hearing from you.

Positives - great location and easy to acces Darmouth, Totnes, Salcombe etc, clean and tidy, plenty of space and good for Family's. Only negatives are, the pool /spa is looking a little tired in places and the food at the club restaurant was very average considering the price point.
