The park was well maintained and the staff very friendly. We also had great weather and were able to do a lot of sightseeing. We particularly liked Carding Mill Valley. However the lodge itself needs some attention. As previous reviewers have said over the years the dining room chairs need replacing, they are most uncomfortable. Also more mirrors are needed, especially a full length one. There isn't a mirror suitable for using a hair dryer with, very difficult to dry hair when you can't see it. Also the outside furniture is shabby and needs replacing. All these points have been mentioned numerous times over the years, but nothing seems to be done. Obviously the owner is not interested in people enjoying their holiday which is a shame when they have been looking forward to staying in a lovely lodge only to be disappointed.

The location was lovely, the site was beautiful and everything clean, except one small piece of glass we found in the hot tub, maybe some plastic cups would help for using in hot tub, I didnât see any. Other than that the kitchen had everything you would expect. We read the reviews briefly before coming and agree with some points, of noisy traffic and VERY firm beds but this didnât affect my sleep. The seats at the dining table need replacing and we had to sit on cushions, no full length mirror anywhere, not really the luxury you expect for the price of the stay. I wouldnât let any of this put you off staying but hopefully the owners take some note of these comments.
