The lodge was a pet lodge and unfortunately had not been cleaned at all. The toilets were unhygienic, the carpets, floors and even the curtains were covered in dog hair. There were even dog hairs in the drawers, the washing up bowl and the sinks. No welcome pack and remains of dog treats around the side sink. Sadly, this has been the same when reading previous reviews for lodge 16.
