Very disappointed with the accommodation. We were welcomed to a very strong smell of curry that continued for at least 3 days. Unfortunately the lodge looked like it was in need of a refurb which we could overlook but the musty smell of the towels and bedding we couldn't. It was the musty smell of the bedding when trying to get to sleep each night that pushed me to write this review. We even bought frebeze to try and freshen it up. Don't think much cleaning gets done as there was a huge spider web on the inside of the window. The bathroom floor looked very mouldy.
