The location is praised for its proximity to walking trails, local beaches, and amenities. It is described as a nice area, perfect for guests looking to explore the surroundings.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the living areas spacious. However, some noted that the lodge could feel crowded with more than two adults and suggested that the living room carpet appeared grubby.
The lodge is well-equipped with a hot tub, kitchen supplies, and family activities. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as a leaky hot tub roof, dirty outdoor furniture, and temperamental Wi-Fi.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

The accommodation afforded by the lodge was ideal for two adults and our big. Anymore and I think it would have felt crowded . Just couple of negatives there is no cupboard available to put food in eg tins of tomatoes soup cereal boxes as all cupboards filled with cooking utensils . Some of the towels had seen better days never didnât use had what doorsteps to be hair dye staining. On stripping the bed the duvet was stained and had seen better days. We replaced the batteries in the tv remote . Would be an idea to have some in a drawer for such an event. Location of the fuse box needs to be made to future residents as we had a trip in the electric the first morning and struggled to find it . I had to phone Annette the management lady . Apart from niggles we had a good week but think the fencing around the lodge needs replacing as itâs rotting in parts . The gate drive has a panel of roof missing leaving a hole hence making garden not dog proof. A stray dog appeared on the lawn which was shooed off but managed to leave a present in the drive !!!!
