    Nice big home, spacious parking with cosy interior. Tucked out the way for a nice relaxing stay.

  • Karen

    Appreciated the heating and hot water. Very cosy looking, but needs some TLC. The property could do with the following items to improve a visitors experience:- No Pint glasses available. Also some Shower / Bath mats to step out onto, so floor got wet. Hooks on the backs of ‘all’ bedroom doors for dressing gowns, also the same for outside coats as they is nowhere to hang Open staircase needs looking attention, even if some wooden spindles or struts were erected from the floor to the ceiling along the open space. Some of the dining seats are rickety/ loose, so we just used ones that felt safe and solid. Netflix needs attention as it didn’t work. Bath towels needed updating, small size for bath towels and not very thick. Would take my own next time. A toothbrush container needed in both bathrooms, we had to use kids plastic drinks cups from the kitchen. Toilet in en-suite in larger bedroom fills up very high and is temperamental. Larger fridge freezer needed as when a lot of people staying, not much room to put chilled produce, a new fridge freezer could be installed in the tall kitchen cupboard where they currently store brooms and mops. A much larger saucepan needed for ‘family’ sized spaghetti bolognaise meals etc..as only 2 x medium sized saucepans available. More drinking mugs needed and a New frying pan needed, as the non stick has worn off. Cobwebs noted. some very high up and hard to reach in the wooden rafters. All said we had a good stay, the lounge was comfy and the inglenook fireplace is lovely. Lodge is very warm and plenty of space to park 2-3 cars.

    Positives - The bedrooms have been furnished to a high standard and the beds (2 ground floor) are extremely comfortable. The downstairs double is the smallest of the 4 bedrooms, but my husband and I opted to sleep in this room because of it's close proximity to the downstairs bathroom and the fact that we are short and it has quite a low doorway, my brother-in-law is tall, so in order to avoid any headbumps, had the master. All the interior doors are beautiful and really enhance the property. We preferred to eat out, so did very little in the kitchen other than cups of tea and cereal, that said, looking at what was available, the kitchen is very well stocked. The settees in the lounge are very comfortable, Wi-Fi excellent and good tv reception. The outside area is spacious and an asset if you have children. Negatives - It should be made clearer in the property's description that there is another cottage directly opposite, about 20 feet. We were surprised, but it didn't affect our stay; the other guests were lovely, but a loud and boisterous group would not have been fun. It is very clear that much hard work and effort has been spent making this a beautiful holiday accommodation, but sadly one thing lets it down - damp. There is an obvious issue in the bathroom, possibly a leak from the shower (the wall is actually wet to the touch and paint falling off) and in several places on the ground floor, the plaster is coming away from the wall. You can also see where mould has previously been on some walls and cleaned off or painted over. Some of this issue may be condensation, caused when the property is left unoccupied for periods of time with no ventilation? Heating the property helped with the smell and feel of damp, but obviously we did not want to leave it on when we were not there. Either way, in order for this beautiful lodge to be the first class property it deserves, this issue needs to be addressed.
