Guests say
Guests have praised the lodge for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and the addition of a hot tub, which adds a touch of luxury. The lodge's peaceful location and proximity to local attractions are appreciated, as is the thoughtful gesture of a welcome drink. Some minor issues were noted with comfort and facilities, but overall, the lodge offers a delightful stay.
The lodge is generally described as clean and immaculate, with particular mention of its suitability for a crawling baby. However, some guests noted dust under furniture and the presence of hairs, slightly lowering the score.
The lodge's location is praised for being peaceful and close to nature reserves and local amenities, making it an ideal spot for a relaxing break.
While the lodge is seen as modern and comfortable, there are complaints about an uncomfortable mattress and issues with adjusting the heating, which affects the comfort score.
Facilities like the hot tub are highly regarded, but some guests missed a dishwasher and found the fridge too small. There were also minor issues with WiFi and toilet seats, indicating room for improvement.
The mention of a welcome drink suggests thoughtfulness, but as it is not clear if this is a consistent offering for all guests, it is not possible to accurately score this category.

Very clean and well maintained. It was quite cold when we arrived on the Friday, but this was resolved promptly, although we were not told about the switch for the heated towel rails. These were needed as we used the hot tub and needed them to dry our towels and swimwear, because there are no radiators. 2 negatives, a dishwasher would have been far more useful than a washing machine, as we didn't use it, but did a lot of washing up. Also the fridge is far too small for 6 people and the ice box tiny. Despite this we had a great weekend

Further into the week I started to find long black hairs on the bedding and floor (I have blonde hair). The hot tub did not have any cleaning during our stay i am not sure if this is the norm as other places I have stayed with a hot tub it gets chemicals added and cleaned daily. Other than that everything else was very clean tidy and it was a lovely quiet place to stay. We have a teenager toddler and a 7 week old baby so was worrying about leaving the lodge on time we didnât feel rushed to do so by the cleaning staff as they started at the other end. All in all I would recommend

The WiFi did struggle at times when trying to watch the TV. We had a great stay and would definitely come back.
