The private veranda and attention to detail are frequently mentioned, contributing to a relaxing stay despite some mentions of road noise.
Reviewers consistently note the lodge as 'spotlessly clean', 'extremely clean and tidy', and 'very clean and comfortable', indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The central location is appreciated for sightseeing and accessibility to local areas, though some guests mention road noise from nearby roads. The location's convenience for exploring surrounding beauty spots is a highlight.
The lodge is described as 'homely', 'comfortable', and 'cozy', with comfortable beds and a warm atmosphere. The private veranda adds to the comfort, although one mention of a lack of privacy at night suggests a minor issue.

This was not a day old leaves etc as there were cobwebs all around the veranda rail and the furniture. I think that a curtain or similar across the main door would give privacy at night when wearing night attire in the kitchen area. You are visible to next door. Otherwise the accommodation was very good and as the description on Sykes website.
