Gabriella
There was however a few minor issues but they didnât really affect us as a family. There was lots of dusty cobwebs, a broken shaving light in the en suite and a build up of blackish scum in the shower on the tiles. There was no welcome pack which we are normally used to (luckily we have been to the park before), just a WiFi password on a bit of paper on the mantle piece which next to it was a half chewed dog treat which Iâm guessing the cleaner mistaken as a stone. The decking was extremely slippery and although there were signs for this it was dangerously slippery from what look like a build up on it. However the location was perfect, very quiet and close to nature walk and fishing lake which was amazing. The beds were super comfy and it was so helpful having a dishwasher and a washing machine. The lodge was bigger than we expected from the photos which was a bonus! We had a brilliant holiday and we would definitely stay again.

The lodge is situated in a peaceful and quiet area of the park, 10 minutes walk to the beach and 5 mins from a woodland walk. Was clean and tidy with plenty of space to relax. A few niggles, no welcome pack left which we normally expect eg details about the park, emergency contact numbers etc. The oven didnât turn on and no booklet found. Besides that we enjoyed our time and would return.
