Key safe wouldn't open, had to fetch maintenance to get us in. Main bed mattress was stained and grubby, toilet seat loose, 2 cupboard panels cracked, food left in fridge and freezer and main television had a life of its own eg not switching on, then when on not changing channels, reported this 2 or 3 times and maintenance came to sort it, but still the same. All these been reported before, nothing done. Also net curtains across patio doors ripped in places and roughly sown in others, there was also a pile of external cushions and parasol stacked in corner of lounge. The last 2 complaints not previously reported. It may seem I am nitpicking but we have been 3 times in last 2 years to this lodge and given glowing reviews but not this time. Left early and will not be returning.

Only 1 bedroom tv worked so we didn't bother. Lights flickered in lounge, drove us crazy} kitchen lights not all working. Spiders and cobwebs all over (had to get rid of those!) One even joined us on the sofa!The main problem was being unable to contact either Sykes or the owner. Anyway we did really enjoy the week and would return, this time prepared for the faults!!

Is it a VERY lovely accomodation, spacious, very well equipped and in a wonderful & peaceful location but near enough the main facilities. I went with my Daughter, her partner and their two children and we ALL recommend Rodley Pines. We will definately stay again next year.
