Was as described in the listing, modern with all facilities. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We only encountered a couple of minor issues: 1) Heating upstairs - Radiators depsperately need bleeding as only the very bottom gets warm. Not ideal when is cold and windy. 2) Plug got stuck in the bath upstairs and we were unable to drain the water, leaving us unable to use the bath/shower upstairs. We would not let this affect anything to do with our break as we still had a great time and would recommend this lodge to all our friends.

The reason for low scoring on cleanliness was due to us finding dirty plates, mugs, cutlery and saucepans. The plates had food on them the mugs were stained and two had large cracks going down the side. The saucepans were black obviously been burnt whilst cooking and needed replacing. I feel from a health perspective this was not satisfactory and was not happy to have to put everything in the dishwasher before it could be used. This is not a good start to a holiday. I am assuming we pay for a cleaner within price of the holiday and this should be something they check! The helpline was a waste of time it took 4 days for someone to message back. Promised a number to call ....there was no number! Such a shame as the lodge, location/hot tub were fab. Would recommend just hope cleaning has been completed for you on your arrival.

We would most definitely come again! Could improve again with covering the hot tub and putting in some bigger beds. But other than that our stay was faultless.
