Returning from days out we were greeted with this smell. Looking around the lodge we found the main bathroom toilet wasn't fixed; so moved when sat on. The 'jacuzzi' bath although still advertised has been replaced with a standard style tub. The basin drawer didn't close properly, along with 3 of the kitchen doors also. The floor in the kitchen has water damage and sinks when walked on, same in the bathroom. My wife freaked out when she found previous occupants hair in the bedroom drawers, and on the window sill. This combined with the smell made us feel dirty throughout our stay, so much so we left a few days early. The lodge can be described as 'tired'. We feel the advert photo's need updating to reflect its current appearance, inside and out as much has changed. The wifi is weak, drops out often and can't be used with the smart tv. The park itself is very nice, with great views, and access to the lake, with a nice bar grill onsite. A great base for exploring the area.

Very comfortable and clean lodge with big decking area which sadly we didn't get to use due to the rain. Despite our conversation, a plumber didn't attend to fix the non flushing toilet, we kept putting the clips back on inside to enable it to flush but looking at previous reviews this is an ongoing issue. More cutlery and crockery are needed as 6 plates/forks etc isn't enough if some are in the dishwasher. Poor Wifi.
