Guests that stayed at this property said

The lodge generally receives praise for its cleanliness, but there are several mentions of specific cleanliness issues such as unclean floors, stained furniture, and unattended rubbish. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.

The location is highly regarded by guests for its proximity to local attractions and the ease of exploring nearby towns. However, some guests noted difficulty in finding the lodge due to poor signage.

Guests find the lodge spacious and the beds comfortable. There are some concerns about the boiler affecting hot water and heating, which impacts the overall comfort during the stay.

Facilities like the hot tub and outdoor furniture are appreciated, but recurring boiler issues and maintenance concerns, such as the need for better signage and unreliable Wi-Fi, have been noted by several guests.

There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

    Some of the rings on hob not working to their best (may need servicing). Shower and bath need attention (a little grubby) Windows were in need of cleaning inside. Minimal kitchen equipment but didn’t affect our cooking needs. Positive was we had an issue with bedding which was dealt with very quickly and hot tub was checked daily

  • Laura

    Very tired and unclean, stains on the walls in the kitchen (looks like coffee) when we arrived, black mould on the shower screen, floors unclean - lots of dust and previous guests jewellery down the side of the the bedside tables. Rusty towel radiators. Wouldn’t rebook/recommend. Boiler also very temperamental.
