Guests say
Mulberry Lodge offers a comfortable stay in a quiet site with well-equipped interiors and comfy beds. Some guests experienced challenges with locating the lodge and suggested clearer instructions would be beneficial. While the interior cleanliness generally meets expectations, the exterior and maintenance aspects could be improved.
The interior of the lodge is considered clean by some guests, but several reviews mention the need for exterior cleaning and better upkeep. Issues such as dirty windows, cobwebs, and a general shabby appearance compared to nearby lodges have been noted.
There is insufficient information to accurately score the location as the reviews focus on the difficulty in finding the property rather than the location's qualities or amenities.
Guests have found their stay comfortable overall, with positive remarks about the size of the lodge and the comfort of the beds. However, some minor issues were raised regarding seating arrangements and the number of showers for the number of guests.
The lodge is well-equipped but has several maintenance issues that need addressing, such as a non-functioning dishwasher, slow-draining shower, and loose toilet seats. Some kitchen equipment also needs replacing.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so this category cannot be scored.

From qhne you turn up the outside of the property is in poor condition, the bottom of the front door frame is broken, the internal walls have a fair few marks and scrapes. The windows were filthy and covered in cobwebs all round outside. I gave all the outside of windows a clean with what was there so not perfect but could clearly see through them after. The outside broom broke when i tried to sweep outside as its weak/ rotten wood. It's a shame because it's a nice property on a nice site. I couldn't get hold of sykes cottages to report the state of repair upon arrival, no inventory no guest book, no welcome/info pack.

Apart from the shower maybe petty things but would make a difference. As an observation the front of the lodge could do with washing down. But overall very comfortable stay and would be happy to recommend!

The windows were dirty and the lodge was covered in cobwebs and looking shabby against other nearby lodges. Some of the kitchen equipment needs replacing, chipped/cracked crockery and mismatched cutlery etc.
