i read some previous reviews and people had made a comment of the stiffness of one of the doors to the balcony area, this should have been fixed after the first remark about it.the right window in the kitchen area could not be opened for some reason. this need to be fixed and not a label saying not working.the wooden table on the balcony needs to be cleaned it looked a mess,the glass shelter panel by the back door needs cleaning, and all the hedges need to be cut back,if your not one of the lucky ones to have a parking spot then its a gruesome walk for some people up that hill to the overflow parking. don't get me wrong the lodge is really nice.but it could have been awesome if the little things were taken care of.

Welcome gifts were a nice touch. Comfortable beds. Good WIFI connection, and Netflix was a great bonus. Breakfast on the balcony was so nice and peaceful. Great place to return to after your day out. The hosts Paul and Rita are very helpful. Good stocked shop on site and the pub serves great food. Book early for the Sunday lunch.

An ideal location for accessing tourist attractions on both the north and south coast without too much travelling or equally ideal for relaxing without going out. The accommodation is of a high standard and feels like home from home.
