The lodge is well-equipped with necessary amenities and guests appreciate the well-furnished kitchen. However, there are reports of maintenance issues such as a problematic shower, unstable dining chairs, and a malfunctioning fridge freezer, which suggest room for improvement.
Guests frequently mention the thoughtful touches provided for both humans and pets, including treats, blankets, and an informative 'Bible'. While these gifts are highly appreciated, it's important to note that such extras are subject to availability and not guaranteed.

Dawn
The beds were comfortable with good clean linen. Different patio furniture would be appreciated as the weather was not kind to us during our stay and when the sun did shine we were unable to sit outside on our patio due to there being only a wooden and uncomfortable picnic table and bench which was always too damp.

Just one problem the duvet in the main bedroom was dirty and there was black dog hair everywhere, so had to hoover when we arrived.
