The lodge was clean and tidy all the facilities are there but we were very disappointed to fine that the carpet in the living area had been removed and the floor was just grey stone tiling which made the room look very cold and uninviting which in our opinion is not a luxury lodge shelf needed in shower for gel and shampoo and bedroom curtains should be thicker or have blackout blinds
