It's true that the outside furniture needs some maintenance. However, this won't stop you from having a great time. The outside space is huge, we played golf and football and the lakes, nothing you need more if you like fishing. Thank you, we had a great time.
Maria
Overall a very nice area with complete peace. Thank you. The only thing i would recommed is some new outdoor furniture, only because all the trees etc are staining the cushions and plastic chairs.

The surroundings are truly beautiful and the lodge itself is so quaint and cosy. It is clear that a lot of effort goes into making each visitor feel welcome. Our only suggestion would be that the lodge feels like it needs a bit of TLC. The steps leading up to the door were very spongy and slippery, the shower was hit and miss as to whether it was warm enough and powerful enough and there werenât really enough mugs and plates etc. These things didnât detract from our enjoyment, they were just a bit inconvenient. It would also be great if there were some walking routes and places to visit suggested in the info folder. We are very likely to return and would certainly recommend to others.
