We could not locate any details of the WiFi and had to call up to get these. There was an issue with a couple of leaks in the roof during periods of heavy rain which had been reported previously. A better sofa would make the stay more comfortable and a supply of light bulbs would be useful for when needed. On the whole, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lake View Lodge.

. The lodge is listed as 5 "ticks", I'm not sure how this is derived, but there was a lot of issues we encountered, firstly there was no information pack about WiFi, heating controls etc. Also, the extractor fan in the shower room didn't work and it was EXTREMELY dirty, there was cobwebs all around the ceilings which had captured "daddy longlegs", the roof leaked on to the wood burning stove and between the breakfast bar and sofa when it rained, there was a lot of grease splashes on the wall to either side of the hob. The outside table and chairs were VERY dirty and the overhanging roof soffit where you sit outside was again VERY dirty and needs brushing down. I have photos which I will share on an email as I also have a query regarding the price we paid (£882.00) for a week in September when it's £706.00 for the same week next year, and it was going to be £574.00 for the same week last year which we had to postpone......
