Malcolm

One of the best equipped and maintained lodges we have stayed in. We will certainly try to make a return visit. The early set back with Sykes failing to contact the owner about a one day change of booking date did not detract from our short stay in this delightful lodge in such beautiful surroundings. Thank you Gary for taking the time to check we had everything needed.

The property was clean and well appointed. It was in a nice quiet area. All the people on the site were very friendly. Giving us a really good holiday.

Really nice lodge, very comfortable, open plan so no one left out when cooking. Very quiet which we enjoyed, only downside was the weather, but cant control that. Will definitely book again.

The lodge was beautiful, very clean and cozy. We found everything we needed. My only observation was the lights on the back were the hot tub was, we couldn't see where they turned on. But other than this was a great stay and would come back again and recommend it.

Had a lovely stay, very clean and all amenities we needed. Host was very helpful and friendly . Will visit again in the future.

We didn't stay even for the first night. We repacked the car and left. This property is not as advertised. The level of finish is poor inside and out. The decking was tired and worn. The bathroom and toilet floors are carpeted even around the toilet itself! I know! The oven shelf had some old, bakedon food on it. There was an usual smell throughout the property. I would not recommend it to anyone.

Can't fault it, we had a lovely chilled out weekend. Clean and tidy, hot tub was a bonus thanks

Stuart

Jennifer

Beautiful holiday park and lodge away from the hustle and bustle of towns but not too far away for you to venture into. When we arrived the lodge it was spotlessly clean and warm. It had everything you needed apart from no teacoffee but that was soon rectified by a nip to the shop. The welcome book states the thermostat is in the hallway but I think the owners must have updated the boiler as I noticed a hive thermostat next to the sofa. We were unable to change the temperature of the lodge as it was pin protected. It was lovely and snug at night but by morning it was a little chilly nothing a cup of tea couldnt sort. The hot tub at the back of the lodge was an added bonus after walking and exploring all day.
