The lodge was very clean and exceeded our expectations. It was well equipped with all that you need. The clubhouse has nightly entertainment and serves some nice food all day . If you don't want to cook there's plenty of pubs around that serves good food ( recommend Hare and Hounds at Sway for Sunday lunch). The local area is amazing and the ponies and cows just roam around ( we even came across a donkey blocking the road and wouldn't move). Overall I would recommend Olive Lodge for all wishing a great relaxed break from the hustle and bustle. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

The Chalet is pleasant to stay in and comfortable however the passageway leading from the main living area to the bedrooms/bathrooms is very narrow so that we repeatedly knocked our arms on the door handles as we passed, my suitcase only just fitted in the width of it. It was reasonably well equipped though on looking for a cheese grater there was none so I bought a cheep one, everything else was good with enough oven trays etc. The fact that we did not have our own parking space made things more difficult as we could not park next to the property and on occasions struggled to find a space. There is enough room at the side of each chalet but it is grassed and parking on this is not allowed. I struggled to connect to the wi fi and contacted reception, a man came and did something in the box outside and the wi fi was good afterwards, We enjoyed a good holiday and the lodge is a very pleasant one to stay in for a holiday.
