    The hottub this year was no where near as good as the previous 2, a great trip away just disappointed as we know how good it can be

  • Janet

    Could have done with a doormat inside, not just outside, and lacked the flame effect fire in the property description, which would have added a warmer feel and focal point. That said, really very minor points, we will definitely be going back.

    Our whole search focussed on having somewhere to stay with a hot tub. The hot tub in our lodge was broken as we did not get to use it at all. We were offered the use of one in a lodge up the dark hill. Did they really want us to traipse up there in towels and swims and then walk back wet? We therefore did not get the break we booked. Disappointing.
