Guests that stayed at this property said
Cleanliness is a recurring concern among guests, with several mentioning dust, cobwebs, and a general need for a more thorough cleaning. The presence of dirt and odour has detracted from the experience for some visitors.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its quiet, woodland setting, offering a serene environment and proximity to nature. Guests appreciate the peaceful surroundings and the opportunity for a relaxing break.
Comfort receives mixed reviews; while some guests find the lodge cosy and the beds comfortable, others mention issues with bed comfort and a musty smell in wardrobes. The tranquility of the location contributes positively to the comfort level.
Facilities like the sauna and whirlpool bath are highlights, but maintenance issues are noted, including problems with the shower pressure, worn furnishings, and the need for updates. The lack of Wi-Fi and some basic amenities has been a drawback for some guests.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the host. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

The rooms are a good size, having a sauna and whirlpool bath is a real treat. The location is perfect for visiting the area and it's a nice peaceful site. BUT...it needs some maintenance!! Firstly, the shower was just a dribble, you could get wetter standing out in the rain, the carpet was badly stained,( maybe wooden flooring would be more practical), the oven was disgusting with grease, the windows were so dirty it spoilt the view, the cutlery drawer was grubby with bits of food in, the kitchen cupboards were the same, the wooden trim around the bath was black and there was a strange smell. Outside could do with looking at too not kept up together as other properties on site. We had to stay as we had booked a few attractions and didn't want to lose our money. We should've had family joining us later in the week but cancelled them as we left a few days early. We contacted Sykes regarding the issues they were apologetic but it did take from 2nd Oct to 4th for In Property Team to get back to us, so in the meantime we had replaced the showerhead and bought air freshener. We had read the reviews before and seen there were some issues, but they have obviously not been addressed.
