Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the lodge to be clean and well-maintained, with only a few mentioning issues with dead flies and cobwebs. The positive remarks on cleanliness far outweigh the negatives, indicating a high standard overall.
The lodge's location is consistently lauded for its privacy, rural setting, and proximity to local towns and scenic walks. It is described as an excellent retreat for exploring the South Downs and surrounding areas.
Guests report a very comfortable stay, with particular praise for the comfortable beds and pillows. Some guests, however, felt the space was cramped for families, and there were comments about the lack of a baby cot and wardrobe space.
The facilities, including a well-equipped kitchen and sauna, are generally appreciated. However, some guests reported issues with the cooking hob, shower door, and Wi-Fi, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance.
Many guests mention thoughtful gestures such as a welcoming cake and treats, contributing to a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It should be noted that such gifts, while appreciated, are not guaranteed for every stay.

Pat
Had to get to the property through a muddy paddock, which I know is due to the wettest February on record, but there was no decent doormat for muddy boots and no floor cleaning equipment. This was rectified when we phoned the owners, but felt this should already be in the property. Fire extinguisher expired in 2007 and beware if yore allergic to feathers as they were coming out of the sofa.

We were made to feel so welcome, and the owners were always on hand to answer questions. The lodge was beautifully maintained and decorated, and was full of nice little touches like Christmas decorations, a Christmas cake, and some chocolate. The heating had been put for us, so it was warm and cosy on arrival. The beds were both very comfortable, and we slept like logs! The kitchenette was well equipped and we had everything we needed to cook our Christmas dinner. It was great to have a sauna after walking around the beautiful countryside - there's plenty to do in the surrounding area too. In the winter you'll definitely need wellies though! It was the perfect choice for a peaceful getaway, and we'd definitely return. We brought our cats with us and even they seemed to love it. We so enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it.

It was not cleaned adequately, dog hairs from previous dogs and the rugs were vile. To get to the property we had to walk through a muddy paddock which shouldnât have been a problem but there was nothing to clean the floor with. The sink had a leak and was spilling water into the only cupboard where cooking utensils and cutlery was housed. All plates, cups and glasses were just left on a high shelf which I struggled to reach. We had dogs from a person tending the horses come into the âsecure âarea round the Lodge. problems were too many to put here. We were booked for a week but only stayed 4 nights. I wish I could put some positives on here but there really werenât any.
