Rick
Appreciated the good WiFi and smart tv but would have liked a small TV in the main bedroom. Lack of information regarding operating kitchen appliances and heating but managed OK, and would have liked some details of local eating places and takeaways. We appreciated the good size bath and excellent shower in the ensuite. A lamp in the living room would have been nice as we prefer subdued lighting in the evening but we just unscrewed some of the bulbs in the wall lights. One of the bedside lights didn't work which was a bit annoying, but these are minor issues. A very comfortable lodge and would definitely stay again.

Well equipped and clean. . For our party it would have been nice to have a zip lock double rather than the twins and a mirror in that room as well. We would recommend and would return in the future.
