Guests say
Gutherscale Lodge is praised for its excellent location, ideal for mountain biking, hiking, and walking, with many trails accessible directly from the property. The house is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and offers comfortable accommodation with stunning views. Guests appreciate the outdoor patio and the Boot Room.
The property generally seems well-maintained, though there are isolated comments about cleanliness issues such as a greasy grill pan and the need to empty a dishwasher upon arrival.
The location is consistently lauded for its proximity to walking trails and the natural beauty of the surroundings, making it a fantastic choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
While the house is found to be generally comfortable, several guests mention that the sofas and mattresses could benefit from updating, as they are either low, uncomfortable, or creaky.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests appreciate features like the ability to have groceries delivered. However, there are suggestions for maintenance, such as replacing sofas, mattresses, and addressing stiff windows.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
