Lovely spacious & comfortable lodge, setting is peaceful and relaxing surrounded by trees.Very comfortable stay and would highly recommend, brilliant value for money, we will be booking to stay again. Lodge 1 👌 Only a couple of things for the owners for possible improvements:- More crockery would be helpful.- Use ‘sticky stuff remover’ for where I assume rugs used to be.- External area: remove cobwebs specifically from windows and power washing the decking would make a huge difference to the aesthetic.- A good scrub of the hot tub.None of the above affected our stay negatively but some simple things which could make a positive difference.

Although I will bring up a few negatives we loved our stay at Luxury Lodge 1!As other reviews said the postcode in sat nav does not take you to the correct location so you are better to type in Ladera Lodges.Self check in where we were provided the information need to gain access which was great for us and proved be very easy.We knew what to expect after reading other reviews so no surprises, this would have been Luxury at one point and it would not take much inside to bring it back up to a high standard, some of the soft furnishings do need replaced, a couple of rugs and cushions is all that would be needed, the rugs were curling and could be a trip hazard. Outside is a bit trickier as you are fighting nature but the glass could do with a clean and the wood could be painted, some of the deck is rotting and actually very slippy as it has not been treated with non slip paint or even power washed, it looks like nothing like that has been done in years.I know cleaners don’t get allocated much time but a deeper clean in showers needed, I myself bleached inside cubicle for ten minutes and the build up showered away so why can’t the cleaner do this first before doing anything else then go back to rinse also wipe the skirting boards and hoovering the cobwebs from velux windows?A sweeping brush for inside (we couldn’t get the vacuum to work) and outside should be available for use should guests feel the need and a net for scooping out leaves etc from hot tub.For the prices paid for a weeks stay I don’t see how keeping on top off deep cleaning and deteriorating items cannot be achieved.The park was lovely and Luxury Lodge number 1 for us was in the best location for peace and privacy.
