Never had this problem with a hot tub at a lodge before.

The disappointing side was that we were woken up each day by either the workmen that were working on the Reservoir next to the lodges or a lot of activity on site (bins being emptied, dogs barking, chainsaw etc.). We went out during the day to avoid the noise, but we would have appreciated to be told about the workmen prior to arriving.

We will certainly be looking to return in the future. The only one suggestion we had is it would be nice to have a couple of coat hooks but thatâs just being picky. Absolutely 5 stars and would recommend to anyone!
