Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews indicate a generally satisfactory level of cleanliness, with some guests finding the lodges clean and tidy. However, there are several mentions of specific cleanliness issues such as hair on furniture, dirty carpets, and a need for deep cleaning in certain areas. These instances suggest room for improvement.

Most guests find the lodges comfortable, with good facilities and space for pets to roam. However, some guests mention uncomfortable mattresses and a lack of airflow in bedrooms, which affects the overall comfort score.
Facilities like the indoor swimming pool, gym, and on-site restaurant are appreciated, but there are comments about the need for maintenance, such as fixing leaky showers and updating kitchen appliances. The presence of a leisure village with various amenities contributes positively to this score.

The lodge itself needs updated inside with paint and plaster. The couches are extremely uncomfortable and the carpets need redone. The main bathroom was lovely buy the en sweet had some sort of vermin living under the foor. The main bedroom is too small with little air flow when it gets too hot. When we arrived we were told to wait at the barrier until another person came through from the other side. This is far from ideal as we waited 20 minutes. There needs to be a better system for this. The porch area is lovely, the decor although needing an update is lovely. The utensils were all dirty from a previous owner I'm guessing. The opportunity to walk around the site as we please is awesome. The bar/restaurant staff were lovely but making people pay more for a meal outdoors is scummy.

I feel the cleaning you provide is superficial. It's OK asking your guests to practically clean the lodge before they leave, but the people who you pay to clean the lodge are depending on previous guests cleaning properly. Our lodge was grubby on arrival. The kitchen cupboards had crumbs in, and remnants of dog treats. I had to wash the crockery before we could use it and I had to put the oven racks in the dishwasher as they were thick with grease. The oven could also do with a deep clean. I draw the line at that Iam afraid. Also, remnants of personal hygiene items in the bathroom cupboards. Obviously not been cleaned. I went to use the hoover and the barrel hadn't been emptied so it wasn't picking up. Again, Iam not starting emptying dirty hoovers which should have been done by the people you are paying to do a job. We would always leave a property as we find it but, in this case, you will be glad, we didn't. It's cleaner? I understand you have to take a damage deposited in case of damages but I think you should be offering us compensation if anything. I would appreciate a response to this email.
