Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews indicate a mix of experiences regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the lodge to be clean and well-kept, while others reported issues with dust, cobwebs, and general upkeep. The presence of both positive and negative feedback suggests an average level of cleanliness, with room for improvement.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its quietness, proximity to the beach, and the surrounding wildlife. It is situated in a peaceful part of the park, away from the main site areas, which guests found ideal for a tranquil retreat.
Comfort levels received mixed reviews. While some guests found the lodge comfortable and the beds satisfactory, others mentioned that the mattresses, sofas, and outdoor furniture were tired and in need of replacement. The overall sentiment is that the lodge offers reasonable comfort with some areas needing attention.
Facilities and maintenance feedback is varied. Guests appreciated the well-equipped lodge and the park's amenities, but also reported minor maintenance issues such as problematic washing machines, missing light bulbs, and worn furniture. The lodge seems to offer good facilities, but maintenance is an area that could be enhanced.
Several reviews mention thoughtful touches like the provision of cleaning supplies, kitchen essentials, and games for children. While these added extras were appreciated, it is important to note that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary with each stay.

However at first sight you could see the lodge was very tied and in desperate need of TLC, cheap plastic chairs and a paste table on what could be a great veranda area (glad we did not have the weather to want and sit out there). On entering met with a stale smell of dogs. The lodge was very dated and again TLC was needed, but it was clean and we were left tea, coffee and milk which was a lovely surprise. The first thing I noticed was no welcome folder, with information on the lodge, information about the site and local areas, departure procedure which was a shame. Small tv in the lodge, the towels although plentiful was ok if you were a small child. The bed linen and towels could do with renewing as thin and bobbly, the mattress in the master room so bad that my husband had to go to another room, definitely needs renewing. The lodge despite the above comment was spacious, but would not stay again because so dated and tired, shame all can be rectified quite cheaply to bring it back to life.

The chalet is situated in a nice location on the holiday park. It has a nice end pitch great parking and space around it. It is a short walk to the beach, and there is a lot to explore in the area. But the property isnt clean, it feels like the property hasnt seen much care and attention in at least 10 or 20 years, someone is just milking it for the most profits. The gutter leaks right above the front door giving you a shower as you leave the property. Perhaps because the property is shut up for so long it smells and is hard to shift. The sofas on arrival had biscuit crumbs on them and underneath them is yucky (had to retrieve bits of lego). The bed linen is old and worn. The carpets are sticky to walk on, and when brushing up crumbs from our 5 year off the carpet the mess and dog hair that came up with it was incredible. At the price and rating of the property on the Sykes website, expected better.
