We had a wonderful stay. The caravan was comfy, beautifully clean, well stocked and very relaxing. The beds were very comfortable. It was in a lovely quiet location and good for getting to lots of places. The only thing we could recommend was a handrail on the steps into the caravan. My 78 year old mum worried about going up and down them a bit. It’s maybe a trivial matter given the caravan itself was excellent.

Had a very nice stay for the scooter rally, everything that you could need was in the caravan nicely laid out as well the only issue we had was the parking, there was building equipment and for sale caravans parked in the carpark so there was limited first come first served parking so sometimes no spaces had to park on the grass not ideal but overall had a lovely stay

Overall the lodge is value for money and was a perfect size for the 4 of us but the shower needs seriously looking at we were having cold showers most of the time and luckily the weather was hot but it is not ideal as you can't shower properly in cold water....
