Nice clean lodge with everything you need

We would have to be very picky to fault the lodge. One of the armchairs was a bit uncomfortable. Soap, shampoo, body wash, washing up liquid and a dishwasher tablet are all provided so we only needed kitchen foil and kitchen roll. Also enough teabags and coffee sachets for 4 cups.We travelled with another couple who also had a Hazel 3 and they found very little to fault as well.
