So clean and comfortable. Unsure if hot tub was maintained daily as on listing. Say this because we didnât see anyone & couldnât fit cover properly (our fault) and it remained the same throughout our stay??. Apart from this, what a lovely home from home. Many thanks from Maggie

Hot-tub fabulous and well-maintained. Clean and tidy accommodation with plenty of kitchen equipment. Shame about the restrictions on times for using the Park's swimming pool and gym though and gym is only for over-18s. Postcode incorrect on Sykes details.

It was very clean and well looked after. The only downside to the facilities was the water temperatures in the hot tub and the ensuite shower attached to the double bedroom. The hot tub water temperature was either too cold or too hot to use it most of the time. The temperature ranged from 23 degrees to scolding hot at 41/42 degrees and could have caused serious injury to a child if they entered before the parent checked. It needs some IMMEDIATE ATTENTION from a qualified engineer The water in the en-suite shower was also too hot to stand under and adding cold water from the tap just made it go far too cold to use. We were very disappointed that we hardly used the hot tub because this was one of the main reasons we booked this lodge. Some blackout blinds are required in the bedrooms to block out the external site lights. We would go back to the lodge again if we were given assurances that the water temperatures had been rectified.
