Claire
Overall very disappointed this time. The luxury lodge that we had stayed in before was sadly now looking like it was in need of some tlc and repair work mainly to the living and dining area and the patio doors. Sorry love piren meadows but disappointed with accommodation this time. Even through it was meant to be a premier

The lodge was very roomy & comfortable. It was situated on the end of a small close & we had plenty of outside space. Also we only had a short walk to the resort facilities. Also the particulars do not altogether make it clear - but there are 3 toilets plus also TV's in each bedroom.On the negative & has been noted by others, the lodge is beginning to show its age a bit with some wear & tear, but minor. Also as others have commented, there are no drawer units in the bedrooms, but this did not cause us any problems, the 2 main ones are quite spacious in comparison to others that we have stayed at.
