Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently praise the lodge for its cleanliness, noting that both the lodge and the surrounding areas are well-kept. The hot tub receives daily cleaning, further contributing to the overall cleanliness of the property.
The lodge's location is frequently commended for being quiet and close to local attractions, including beaches and historical sites. Its setting provides privacy and is well set back from the road, minimising noise.
Comfort is a strong point for Ash Lodge, with guests finding the beds comfortable and the lodge spacious enough for large groups. The separate upstairs and downstairs living areas are appreciated for family stays.
Facilities are highly regarded, with the hot tub being a standout feature. The lodge is well-equipped, although a few minor suggestions for additional items like tumblers and chopping boards are made. The mention of a non-functional dishwasher indicates room for improvement.
While guests express gratitude for the helpfulness of the staff and the owner's responsiveness, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.
