Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge receives high commendation for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its spotless condition. One review noted issues with the hot tub cleanliness, but this appears to be an isolated incident.
The location is described as peaceful and great for a relaxing holiday, with easy access to local attractions and the convenience of nearby towns. However, a few guests mentioned the necessity of having a car for trips out, indicating a slightly remote location.
Many reviews highlight the lodge's comfort, noting the quality of furnishings and the homely feel. The presence of a hot tub and the lodge's spaciousness contribute to the overall comfort experienced by guests.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub and well-equipped kitchen. Some minor maintenance issues are mentioned, such as a shower head spraying water and a squeaking sound in the shower, which slightly affect the score.
Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches like flip flops for the hot tub and dishwasher tablets. While these gestures are well-received, it is important to note that such extras are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

We re-packed the car and left. This property is not as advertised. The level of finish is poor inside and out. The decking was tired and worn. The bathroom and toilet floors are carpeted - even around the toilet itself! (I know!) The oven shelf had some old, baked-on food on it. There was an usual smell throughout the property. I would not recommend it to anyone.
