Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge receives high marks for cleanliness, with numerous reviews mentioning it being spotless and well-maintained. A few isolated comments about the hot tub and kitchen items slightly affect the score.
The location is described as peaceful and perfect for relaxation, with easy access to local attractions. The need for a car due to the remote setting is noted, but does not detract significantly from the positive feedback.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests finding the lodge homely and the beds extremely comfortable. The spacious layout and quiet surroundings contribute to a relaxing stay.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the hot tub. However, some concerns over WiFi quality and maintenance issues like shower heads and cleanliness of the hot tub lead to a slightly lower score.
While many reviews express appreciation for the lodge's amenities and the owner's helpfulness, there is no specific mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

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.
