Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge received high praise for cleanliness, with guests noting it was beautifully clean upon arrival. This indicates a well-maintained property.
The location is described as lovely, with an amazing view and a beautiful setting, suggesting a high level of satisfaction among guests.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with the lodge being described as clean and comfortable. However, one guest mentioned the shower was not very powerful, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are appreciated, especially the hot tub, but some issues like a broken hot tub and minor electrical problems have been reported. The staff's prompt response to issues prevents a lower score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Could have done with a doormat inside, not just outside, and lacked the flame effect fire in the property description, which would have added a warmer feel and focal point. That said, really very minor points, we will definitely be going back.

Our whole search focussed on having somewhere to stay with a hot tub. The hot tub in our lodge was broken as we did not get to use it at all. We were offered the use of one in a lodge up the dark hill. Did they really want us to traipse up there in towels and swims and then walk back wet? We therefore did not get the break we booked. Disappointing.

Hot tub is a great addition. Outside space and facilities great. Outside balcony space perfect for morning coffee with an amazing view. Had a lovely stay. Thank you!
