The lodge is generally considered comfortable, with special mentions of good sleep quality and a warm atmosphere. However, some guests felt the furnishing was sparse, which slightly impacts the comfort score.
While the property is well-equipped for most, there are comments about the lack of large pans and sufficient cookware for larger groups. The suggestion of adding a light in the garage also indicates room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

Beautiful house, plenty of space, modern and best of all, was exactly as was advertised on webpage. Would definitely go back. Pool table, dart board in garage a nice extra touch. Maybe put a light in garage would be a suggestion, but overall, it was perfect. Thanks for a great holiday.

The leg of the bed (it's curved) right inside the door of the twin-bedded room is positioned rather precariously, I tripped over it and fell forward, causing bruising to a toe.

Could be an amazing house with a bit of TLC and we felt communication could be improved, maybe an information pack about bin collection, hot water etc would be helpful. In saying all this we still had a brilliant time away.
