We did have a problem with a leaking cistern in the family bathroom, this was dealt with very swiftly when we contacted the owner. Over all a very nice property had a great stay.

...only not to this specific lodge!! Cobwebs draping from ceilings, chocolate & crisp wrappers under the bed. The windows were smeared with finger/hand prints & corners full of cobwebs & dust & none of the bathroom windows closed as wood has swollen.The mattress was comfy but pillows were so flat we needed 4 each so had to take from other beds. Lodge accommodates 6 & there were only 2 of us so that was OK. The whole lodge is need of updating as quite shabby & furniture very dated The decking & area surrounding hot tub are in need of up grading as very dated with all paint flaking off
