The en-suite bathroom smelled badly of damp so we barely used it. The hot tub became scummy if the jets were on high for a while which was off putting. The bedding whilst clean smelled of really scented fabric freshener which was quite overwhelming. Kitchen very well stocked with great appliances. Smart TV a great touch. We had a pleasant break.
Collette
The main issue for us was the en suite bedroom had a damp, musty smell. Looking through the comments book in the lodge this had also been mentioned previously. There were thick dog hairs on the couch where the cushions joined and at the back so hadn't been hoovered properly. First steps into the lodge were very high so not good for people with mobility issues. Apart from these issues everyone enjoyed their stay.

Kitchen is well equipped and really appreciated the added touch of clean oven glove, tea-towel, scourer and cloth left for us â¤ï¸
