Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the lodge to be clean and comfortable. However, a few noted that the cleaning could be more thorough, especially behind doors and on towel rails. The lodge was described as 'spotless' by one reviewer, but others suggested that the level of cleanliness did not meet their expectations, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The lodge's location is highly praised for its beauty and tranquillity. Guests appreciated the proximity to local attractions and the convenience of having a pub nearby. The scenic views and opportunities for walks and paddling in the river contributed to the positive feedback on the lodge's location.
Guests have consistently remarked on the comfort of the beds and settees, as well as the cosy and homely atmosphere of the lodge. The property provided a comfortable stay, with many guests finding it a perfect place to relax.
The lodge is well-equipped, but some guests encountered issues with maintenance, such as non-working lights and a lack of spare bulbs or batteries. The absence of a washing machine, despite being advertised, and unreliable WiFi were also points of concern. Overall, the facilities met the needs of most guests, but there is room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness of the property based on the available information.

. The site was quiet. The accommodation was very clean and had a really nice shower. We liked the fact that no pets were allowed.
