Literally the only thing we would change is the mattress in the master bedroom - entirely personal preference but it's too soft for hubby's back & he wakes up in some considerable discomfort every day - the hot tub & gorgeous area certainly helps, but it would be nice for him to get up easily & we'll rested every day! Other than that we absolutely love the lodge & have now had two wonderful holidays there x

The bed was very comfortable, what brand is the mattress? However, it was very concerning when someone just walked on to the property, up to the hot tub, with no prewarning or indication of what they were doing at 10am. Was there for about 2 minutes and went off again. Really not happy with this.
