We will rebook for sure, but have the following suggestions to make it even better. Provide a couple of coffee tables alongside the settees as thereâs no place to put cups while seated. (We used the kitchen dustbin). Make the garden surrounding the property dog secure. (All 4 gates allow small dogs to enter and escape.) A simpler solution would be to put a gate on the stairs leading up to the lodge. This would allow dog owners to let their dogs out on the verandah with no risk of escape. As it is, we had to make a barricade with garden chairs to prevent this from happening. Consider satellite internet (Starlink?) as the current speed is next to useless. Provide J Clothes/kitchen rolls to wipe down work surfaces. We couldnât get the oven to work and there didnât appear to be any instructions. (The hob worked OK). Provide more takeaway menus if possible. The above are not criticisms, just suggestions. Best regards Andrew Barrett
