Pictures are pretty similar to the lodge and the surrounding area where the lodges are located is lovely. You are more or les on the golf course and the receptionist was extremely nice. However the biggest downfall was the cleanlines of the lodge - there was an infestation clearly of ladybugs which were all acros the windows and on the carpet in the corners but which looked as though has been there for weeks on end. The carpet was filthy and it was clear it had not been hoovered by housekeeping. Not even salt pepper or oil are supplied unles the previous residents have left it (which we did) and overall it was a disappointing stay. The hot tub also only has one temp and it wasnt near enough as hot as we wouldve liked considering its October. The only pros were that it was actually quite spacious and about a 5 min drive away is a local town for shopping.
