Lodge was tired and some parts needed updating. Bed was very uncomfortable, noisy and moved when you moved, did not sleep well. Click plugs were missing in bathroom. Only overhead shower worked, couldn’t switch it to other. Decking was filthy and the furniture was battered, filthy and had holes in them. There were no walks from the site as it was fenced off, very disappointing. Fridge was too warm, milk went off, door storage was missing. Overall standard very poor. Didn’t use cooker or dishwasher.
