Reviews frequently commend the cleanliness of The Lodge, with guests finding it well-kept and tidy. One review suggests minor improvements could be made by the cleaner, but overall, the high standard of cleanliness contributes positively to the guests' experiences.
The location is highly praised for its peacefulness, wildlife, and proximity to interesting places and amenities, despite one review mentioning it being somewhat remote. The natural setting and quiet environment are major draws for guests seeking a restful holiday.
Guests find The Lodge very comfortable and well-equipped, contributing to a relaxing stay. The property is described as homely, with a good bed and a peaceful atmosphere, allowing guests to 'chill out' and enjoy their time.
Facilities at The Lodge are generally well-received, with the property described as having everything needed for a pleasant stay. However, one review notes issues with the shower and a lack of kitchen crockery, suggesting some areas could benefit from maintenance and updates.
While many reviews mention the host's welcoming nature and the friendly visits from his dog, there are no specific references to gifts being provided. Therefore, it is not possible to score the category of thoughtfulness based on the presence of gifts, and the score is set to null.

Don and lovely Willow are perfect hosts. Everything you needed was in the lodge and nothing was too much trouble for Don if you did need anything. I will not hesitate to recommend the lodge to all my friends and family.

The owner, Mr Edwards, is a lovely, helpful man but is not into electrical things. What he thought was a charging point was an ordinary 13A 3 pin socket. Fortunately I have a slow charger with a 13A plug but of course that takes much longer to charge. Because my friend also has an electric car we ended up using one car with the one on charge all the while.
