Guests appreciate the clean interiors and the tranquil environment, though some have noted the need for more kitchenware. The lodge's outdoor area and internet connectivity require attention, but the inclusion of a hot tub adds to the comfort of the experience.
The lodge is praised for its lovely and clean interiors, suggesting a high standard of cleanliness within the property.
There is insufficient information in the reviews to accurately assess the location of the property.
The lodge is described as peaceful, cosy, and beautiful, indicating a comfortable stay. However, the presence of too much chlorine in the hot tub suggests some discomfort.
While the interior decor is well-received, guests report a lack of kitchenware, poor outdoor maintenance, and unreliable Wi-Fi, indicating room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

We had a reasonable stay at Ladera Lodges over the May bank holiday. The inside of the property is very well decorated and furnished, although having the bare minimum of cutlery and crockery means you will have the dishwasher working overtime. The outside, though, leaves a lot to be desired. The outdoor furniture doesn’t look to have been cleaned in a long time, nor had the decking area. The plants outside were either dying or dead, and had obviously been neglected. The decking area in parts was covered with Astro Turf which I can only assume was due to the wood having rotted. Given the lovely weather, we were unable to spend any time outside because it was so filthy. Other issues that we encountered were:- No basic toiletries provided, no soap or hand wash even- Bleach stains on the towels - Although this may advertise WiFi, this either does not work, or barely works at best. Given you’re in an area with poor phone signal, you’re going to have a weekend in the wilderness!- Communication around safety deposit and key box access leaves a lot to be desired. Although it is stated on Hoseasons that you operate this way, to request a safety deposit paid via bank transfer 24 hours before arrival is not a great experience. The text message sent to request this had such poor spelling and grammar that we initially thought it was a scam. Then to not get a response with the keybox details for an hour after paying the deposit had already taken the shine off our weekend. All in all, lovely lodge inside, pretty poor outside, and management of property could improve!!
