The lodge is generally well-equipped, but some guests felt it lacked certain amenities like an iron or a toaster. The shower temperature and the absence of WiFi were noted, but the inclusion of a well-functioning kitchen and the provision of games and DVDs were positives.
Many guests mentioned the thoughtfulness of the hosts, including welcoming touches like setting up the fire, leaving milk in the fridge, and providing homemade cheeses. While these gestures are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches may vary and are not guaranteed.
