Guests say
Guests are generally delighted with the lodge, praising its cleanliness, tranquil setting, and homely feel. The private spa facilities, including a sauna and hot tub, are frequently highlighted as highlights, offering relaxation with pets in tow. The cinema room and roof terrace add to the comfort, and the property's privacy and views are appreciated. However, there are mentions of maintenance issues, particularly with the spa bath jets releasing debris.
The lodge is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition upon arrival. However, there are repeated mentions of black debris from the spa bath jets, which slightly mar the overall impression of cleanliness.
While guests find the setting tranquil and the views scenic, there is insufficient detail to accurately assess the location in relation to amenities, attractions, or ease of access.
Comfort is a strong point for this lodge, with guests finding it cosy, well-equipped, and providing a homely atmosphere. The spacious bed and private garden are also noted for adding to the comfort level.
Facilities like the cinema room, sauna, and jacuzzi bath are highly praised, but the recurring issue with the spa bath jets and minor maintenance concerns, such as the heated floor not working and lighting issues, affect the score.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the property owners or managers. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Such a beautiful, well kept and tidy place, easy to find yet perfect balance of privacy too. Everything was squeaky clean and for the price we had paid, we were welcomed with a lot more than we had bargained for. Beautiful location as well, not very far from many different activities and wonderful country walks, would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. Not a single complaint here from me. Also reception is very helpful and kind, Sally made sure we were checked in and that there wasnât a problem with anything at all, so a very warm welcome and peace of mind as to who we could talk to incase of any problems.
