We enjoyed the week at a Lula lodge, great location for strolls down to the park or over to the cotton marsh’s and visitor centre. Plenty to do and enjoy in surrounding area.The lodge was well equipped in the kitchen, had everything you needed, the beds were comfortable, lounge seating could be better.The basic cleaning was done but areas like grout,and bottom of shower door etc had black mould ( now cleaned off mostly) skirting etc just needed wiping down, &I did get a full cylinder of dust dirt in the Hoover.The pool is good but you are charged £5.50 per swim, and you can only go at certain times because of children and baby sessions. The site is very well maintained, i regularly saw groundsmen out sweeping up, cutting grass areas and carrying out path maintenance during stay.
