Most guests found the lodges clean and tidy, but several reviews mention issues such as leftover items from previous guests, poor general cleaning, and occasional lapses in hot tub cleanliness. These concerns were not universal but were noted enough to impact the overall impression.
The location is highly praised for its peaceful, countryside setting and proximity to local villages and walking routes. Guests appreciated the quiet atmosphere and the opportunity to relax away from busy areas.
Guests generally found the lodges comfortable, with positive comments about the beds, warmth, and overall homeliness. Some mentioned minor issues such as window size and noise from hot tubs affecting light sleepers, but these did not detract significantly from the overall comfort.
Facilities such as the hot tub, kitchen, and dog-friendly amenities were frequently highlighted as excellent. A few guests noted minor maintenance needs, like sofa replacement or window improvements, but overall the facilities were well-received and contributed to enjoyable stays.
Some guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as dog beds and bowls, and helpful staff. However, as these are not guaranteed for every stay, future guests should not expect them as standard.

Ideal size of lodge for us and dogs. Hot tub area is private and fenced off which means dogs can roam safely. Really enjoyable place for a few days chill time.
