Some reviews i read about this place had me worried before we turned up, but in reality for what we paid i thought it was fine, the pod was very basic, but it had the essentials, it was also warm enough. Could repairs have been to a better standard? Could we have had a frying pan? Yes and yes. But again paid a basic price and got a basic accommodation

Lodge and hot tub were clean but other than that there was zero finesse in the lodge. Lack of kitchen items, no chopping board, one tray and minimal utensils. Freezer drawers didn’t open, kitchen tap very loose. Cracked mirror and lots of chipping paint in bathroom. Tv squint on wall. Really poor finish and presentation. We were very disappointed compared to other places we have stayed.
