Could have been 5 stars but for a couple of things, which were disappointing.First of all the location is amazing for exploring, the lodge itself is great and very comfortable with 3 decent spacious bedrooms and great views. What let it down were 1. No WiFi all week, it didn’t work at all it would flash up and disappeared and when you have a family of teenagers and have work stuff to do it was irritating and meant purchasing data packages at additional cost.2. Owner response times, first message it was over 48hrs, and had an apology that they had missed it. Didn’t get a response to the my message I sent on the Tuesday and we left on the Friday.3. There is a walk to the local pub (which is amazing) we had to drive there all the times as there is one sign post at the bottom of the hill, we found a folded over sign halfway up the hill and that’s it. There is a map with a line on in the lodge but zero instructions as to where you go which you sort of need on a mile long walk over hills. Would love to know whether you ho over the locked gate? They are fields full of livestock and we didn’t want to go into the wrong fieldIt is shame as these are simple things to fix and I hope it gets sorted
