“A relaxing stay that we made the most of regardless of the feedback.”
It was a great space with modern bathrooms and kitchen - the log fire was great but I would have liked to have known we needed to buy wood for our stay as the main heaters were not on( it looks like this lodge used to be part of the main reception bar area) so there are electric heaters that do the job but it wasn’t enough our first night. You need to buy the logs from the local shop and it’s not open Sundays. We arrived a Sunday, it set us back £30 for 1 bag of logs and 1 bag of kindling. We still had a lovely stay regardless, I just wanted to give some honest feedback as I couldn’t find any of this information online before arrival - ps there is a dishwasher! It’s not listed on the facilities. Hot tube was clean but wasn’t hot enough our first night - did message the owners For advice but no response. I’m assuming it hadn’t been turned on until that day and takes a long time to heat up so it was uncomfortable the first night. We purchased the luxury robes and early check in late check out - I recommend these. A net for the hot tub to remove debris would have been great too! I brought some cosy blankets and lighting to really set the vibe for our autumn stay. The furnishings etc were all bit mis matched. The lodge needs a good lick of paint, not just patchwork. Not that that effects our stay - I am quite fussy so make of that what you will. It was generally clean but the soft furnishings, curtains sofas etc need a deep clean. Some curtains were handing off the hooks. The staff seemed to work hard to maintain but I think there may only be a few staff. The whole place seems to have been downsized and shut down a bit, So not what it once was. The restaurant is permanently closed and is used as storage., you could see this on your arrival - just seemed a bit run down. This isn’t clear online. Although it’s still well functioning. The grand suite door is right next to reception so people heading there can see you in your hotub. Also attaches to other lodges, so we were able to hear other guests quite a lot
