Lovely little break away.

We stayed in Lodge 11. Very happy with the size of the lodge, very spacious & most importantly, it was clean & tidy. Unfortunately it's a little tired in places, for example, a cracked Hob & chipped coffee table... For this reason, I can only give it 4*. The Hot Tub was immaculate, so hats off to whoever looks after the tubs.A couple of criticisms... The TV's aren't Smart which is a real shame & the mattress in the main bedroom needs replacing.Overall my family & I have had a great stay & would definitely return in the future.There's also lots of nice walks around the area & the complex is very dog friendly, which was perfect as we'd taken our miniature dachshund with us.See you soon.
