Unexpected Gem!

We had a great stay! It was a last-minute booking and ended up being such a nice surprise. The room was lovely, and the breakfast was amazing—easily one of the best we’ve had in the UK. The staff were super friendly. We really enjoyed our time there and would definitely come back.

The staff and owner made our stay memorable, their attention to making sure their customers needs were met, the rooms were very clean, the restaurant menu was very good and was freshly cooked. This is an ideal place for artists and bird watchers the view from the room is unbelievable, also the bird life sight and sound is brilliant. Can't recommend the Lodge enough. There are places

Place was ok all in all. Good location, parking was tricky. They don't take peoples car registration so on first night had someone working there knock on the door waking us at 10.45pm asking if a car was ours that had blocked the entrance. Poor thing had to knock on everyone's doors and wake them up to go home. Same thing at breakfast, someone had parked inconsiderately and people couldn't leave. Rooms are ok but tired, clearly able to hear neighbouring rooms. Bathroom shower from the 70's but water pressure good. Electric shower sounded like an aircraft trying to take off. Breakfast poor. Not enough staff to clear tables or restock. Telling people, - no you will have to wait for me to clear tables and now I am too busy" may be honest, but gave a really poor impression. Outside between rooms are quite nice, but the fountain is covered in slime so heavy that run over the edges.

Disgraceful hotel management!!!

Disgraceful hotel management!!! My colleagues arrived at the hotel to find it completely closed, all the were lights off, nobody was in the hotel and there were cones across the car park! We had to book into a different hotel. 30 minutes later the hotel manager called my colleagues to say he had opened the hotel by which time it was too late! He then declined to refund our booking and told me that my colleagues were lying, my colleagues have stayed there in the past and it was at their request that we booked this particular hotel, there is absolutely no reason for them to lie! The hotel manager spoke to me like dirt and for this reason we will never stay there again!
