“Not the best but you won't find a bad review on the agents website thats for sure”
The site itself is nice, well maintained and secure. On arrival the lodge looks great, easily on a par with others we have stayed in. Unfortunately thats where our satisfaction ended.
The lodge had apparently been cleaned and the door sealed as part of the current COVID control measures, great until you realise that the rear doors of the lodge were left unlocked so kind of pointless sealing the door for reassurance if anyone can access the place.
Nevertheless we arrived to find the place tidy but not necessarily clean, marks and dirt on the kitchen units, freezer drawers filthy,etc. not a massive problem but not what we expected to spend our time rectifying. We then tried to close the blinds, 4 of the 6 living room blinds had broken pullcords, more worryingly the bedroom blinds have metal pullcords with no safety hoop. This is a serious safety concern for those of us who visit with children as there have been a number of children strangled by these things.
In the main bedroom there is a skylight, when raining it leaks down the ceiling and onto the wardrobe door. The decking is an absolute nightmare, green algae covering the whole thing, after a number of slips for my 5 year old we picked up a scrubbing brush from B&M and cleaned a route to the hot tub. The hot tub was good, the rusty bottle tops surrounding it were not so good. W
e were asked to strip the beds before leaving which is when we discovered the pee stained mattress we had been sleeping on all week.
Why am I writing this review? Well simply because the lodge provider/agent confirmed that they filter out reviews if they contain H&S matters. On that basis you will not find a review which gives a true reflection of the lodges condition/issues on their website.
