    Very clean with plenty of space for us all. Only issue we encountered was the jets in the bath which came out as sludge so had to abandon that. Guess it had not been used in some time. Informed reception and cleaning staff tried to resolve the issue. Bath could still be used. We all enjoyed the lodge and would return. again.

    The lodge was beautiful, plenty of room for a family of 6 - pet friendly to! The holiday park had ample facilties and in driving distance of places we wanted to visit. Wouldn't definitely visit again.

    It is very damp downstairs in the bedrooms. We had very cold at times wet beds from damp. The property owner tries hard with the damp but the smell hits you as soon as you walk in. Beds have very soft mattresses. Shower is dangerous as it falls of the holder, shower tray doesn’t drain and when you stop the shower and turn it back on it scalds you! Well stocked kitchen and plenty of sofas, two fridges but they are small with a small freezer box, one was stuck. Largest coffee table I have ever seen. Games in the cupboard if needed, wifi and TV. TV in bedroom did not work. You only have 1 key so difficult if someone is staying in and someone going out, you have to lock the door with a key. Cleaners left food debris, napkins and deflated balloons under the sofa. Not great for mobility as listed and the site itself is not great. Pools are small and the shop is tiny with limited choice, pool tables were old and worn. I would not return purely due to the damp in the lodge, it was awful and ruined our holiday.
