On arrival there was no heating or hot water as the boiler pressure was too low. This was sorted by the site caretaker within half an hour of being reported. He did tell us that the boiler was known to be faulty but the owners plumber had gone on holiday leaving the part required on his van. The kitchen tap had a constant drip which although we were told the caretaker would come back to fix over the weekend, we never saw him again. The steps down from the property were covered in wet leaves making them quite treacherous. Maybe if there had been a broom at the property we could have kept the steps clear. Due to all of the above we ended up cutting our holiday short by 4 days.

We were very disappointed with the outside appearance of the lodge,very shabby and neglected,plants growing out of the guttering. The lodge smelt musty damp and affected my asthma quite badly.None of the ceiling lights or lamps on the lounge area worked. The oven wouldnât heat up,no manual for the oven but itâs quite old. The bathroom washbasin plug release devices were very hard to operate. We had no instructions how to raise the barrier on arrival. We didnât know that we had to walk across to the lodge,open the key box and on that would be the fob to open the barrier. Another lodge person came to help us and said that it happened regularly on that particular lodge. The cleaners had done a good job, the beds were comfy nice towels,but a general feel of it being very outdated and uncared for.
