Confirmed Guest
The beds and seating were comfortable, although the bedding for the double bed was poor quality. One blind in the lounge was broken and could not be opened. A blind was absent at the kitchen window so there was a lack of privacy. The hot water was inconsistent, sometimes hot and sometimes lukewarm. Although superficially clean, the caravan is old and requires a deep clean/refurbishment. The description of the caravan listed as having a smart TV, however this was not the case as there was no internet.

Overall cleanliness good, but things like light in lounge over fireplace thick with dirt and also did not work. No instructions for the fire in lounge so did not use it. No blind or curtains in the kitchen, so felt as though we did not have any privacy. Loved the layout of the lodge very cosy and homely. Beds very comfy. Overall had a great ho.iday with our grandson.
