    “Whilst the lodge has everything you need and is well equipped, we were quite disappointed to be honest to find the property in darkness,no lights outdoors to navigate our way (weather was also against us) it took us a good 5-10 minutes to find the door round the back as it was pitch black.”

    We presumed the door was as you walk up the drive. Lighting was very poor. Once finally in it was so hot we had to open the doors and windows. The thermostat had been left on at 30’C, the first night we slept with no covers and windows open (brought in a whole new version of bug life too!)

    We presumed the door was as you walk up the drive. Lighting was very poor. Once finally in it was so hot we had to open the doors and windows. The thermostat had been left on at 30’C, the first night we slept with no covers and windows open (brought in a whole new version of bug life too!) We realised the previous occupants rubbish had also been left in the bin, which absolutely stank by the next morning. There was no (little - washing up liquid and anti bac) cleaning materials left as the bins themselves and the sink drain stunk of curry. I spent the first half hour wiping down the bins and trying to rid the curry odour. No dishwasher tablets left etc The neighbouring lodge occupants kept slamming doors and I was convinced it was something or someone getting through the door. We could hear them talking and each door shutting. The hot tub area could do with some shelter to make it more private - opposite lodge had full view and even shouted over. My partner mentioned the trees on the drive could do with some branches chopping back as they scratched the van. We probably wouldn’t return unfortunately.
