  • "Lovely lodge, amazing lay out and beautiful bit upstairs to sit."

    Unfortunately the jacuzzi/tub we didn’t use. When we turned it on lots of black flies came out of the hoses. We contacted the reception and they sent someone out to clean it which took several hours, We tried again but still lots of timescale was coming out which seemed very unhygienic - so it was not used which is a disappointment as it was one of the main reasons going to the lodge. It needs a full strip down and clean.

    Thank you so much for your feedback Bill, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, despite the fact that there were issues with your jacuzzi bath. Our spa team has now been in to resolve the issues, however I am so sorry that this was not carried out before you arrive. I do hope that you will come back to see us again in the future, as we really do value our guests. Sally, Guest Services, Charteroak Property Owner

    It was awful. We called the receptionist to inform them and although we were offered another unit we didn’t feel that it was fit for our stay due to the the weather. It was raining and of course the new tub was outside. Also, we didn’t feel that we wanted to pack up and move to another unit for only one night. We were told that they could not do anything about it. We were not offered any compensation or discount. We were told that the manager would make contact after the weekend, now 2/3 days later and still no contact. Very disappointed

    Beautiful grounds, fantastic place. My only issue would be the hot tub, during use black particles come out of the jets and into the water. The property overall was amazing, really beautiful. Had everything we needed. My one issue for the site would be the road lighting, it was very rarely on, so when walking the dog, if you didn’t take a torch it was pitch black.

    When jets were turned on bath was filled with black scum. As it took nearly an hour to fill we gave up. This ruined an otherwise perfect stay.

    Thank you for your feedback We were advised that when you went to use the hot tub on the last night of your stay, is when some black bits appeared, and we do advise guests not to use any products such as oils, bubble bath etc as the build up of these products does clog the filter system.

    . as others have stated the indoor spa bath needs a good service and clean as when you turn on the jets , black slime comes out and ruins the experience.. for the sake of just getting it serviced and cleaned maybe once a month as per instructions it would make the world of difference.. such a shame as everything else is just perfect in the property ( we run it through to clean out the jets when we arrived and this did help but as stated it needs servicing!)
