"First Impression was a lovely cosy lodge."
Issues arise with living in the lodge. Bathroom: Lovely shower. Toilet seat wobbly Bedroom: Nice comfy bed Kitchen: well equipped but broken bin Lounge: Lamp not working, could do to take out table in middle of room and put small ones at each side of sofa (as you need to get off to reach anything on table). Also a couple of throws for sofa. Heating:Central heating does not throw out a lot of heat. Outside: Steps are not particularly safe. Bin full on arrival, left bagged rubbish inside so not to entice the wild life to go through rubbish. NOW FOR THE BIG ONE NO WIFI.
Thank you for giving such detailed, constructive feedback in addition to your positive impressions of the lodge. The layout of the lounge is not something we are currently looking to change, but your ideas are something we can consider for the future. In addition, the steps leading to the property are referenced and photographed for guests to see in advance of their visit, and we do believe them to be safe. Thank you for making us aware of the issues with the bins and the table lamp. This is not the standard we expect for our guests and apologise that you experienced this. We have recently changed cleaning company, and we will pass this feedback on to them to ensure it is rectified going forward. In relation to the WIFI, we would encourage guests to alert us of any issues arising so that we can contact the network provider and look to find a speedy resolution. We are in the process of having fibre installed, but the existing connection should still have been working during your stay. If we had been made aware that this was not the case, we would have done our very best to resolve the issue for you. We hope it did not interfere with the enjoyment of your stay. Thanks again for taking the time to review. Maria and Jonathan Property Owner

"Great lodge."
Very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The only negative for us was the lack of a secure fenced area for dogs to have a run off-lead. We had a very relaxing stay, thank you.

"Lovely comfortable stay."
Such a peaceful area. The site is very tastefully laid out the lodges set amongst trees, all very natural and pretty. Accommodation was accurately described. Would return. The enclosed bbq area to the side was a nice surprise and meant we could have the door open without worrying about our dog. The other outside decking area at front/side is not enclosed. Appreciated the bird feeders outside kitchen window and watching all the feathered visitors!

"Beautiful lodge, very clean and well equipped with everything you need for a short break."
Sofa is very comfortable. Lovely outside seating area for watching the birds coming to the feeders. Quiet and peaceful location. Great village a short walk away. Would definitely return.

"This was our third/fourth visit , but not been since before covid."
To be honest the outside looks a bit tired, needs a lick of paint and a varnish. Inside we found the bedroom door handle was loose, the toilet door didnt shut properly , large cobweb on the shower and the shower trap was dirty with hairs in it. Wouldn’t use washing machine due to stagnant water which smelt in the rubber ring as you open the door. The washer drawer was also dirty. The cushions for the outside seat need a wash. Needs a little more attention to detail when cleaning. It’s a shame to have to put these things as it is a lovely lodge in a beautiful location. We have lots of memories of this place even this time but we feel it needs a bit of TLC

"As we are 68 and 69 years the steps outside were an issue for us too slippy and every step was too high the lodge is lovely but not really meant for a older couple."
-
"The lodge was spotless, they thought of every little detail such as logs, kindling, matches for the log burner, washing up items, dog bowls, etc."
It was in a lovely setting, watching all the different birds feeding from the kitchen window

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you felt the lodge was over priced. Sykes holiday cottages set the prices for holidays in Pippin lodge, which are set with in the same price range of other 1 bedroom lodges in the area but thank you for leaving feedback Property Owner

"We had a lovely week stay on the 26th of June."
The cottage is very comfy. Well appointed lovely and peaceful site with lots of wildlife around everything you could need to relax and stay with the village of Carmel. Only a few minutes away Unsworth yard with its local brewery is a must if you like a good beer
Really glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your feedback and recommendations Property Owner

"We had a lovely week at Pippin Lodge, made all the better by fabulous weather."
The lodge was lovely and clean and had all the facilities we needed, except a washing line or better airer, it was very flimsy, if this is what you are expected to dry your washing on. We were surprised there was only one sofa, as the pictures clearly show two.
Hi thanks for your feedback and we are glad you enjoyed your stay, sorry there’s no washing line at the lodge and you felt the airier was flimsy I will have a look at it. There was two not very comfy oldish settees in the lodge but we upgraded it to a large reclining sofa for more comfort and space. New photos will be being uploaded soon as there’s new furniture now.
