"Excellent week away, lodge was very clean and comfortable and well maintained."
We wanted a peaceful location to avoid the fireworks in our home town as our dog is terrified of them, and this did not disappoint. Will definitely be booking again, thank you.

Really enjoyed your lodge we stayed 7 nights
Could do with a plug that actually fits the bath tub
Also skirting boards could do with a good clean and extractor fan in kitchen full of grease
I notice these things because I'm a cleaner
Also sofa under cushions needed a good hoover
I know this sounds a bit picky but thought it would help
Thank you

"I booked this cabin purely that it was pet friendly, the cabin and the site was a wonderful bonus that it was so nice."
The cabin was clean and comfortable, perfect for our few days.
The site was so well looked after and a good field for dog walks nearby.
will definitely look to book again.

"We feel 9am is rather early for check out, we left the afternoon before, thus shortening our holiday which is not very good."
Also the plugs on both bathroom sinks do not hold water, I think they are worn out.

"The lodge was in a pretty and peaceful location it was very clean well equipped stunning kitchen comfy sofas and beds."
Unfortunately hob not working this was rectified next day when table top hob supplied. Could do with second side table in lounge area. Tv only had small selection of terrestrial channels. Frame around sky light had been botched up. Step into shower very high and could have been much lower when originally installed. Toilet in main bathroom difficult to flush and needed new syphon. Mirror in dressing area needs lowering when sat on stool could only see top half of my head. Overall good lodge but above issues need rectifiying. Site reception never open

"Had a lovely stay in this lodge."
Clean, comfortable and well equipped. I really don’t want to put anything negative but the advert stated there was a dvd player and there wasn’t. As the weather was not very kind I bought a cheap dvd player from Argos.
But do not let tat detract from a great stay in a comfortable place.

"On first walking in to lodge, it felt like home, some small issues, main bathroom window was open only found on 2nd day, main bedroom window sash having gap in bottom right hand corner, when windy the lodge howled as wind came through poor double glazed windows, my opinion is replacing them, as numerous attempts to rectify have failed."
I would also like to see king size beds instead of double bed, cramped. But apart from that there was sufficient kitchen appliances, and utensils, and yes we have recommended this to our friends, and one couple already booked, and yes we will return in the future. Thank you.

"We arrived in the pouring and site power failure only to find no one available to identify which was our lodge and then had to contact your office for info."
Problem was that nowhere on your paperwork was the number or the name of lodge shown. I noted a previous comment on a feedback listing this problem but you obviously haven’t acted on.
Another issue was that on Thursday our final day at breakfast we were greeted by workman with a digger looking to repair some drainage problem. Surely this could have been done next day during changeover.
Shame because otherwise a lovely stay
