Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge is frequently described as clean and well-maintained, with several guests highlighting its tidiness. However, there are repeated mentions of black debris from the spa bath jets, which suggests a specific issue with cleanliness in that area. This issue has affected the score but does not overshadow the general satisfaction with the property's cleanliness.
While guests have expressed enjoyment of the property and mentioned a tranquil setting, there is insufficient detail in the reviews to accurately assess the location in terms of accessibility, proximity to local attractions, or its overall desirability. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.
Comfort is consistently praised, with guests finding the property very comfortable and warm. The presence of a sauna, cinema room, and a private garden adds to the comfort level. Some minor issues like a leaking jacuzzi bath overflow and a non-working heated floor are noted but do not significantly impact the overall comfort.
The lodge's facilities, including a sauna, cinema room, and jacuzzi bath, are well-received and contribute to an enjoyable stay. However, the repeated mention of maintenance issues, particularly with the spa bath jets, suggests room for improvement. The score reflects the balance between the high-quality facilities and the need for better maintenance.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness of the hosts. Without such references, it is not possible to provide a score for this category.

It is very well built, maintained and was spotlessly clean on arrival.

The Sauna and jacuzzi bath are real assets. The Chair in the cinema room has a tear in it which doesn't affect use but needs attention. Would love to visit when the weather is better!

We particularly enjoyed the jacuzzi and sauna! The chairs in the cinema room could do with some attention but did not distract from a wonderful stay at this fabulous location!
