The Superior Double Lodge was lovely and spacious. I found the bed very comfortable and enjoyed the decent sized television. I appreciated the very good food in the restaurant.

The breakfast was okay , but it was less fancy than expected with no frills.
The leisure facilities were not managed and I saw young children unsupervised. They were using the jacuzzi. There were too many people , so it was uncomfortable.
