adequate lodging

fresh linenwardrobe cupboardself cateringmissing slatwall stainsfaulty door
The lodge included all facilities needed for self catering. The lodge had clean, fresh linen. The walk-in wardrobe in the main bedroom was excellent.
I noticed some stains on the wall next to the bed. The kitchen blind had a slat missing, it was a small detail, THOUGH. The patio doors did not shut properly, this allowed spiders to enter.

Relaxing Lodge Getaway

natural lightspacious kitchencountryside access
the lodge felt spacious with plenty of natural light. i found all the facilities in good working order. the kitchen had a big fridge and freezer, pots, and pans. walking paths near the doorstep offered easy access to the countryside.
I noticed a very small reception area with an overpriced shop. The selection was limited.

the kitchen came fully equipped with an oven, dishwasher, and washing machine for self-catering. i did note that you need to bring your own dishwasher detergent, easy to forget. delivery options are available.
Facilities
