Excellent location, well furnished, plenty of room, but...
The lodge is in a great location, is very well decorated and very well furnished with plenty of room and light inside the house and also in the large enclosed garden. However, it was let down by a number of silly small things that could be easily fixed with a few pounds spent.
When paying this amount for a holiday home for a week, you would expect to have toilet roll holders in the bathrooms and a better selection and quality of items in the kitchen, especially as the lodge is for 8 people. We also had trouble with the shower on the first day, as it appeared to only work if the shower head was no higher than 4ft. It did work OK after then.
The frying pan (and other items) probably lost their non stick 10 years ago, the kettle was appalling, the plastic around the top was disintegrating. The worst issue was the storage pantry cupboard which had a horrible smell inside of it, and we did not store any food inside, it smelt as if something had died in the cupboard. We purchased some air freshener/odour remover and by the end of the week the smell had reduced, but you could still smell something in the kitchen and the dining room.
Overall, if the owners had spend a few pounds on a couple of toilet roll holders and updated the kitchen utilities, and fixed the smell we would have given it 5 stars, but in the condition it was during our stay, we can't!
