positive:
Friendly owners create warm atmosphere
Guests of this lodge are made to feel very welcome from the outset due to the warm ambience created by the gracious hosts. Reviewers felt the staff here perfectly embodied the kind of service they have come to expect in privately-run accommodation such as this.
positive:
Delicious food at on-site restaurant
The food served at on-site restaurant Harby's is of excellent quality and generous portion sizes, which was naturally a positive for many previous guests. Reviewers have no hesitation in recommending eating here, and many admit they make a habit of dining there when passing through.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Limited kitchen facilities
Some reviewers were disappointed to find that the advertised kitchen available for guest use is not a full kitchen, but is rather a small space with a toaster and kettle yet no utensils or crockery.
negative:
Some maintenance concerns
The lodge shows signs of wear here and there, with many reviewers finding something amiss in their room such as a broken shower rail or similar. For most this was not a major detraction from their enjoyment of the accommodation, but they nevertheless felt more attention could be paid to this aspect.
negative:
Beds not comfortable for all
Several reviewers found the beds at this lodge uncomfortable, with reports of lumpy and overly hard mattresses. This therefore may not be the best accommodation option for more sensitive sleepers.
