Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Big and well-equipped kitchen area. Free popcorn and coffee. Overall clean, seating outside, nice lounge area. The walls a paper-thin and the staff was courteous, though seemed not too interested in being proactively helpful. WiFi connection was very slow and spotty, be sure to have data. The bathroom were quite cold I thought even though it wasn't winter. Overall, a pleasant experience at a reasonable rate.

The staff was very nice, responsive, and helpful! The room was small but very nice and clean. The kitchen we were able to use was great! The shared bathroom was good but showers were small. We would stay here again.

Joy, at the front desk has been one of the most helpful and friendly people I have ever experience who checked me in to my accommodation. Added an extra nights stay with no hassle. I ended up saying 3 nights. Joy was professionally and very kind. I have experienced some rude nad dispissive front of house people. So this was such a refreshing contrasts. Nothing was too much bother. As a single female traveller she made my stay easy. Thank you Joy

We weren't expecting much from this lodge given the low price. But it hugely exceeded our expectations. On arrival at 7pm after a long drive, it was easy to find and park. The receptionist gave us a welcome that was so friendly and enthusiastic, it put most other hotels to shame. While the room was quite small and the bathroom shared (as we'd expected), it was nice and warm, giving us an instant boost on a cold night, and the bed was extremely comfortable. The location couldn't have been better, with a range of decent restaurants within a short walking distance. There was a large kitchen and common room area with free tea, coffee and popcorn, outside there was a hot tub you could use up till 10pm, and the atmosphere overall felt more like we were staying a high-end hotel than somewhere cheap, even though we'd paid just £28 for two people. I would heartily recommend this lodge.

Tolle Unterkunft
Es war wirklich alles wunderbar, eine tolle Unterkunft. Der Service vor Ort hat gepasst, die Dame war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Es gab kostenlose Scones am Empfang, Kaffee-Variationen aus einem Vollautomaten im Aufenthaltsbereich und einen Whirlpool / Spa zur freien Nutzung. Rund um eine tolle Unterkunft. Wir waren sehr zufrieden
