Pros +
- Food was great. Room was lovely really nice stay.
- Lovely place picturuse ground floor close to reception
- Delicious fish meals, and excellent breakfast.Staff very kind, Lee, Violet and Ollie couldn’t have been more helpful.
Cons -
- Could have a drink before check in we arrived an hour early but the Lodge didn’t open until check in so we drove to a near by pub.
- Large radiator in room and I turned it on and was hot but didn't warm room up I was cold, should have been on before arrival.
- The room was freezing and took hours to warm up. The bathroom door would jam shut needing someone else to open it from the outside. The door knob fixing screws were sharp resulting in cuts to fingers. Both towel rails were hanging out of the wall as the fixings had given out. The shower head holder was broken and couldn't be used unless holding it yourself. Toilet roll was being rationed to a single half a roll. All in all nothing really bad but is indicative of a lack of management care.

Ideal location for our trip. Easy to find, ample parking .
Lovely and clean. Easy to find. Staff were very friendly and helpful
We liked the meal we had in the restaurant and the friendly service. The breakfast was great.Loved the proper sausages and the help yourself approach.
A Lovely Warm Welcome from Violet at reception,the room was lovely & all the staff were very friendly too.The Breakfast was really good,lots of it & nice & hot.We will stay again,all in all a really lovely hotel.Thank You.
It would have been nice to have more hanging space for our clothes.
Great location . Friendly staff. Comfortable and clean
Shower wasn’t hot
Very quiet location. All staff very nice, friendly and extremely helpful. Very good breakfast excellent variety
Very pleasant staff, clean comfortable room, excellent location.
The six union flags flying outside the hotel made us feel very uncomfortable (one would have been sufficient).
Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choices. Hot, and cooked very well and tasty.
I didn't think room was clean, hairs and marks on sheets. That I had to wipe of bedding. Burn or melted carpet. Pipes from heating were all rusted up. Water marks on ceiling. Room in need of total revamp. The bed was comfortable, and pillows too. We did notice that room below was gutted out.Toilet had to be repaired, as it was constantly running with water. Windows dirty, carpets to.
Cosy place to stay over for a longer weekend. Checkin is super quick as well as the checkout. Very clean and comfort bed sheets.
Breakfast was lovely- impressed on selection of fresh fruit.We liked lighting upto and inside room and check in.
Noise late at night from other parties /groups.Pillows were not comfortable- very flat.
This is our chosen place to stay when we visit relatives locally after a 6 hour drive and we do have a favourite room which they will always give us if they can and this means everything to us as we are creatures of habit and it has become home from home. However, on this occasion they couldn’t give us our usual room as they are making improvements throughout so they gave us a complimentary upgrade instead and we stayed in the Swan Suite which we loved very much and will definitely book when we are able to stay for more than 1 night at a time.The suite was tasteful and yet understated with matching decor and soft furnishings throughout, Air Con and a modern heating systems which kept the place thoroughly toasty and warm on a very cold, windy day.The bedroom was spacious with a window with a view and a huge bed that was very soft and comfortable and was positioned perfectly for optimal view of the TV, the bathroom looked fresh and clean with a lovely hot shower, there was plenty of towels and complimentary toiletries too. The living quarters are equipped with a TV, sofa, dining table and a fridge stocked with water, soft drinks and alcohol, also a kettle and coffee machine with an array of pods to choose from and a well stocked tea caddy with complimentary biscuits and chocolate.The patio doors open onto the most breathtaking views of the countryside where you will find comfortable chairs to sit and take the view in.I would highly recommend this suite and can’t wait to book it during the summer when we can stay longer to make the most of the suite and the stunning views.We enjoyed a perfectly cooked full English after a choice of muffins, croissants, a large selection of fresh fruit, yoghurt and cereal, different fresh fruit juices and tea and coffee.
There is nothing to dislike here, the room was great, the food was tasty and the staff are accommodating, efficient and friendly.
Staff excellent and very friendly, breakfast was good nice and hot a great selection
room was in good order maybe could do with a update and check the fan in wet room
Lovely place, close to everything we wanted to visit.
Minor things that did not ruin our stay. The shower head did not fix, so you had to hold it all the time.
We come back to this lodge every time we visit the area because we love the setting, having our own access and the staff are lovely. The breakfast is always a highlight too with lots of choice.
Nothing to dislike
We love the stunning views, the breakfasts and the staff are very accommodating and always put us in the room we prefer with window seats and a rolling landscape of the countryside when possible.
Nothing to dislike.
