"Great location and onsite facilities"

7.0

Loved the en-suites in every room and wood burning stove Also the leisure facilities were great.

Kitchen had previously been water damaged and it showed. Loose flooring and counter worktop. Also the oven would trip the other appliances. No freezer.

"Facilities very dissapointing and tired"

6.0

The location was excellent, and the staff lovely. The Lodge itself was clean and the beds very comfy.

We chose to stay at the lodge because of the hotel facilities on offer - however, they were very dissapointing - the pool in particular was extremely tired, rusty looking and the changing rooms dirty - a very unpleasant experience. The soft play has the most expensive vending machines for guests - £2.50 for a coke! Again, tired and dirty looking.

"Disappointed"

5.0

Area and pool

Alot of electrics not working, reported it to staff and still never seen anyone at the lodge, for the money paid for the logde it should be a better standard. Fridge wasnt working as the power supply had fused, i had to remove the fridge myself to plug straight into a socket that made the fridge in the way. Under floor hearting for the bathrooms had fused kids kept saying they didnt want to use the downstairs bathroom because the tiles were freezing, reported this no one came to check. Bedroom on lefy main lights couldn't switch on as they kept flashing on and off same with the lights in the kitchen. Main bathroom toilet was sticking so it was stuck on flushing. We have stayed in the lodges 4 foir times and each time there is more and more flauts, thos is the first time ive made a review because it was below standard for what i paid for.

"Disappointed for such a well known resort."

3.0

I liked where the lodge was situated but that’s really as far as it goes.

The property was extremely dated. No batteries in remotes. Try to phone reception multiple times with no response. There was no pods for coffee machine nor any tea or coffee or even biscuits in the lodge. The bin in the lodge was absolutely tiny. Staff were very rude in the swimming pool and wanted to make a fuss about the amount of children we had with us. This should be mentioned on booking as the woman said children under 5 need 1 adult to one child which means you do not accommodate anyone with more than 2 children. If you have 5yr old 3yr and 10yr old you could not take them swimming here as it’s not based on capabilities it’s based on ratios which is absolutely wild. We were made to look very stupid standing in waiting area whilst other people were let in. Including a 17yr old in the children’s softplay. Think people need to rethink producers.

"Toptijd!"

Het is de ideale locatie voor een jong gezin. Ruim huis, met eetgelegenheden op loopafstand.

Keuken werd bij elkaar gehouden met een aantal extra schroeven: moet echt vervangen worden.

Very clean and great location. Everything on your doorstep . Access to Leisure centre was great.

5pm check in is far too late especially when checkout is 10am.

"We had an excellent time while staying with you, we would recommend"

8.0

Loved the accommodation and the leisure facilities. Breakfast was good, and the staff were attentive.

The pool was a little cold, but the staff were great. The cinema refreshments were a little steep in price. Some staff seemed a little begrudging to be at work but I get it, it was quiet. The lights in the Aspects restaurant were quite flickery when we had our steak dinner there, but the staff and food were good, just a little distracting with the lights
