Woolverstone Marina and Lodge Park

Location, peaceful, local walks and pubs

One of the showers was leaking (Holly).

Modern. Plenty of space and good facilities on site

Bramble Lodge at Woolverstone Lodge Park was very smart, very clean and well maintained. The mattress was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept on.

There were however some drawbacks….. Both showers had similar controls which were a victory of style over functionality. With no obvious labels, instructions or colours it was matter of ‘suck it and see’. Twisting one side seemed to control temperature whilst pulling was needed to cross over a central notch. Twisting the other side seemed to control up/down/bath again with a notch. All functions were impossible to control with wet/soapy hands, whilst being drenched with cold/hot water, since the smooth chromium controls were without any serrations to aid grip. Although the bed was very comfortable the duvets however were much too high in tog rating (about 15). I had to remove the duvet and just use the duvet cover. I did venture into the smart on-site restaurant/bar only to find that the only beer pump (Adnams Bitter) was not in use so the choice was one of about five different lagers or Guinness. I purchased a pint of Guinness and sat outside overlooking the harbor …. very pleasant. After asking for a menu, thinking that I would like to eat there that evening, I was informed that the chef was on holiday that week…… I didn’t go back. Mobile phone reception inside the Lodge was virtually non-existent and just about strong enough outside (using O2 network) No key was available for the patio doors although they seemed to have a outside key slot. So entry and exit was only via the “back door” when going out anywhere.
