To be honest, my heart sunk when we first arrived, the approach to the Lodge and general outside looks quite unkempt, and a bit scruffy. The reception, bar, breakfast and lounge areas all quite old fashioned and basic, also bedrooms where quite dated and everything in need of refurbishment. but saying that the staff and breakfasts really made up for it, the place seemed clean, and the bed was comfy, I enjoyed a lovely hot bath & nice fluffy white towels. all of the staff were absolutely amazing and couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was way and above expectations. so for the price we paid all in all it turned out okay.
