Ash

Lovely place to stay just a couple of negatives which will hopefully be fixed firstly back door was broken,some of the lights weren`t working,no lock on bathroom door !

and no one came to clean hot tub all week part from that ideal place to stay to visit all the things in swanage

Ash lodge was spacious comfortable and well equipped, with the extras of rooftop terrace and jacuzzi.

The only thing that let it down was the cleanliness and maintenance of the property, from cobwebs/dust and stained bedding,

No facilities open ie, shop, bars and restaurant was only open for a minimum time, a few hours during the day, lodge needed a good clean, some appliances need attention and updating.

Bathrooms need a proper clean and general maintenance. Lighting and fridge in need of attention. Sofas were unkempt cushions had muck in the crevices and all cushion covers needs a good wash. Suggest putting a chopping board in the kitchen. Outside grass and hedges need a good cut and trim back, if we were going to have a barbecue we couldn’t have used the grass area as it was far too long. Some of the furniture up on the top decking was broken so couldn’t be used. Also all cushions need to be washed. Other than these small issues we all had a lovely time. We did think the lodge itself was spacious and homely in part. Thank you Stella Davies and Party

We had lovely stay, but ,in my opinion the property could do with some maintenance and upgrading.

The sun loungers on the upstairs deck had no cushions (if they did we never found them) one of the loungers was held together with cable ties and a piece of wood! The kitchen lacked, what I would describe as, essential items - scissors, colander, chopping board, bread board etc. Information regarding re-cycling, what and where the bins were was not provided. Also in the en-suite when the toilet flushed it caused gurgling and water to come up in the shower drain hole which was a bit disconcerting.

Only things which the kitchen could have done with was a chopping board and a bread board!

It would also have been nice if there were cushions for the furniture on the roof. But all in all it was a great place to stay and we had a lovely time. (Those are only very minor suggestions for an even better experience!) Thank you for letting us stay
