The lodge was lovely and clean, bed super comfy, and had everything we needed.

It was an ideal location and the staff on the park were nice. We enjoyed the hot tub. The health club and swimming pool was also a nice treat. The only down side to our stay was a smell near the ensuite bathroom, it was like a drain smell round the back of the lodge. It didn't affect our stay though we had a lovely holiday.

I have mixed feelings about this property.

Location is great. We were able to walk the paddleboards to water, short drive to many lakes, perfect. The place is nicely furnished. However is anything but clean. I can understand the need to have a quick turnover, people out and next set in straight away but still. I had to hoover when we got in. There was a lot of mess under beds, behind sofa which is away from wall for reclining, lots of dead flies by wall with Internet modem. I took the bedsheets off on departure and mattress protectors were disgusting. How hard is it to have a spare and wash the one on the bed when you change bed sheets? There are only 3 beds. Both bathrooms were clean. Decking haven't seen any love in a long time. Had to give it a good brush. The back of the lodge smells badly to the point you cannot have windows open. The ensuit bathroom and twin bedroom. On the positive, it is provided with lots of necessities, soap, toilet paper, a small welcoming box etc. The hot tub, the reason I booked the place, added a lot of stress. Jets don't turn off, there is a constant humming in the night, significantly louder when jets restarts or heating or whatever is does. Sleep was not on the cards in this week. I've never encounter this issue at other places in the past. If you ask me if I'd stay here again, probably only if I'd be short of alternatives.

There were several issues upon arrival.

Firstly, there were no TV remotes in the property. I did call the help desk who did send one round quickly although it took a while to programme it. The lodge appeared dirty. The beds were a bit foisty and had some hairs in the master bedroom. There was a tupperware underneath the main bed although not sure why! The towels had some marks on them. We weren't sure if these were permanent marks or if they were dirty. There was no kitchen bin as such although we did find one in a cupboard without a lid, although there were no bin liners in the lodge. The hot tub was only 35 degrees on arrival and lukewarm. It did warm up the following day but it wasn't a good first impression. Plus the tub is in an awkward location - the lid is difficult to get on and off as you can't walk around the side, so you have to be in the tub to then pull it back over. We did put up the issues as we wanted to enjoy our break as much as we could but when it is labelled as 5 star then we felt disappointed. It just needs some TLC and a bit more thought going into making the guests feel welcome
