“Highly dissatisfied with our weeks stay at church view.”
Sofas are incredibly uncomfortable, luckily there was a tv in the bedroom, we spent evenings watching tv in bed. The hot tub added a lovely touch to our stay, however, this is extremely dirty and full of flies, when I asked the reception team for a net, they said the hot tub guy will be round to clean it and suck the flies out, he did come round to the lodge, unfortunately only flicking a few out. On our first night, we had a small issue with the plug in the bath getting stuck and we were told by maintenance team to simply use the public showers outside if this weren’t fixable, I was immediately taken back by this as I would have booked a camping trip at a cheaper price! We have previously stayed in other lodges on site which we were very happy with, as per our re visit now with a dog. Church view is actually a lodge split in half, divided by just a door with reception, I didn’t have a problem with this, as stated in the description upon booking, however, they charge just as much for this as they do for the other lodges. The worst part of our stay had to be the awful burning smell from the industrial building across from the lodge, this is super intense and meant we couldn’t even use the garden, we were lucky to have a lovely hot week (30 degrees plus), and felt VERY disheartened that using the garden was made impossible without coughing, not to mention horrible for our dogs health! Although, sitting in the garden was extremely uncomfortable anyway due to the wooden furniture, sunloungers may as well not even be in place, horrendous comfort! Cafe food is worth the star I have given, incredible food and reasonably priced. Won’t be returning!
