245 Riverside Lodge

Decent accommodation in a quiet park which gives plenty of day trip options around the local area.

The lodge itself was decent although a bit under-maintained in places (the exterior shows signs of wear, lack of cleaning of the windows and interior room corners etc), but overall a positive experience.

Absolutely brilliant.

We all enjoyed the stay and looking to book again for next year.

We have just come home from a 3 night stay in 245 Riverside Lodge.

The positives: Quiet location Comfortable beds All kitchen amenities needed are available Easy to warm property quickly Decent shower (shower caddy hanging off the wall though) We wouldn’t stay at this property again due to how the cleanliness wasn’t up to our standards. There were cobwebs and lots of dead bugs in corners of rooms, one kitchen utensil we noticed was missed being cleaned (juicer), and the electrics kept tripping out although easy enough to locate fuse box and switch back on. We needed to go around and plug everything in, switch hot water on, and even fridge freezer which was a mild inconvenience (we had stuff that needed refrigeration when we arrived). We figured we should unplug and switch everything off again upon leaving but we weren’t given any specific “check out” rules It’s a shame as some additional attention on the cleaning, probably would have seen us rebook as we value comfortable beds and a quiet location

We have a fabulous stay at 245 Riverside Lodge.

It was clean, tidy and the beds were comfortable. The location was perfect and we would absolutely book to stay here again.

We booked this as a last minute short break to visit family.

Nice location and holiday park; loved the pool on the one day it was sunny enough to use it! Let down by an overwhelming smell of damp throughout the property. The inside of drawers & cupboards smelt very strongly of damp, for example in the kitchen glasses had to be washed before using to get rid of the smell and I didn’t unpack as I didn’t want my clothes to smell of it. We did leave windows and doors open all time we were in, but it didn’t help. There were air fresheners but they just masked the smell and faded quickly. No extraction fans in bathroom or kitchen. Generally poor cleaning throughout, lots of dirt and dead bugs in corners, shower didn’t drain very well, clearly not been properly cleaned in a long time, this was the end of the school summer holidays. Beds were comfortable but let down by really cheap duvets and covers. There was a 2 seater sofa (not very comfortable) and 2 small armchairs, would be a real squeeze for 6 people. No hairdryer. Has everything else you’d need for a short break and would be lovely if cleaned and the damp sorted out.
