    Our second visit was a bit disappointing, think the lodge and it is a lodge not a caravan is great , but starting to look a bit tired ,the main cooker was terrible the bottom is covered in thick grease when we turned it on it stunk the place out,used the top oven after that , the hoover stinks when using it, the draining board and plastic plate dryer thing was filthy , the baking trays were covered in grease didn’t use them ,bits fall off the small bathroom cupboard when you open it around the chrome is dirty , we had to remove the shower head in the main bathroom as it was thick with black gunge , 2023 magazines still there, the whicker place mats have dried in food on them ,very dusty in places and the cupboards and interior glass look as though they were wiped over with a dirty cloth , as you have to be out of the accommodation by 9 am and can’t arrive until 3 pm there is plenty time to clean the property but I would say that if previous customers cleaned up after them then greasy tins ovens and draining boards shouldn’t be a problem it’s a shame because it has everything going for it that is why we returned but in 12 month it seems to have dropped in std possibly
