    “The lodge is in a lovely location overlooking the pond and the site itself is very pleasant.”

    Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the condition of the property on arrival. We found areas that we felt had not been cleaned to the standard expected, including debris on furniture and staining in the main bedroom carpet. There was also an odour in the main bedroom which became more noticeable during our stay. We found that the windows in the main bedroom and bathroom could not be opened, which affected ventilation within the property. One of the reasons we chose this accommodation was ...

    Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the condition of the property on arrival. We found areas that we felt had not been cleaned to the standard expected, including debris on furniture and staining in the main bedroom carpet. There was also an odour in the main bedroom which became more noticeable during our stay. We found that the windows in the main bedroom and bathroom could not be opened, which affected ventilation within the property. One of the reasons we chose this accommodation was the hot tub, however we did not use it as we were not confident it had been cleaned to a standard we were comfortable with. During our stay, we spent much of our time outside the lodge as we did not find the accommodation as comfortable as expected. We also purchased cleaning products and carried out some additional cleaning ourselves. The lodge appears tired in several areas and we feel it would benefit from some maintenance and updating. We also felt that the photographs did not fully reflect the property's current condition. Overall, while the location was excellent, the condition of the accommodation did not meet our expectations.

    We have looked at the issues these two gentlemen raised.we have since changed the carpets and given it a deep clean.the cleaning company sent 21 photos of the lodge to Sykes after we received these complaints to show there was nothing wrong with the hot tub which had been cleaned and serviced the evening before these guests moved in .
