"Never needed to see staff. Hot tub lovely as start although chlorine tables was never added to dispenser after we arrived, and therefore not sure it stayed above appropriate level. Location great , quiet and secluded. Lodge spacious although a bit dated, no 2 pins in bathroom and bit weedy outside on patio, but wound not put off booking again"
