Report
This lodge is not "accessible to everyone" as stated on their website. If you are disabled, there is no walk in shower. Both the showers are over the baths which are high. The log cabin is very tired and in need of a revamp. Door on kitchen unit does not close, making it awkward to use dishwasher. There are loose paving at patio doors and also beside the ramp. The front was hanging off one of the baths. The upper floor double bedroom is not en-suite as stated on video. Some china, glasses and cutlery were dirty and there was not a complete set of anything. Not 5 star as stated on website. however
