Good Location and Great Staff

ample kitchen clean bedrooms spa facility
The living space has ample features in the kitchen. Bedrooms are clean and beds are comfy. The swimming pool and spa facilities are great. Location is good for access to major beaches within one hour.
The television limits channels to basic TV options. The wifi isnt always strong. I think some free on-site activities could be added.

excellent lodge WITH hot tub!

beautiful location comfortable sofa good bed automatic temperature
the location was beautiful, and the lakeside flat was bigger than i expected. it had a lovely view from the balcony, i even saw a kingfisher! both the bed and sofa were good quality and comfortable. the flat was warm every time i came home, so the automatic temperature settings worked well.
although surface cleaning was immaculate , i felt that the deeper maintenance needed attention. the patio doors and windows were really dirty and it's the first thing you notice. the decking very weathered looked almost scruffy, perfectly fine at home but this is marketed as a luxury lodge.

The facilities included a warm pool with a sauna and steam room. The pool's opening hours were restrictive (last session at 5pm).
The television in the lounge did not work upon arrival. Repair attempts occurred, but the TV only started working two hours later. This delay was frustrating, especially given the cost of the stay.
