    Privacy felt lacked when we had people coming back and forth to the squash court. We did have someone walk through the gate in the picnic area whilst we were having breakfast and asked how long we were staying. We also could have done with a sink in the accommodation

    Love the quiet location and use of bbq and hot tube

    No coffee for the morning, was dried up old stuff in the pot. The bed was uncomfortable and the springs stuck in my rib cage No internal lock on the door so felt a little unsafe Noise of the large vehicles at 6:30am coming into the storage containers right next to the cabin No signal or wifi at the property The rats running around was concerning as we sat outside

    The hot tub was lovely Barbecue was good apart from how much smoke comes out of it (definitely needs a good clean) Seating area nice and spacious Music device great Lighting outside gives a lovely atmosphere at night

    We would have liked the toilet/bathroom to have been in the lodge or around it . We would have also liked a water source closer and milk to make hot drinks

    We loved the location and scenery , it was very peaceful and we also liked that we were just left unbothered.

    could have more ambient lighting outside in the scenery but thats personal choice, the owner could definitely make great use of the empty lodge type building next to it for larger groups to stay.

    so when we arrived we wondered what the hell we had done booking this place, we were in an industrial car park with big metal container warehouses either side of us! There was a little door in the corner that looked like a corridor to be murdered in! We walked down the corridor and it opened up at the back to the lodge and it was like walking out into a different world!! lodge and hot tub in front and gorgeous scenery around, we unfortunately couldnt use the firepit because of bad rain, we had a lovely BBQ and then got in the hot tub! Everything you needed was in the lodge, plates, cutlery, glasses, little fridge, small cooker and i could have sworn i seen a mini air-fryer in the cupboard. It was spotless, and also very cosy, the toilets were 30 steps away and were also very clean! Owner was just on other end of the phone and very helpful!

    That there wasn't a lock on the shower room door, Altho I did feel safe. But would of been helpfull to have a sign on the outside to flip over to say it is being used by lodge guest. Also I supplied my own toilet paper

    Liked the layout of the lodge inside and out. The hot tub/Jacuzzi was amazing. Will stay again

    The lack of information, so a good half hour searching for the place then the facilities.

    Lovely secluded lodge. Very hard to find as no name and map on website takes you to the wrong place. Would have been good to have known about the toilet facilities being in the barn opposite with the squash court and bar Was lovely and quirky place to stay but without being told by a squash player who was just leaving we would never have known.

    The dog being walked through when we was meant to be staying so they could use the field. A member of public using the squash facility just walking into the area we booked. Dog barking. Toilet facilities being in a separate unit and lighting was poor. The spiders and lack of cleaning facilities in general. No sink to wash up after bbq use. Fridge not cold and small. Bed hard. Coat hangers not stuck on wall. Parking location not specific and quite hard to find. No milk provided for hot drinks. Never really felt like you was alone.

    The hot tub was really nice, the location was peaceful. The use of the bbq was good and the pub added and facilities were enjoyable if you like squash. The outside was pretty and well decorated.

    Shared access with whoever is using the Squash Court isn’t ideal. Also the toilet/shower facilities are shared with the squash court which was bizarre and they could have done with a good clean. Big yellow corridor could do with a good clean and the windows need to be privacy glass

    There were No sign posts it was only by luck we found the property. The toilet facility was in a separate block which was very smelly due to there being g a squash court attached.

    The hot tub was filthy The bbq was filthy and didn’t work. The toilets and shower were down a corridor and bulb had gone! The pub was abandoned and messy and dirty The owner was not around and would not come to fix the situation so we went home and did not stay here! Absolutely awful and I’m shocked it has good reviews!

    The room itself looked nice and clean

    It wasnt clean. The shared bathroom is inside a public squash court. You have to access it via the squash court too. It is an overgrown back garden basically, junk everywhere, so unsafe. People can access it at any point, so not a private area. The hot tub was warm at best. No fire wood provided. The BBQ wasn't connected and no information on how to connect it either. Again messages were ignored. No games room as advertised. Patio door was screwed shut. No sink or outdoor tap to wash dishes or obtain drinking water. Heater on the wall doesn't work. It is misrepresented on this site. I have contacted Joe and raised all of my concerns and asked for a refund.

    Do not book this place. The host rips you off. It's hard to find because there are no signs, he doesn't send you access instructions and then he ignores your phone calls and messages for ages. The neighbours obviously get disturbed multiple times, because they instantly knew where we were looking for when we stumbled down there driveway after getting lost. I feel very sorry for them.
