Two out of three showers broken, no towels in the kitchen, unpleasant smell in the rooms, looks nothing like photos.

Great spot! Only spent one night here but would have happily spent a few more. The lodge had a very homely feel and had great facilities which included a large TV room with a large selection of DVD's to watch. Would definitely recommend!
