My fiancée and I recently returned from a weekend away at these lodges and we have had a wonderful time.
On arrival we were greeted by Gary who escorted us to our lodge, the Liscombe. He was very helpful and thorough in explaining how the hot tub, electric and heating all worked. He also told us about the additional facilities at the complex, i.e the games rooms with pool table, table football, air hockey tablet and TV which shows all the premiership matches. He also advised of the gym and leisure facilities which hosts a swimming pool, sauna and steam room. He also explained that you can privately hire the leisure facility for a small fee where you can have the use of the swimming pool and either the sauna or steam room for 2 hours. Gary also gave some local information regarding shops and pubs and also the local Indian take away where you can order and they deliver to the car park.
The lodge itself was very clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We were told all lodges had just been given a new bathroom and the kitchens are scheduled for a face lift in 2015, however I personal thought the kitchen was perfectly acceptable as it currently is. The design of the lodge was lovely, on 2 levels with the master bedroom up stairs. The bathroom downstairs and open plan lounge and kitchen area.
The outside areas of the lodge were spacious and again well equipped with seating and table, on the balcony at the front and a patio area at the back with the hot tub. The hot tub was superb a great size and situated in such a way that it is completely private from other lodges and guests.
In summary this is a fantastic place to stay for a couples and I'm sure families alike, the accommodation is wonderful and the owners are very friendly and helpful, we will definitely be returning in the future.
Thank you Gary and Diane for a fab stay!
