Won't be going back !!
Pros:

Location was ideal as we had a wedding nearby.

Cons:

Poorly run! Fawlty Towers comes to mind .
Easter Sunday after travelling 5 hours to get to the lodge we were told they stop serving food at 4pm , not sure what you are meant to do as there's nothing much near.
Breakfast was bad ! Cooked breakfast was meant to start at 8.30 ...9.15 still waiting for it to begin.
Out came a canteen metal serving trolley , half the serving sections were empty ...just lids on sections.
Very poor selection, cold plates and mouldy bread which you had to help yourself to out of the plastic bag it came in.
Rotten bananas and awful selection from what was described as the continental breakfast .

Superb Stay
Pros:

The staff are young, energetic and very well trained in hospitality. They are genuinely friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The only downside was due to inconsiderate guests in an upstairs room. A polite notice in the rooms to suggest consideration to other guests might be of use.
