Stayed over Xmas period and nothing to much trouble Phil made me feel at home .I ended up staying an extra night will be back .

Our stay at the Lodge was without any complaints, the room was clean and the bed was really comfortable which ensured a good nights rest. Full English Breakfast was excellent and the host was more than accomodating! Rooms are adequately furnished and I found the free wi-fi and access to an Ironing Board and Iron really usefull. So also recommendable for a businessman's stay.

Every thing was made very easy and really welcoming. Had great breakfast. Even had extra bacon. Bedroom was really clean. Has a great romantic weekend

Having already stayed on a previous occasion round the corner at the Swandown, where we had a view of the dustbins from our very cramped room, we thought the Lodge looked much better. There was no-one there when we arrived at 5 pm, and we had to wait about 10 minutes for the manager to turn up (apologising profusely).
We stayed in an annexe which had two rooms, which was the only plus as it gave us enough space to put things down. The place was very cluttered with too many bits of furniture. Perhaps it is usually used for someone working locally on a weekly basis as it had a microwave and cutlery and so on, and we were just put in there on a Saturday night while they were back home. That's certainly what it felt like.
The worst thing was the fact that it simply wasn't clean. The floor was very stained, and it certainly had not been vacuumed recently. There were empty sachets of shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom.
The towels were tiny, even for British B&B, but again the extra room was useful as there were some more (tiny) towels in there and we used them too.
Breakfast was ok, but the dining room was very cramped and the paper serviettes were doll-sized.
We did give feedback to the manager, and he did make a note of what we said, but I can't recommend the Lodge to anyone.
