Cabin with hot tub, a winner
modern decorspacious bedroomsgood dishwashercomfortable sofa bed
The cabin decor was modern. It was warm and cute. The bedrooms were spacious. The en-suite facilities were superb. The kitchen had a decent oven and a large fridge. There was also a good dishwasher. The sofa bed was comfortable. The cabin housed six people easily.
The swimming pool changing rooms smelt a bit of urine.

the woodland areas were quiet and the staff were friendly i suppose.
The luxury lodge i booked looked run down on arrival. It really was tired. the kitchen table felt sticky, and the strong urine smell took my breath away. perhaps thats why our door was wide open when i arrived.
