very clean lovely outdoor area and hot tub nice little touches coffee machine, snacks crisps biscuits and sweets

Host provided entrance information and had great snacks ready for our visit. The home was very clean and comfortable for our one night stay

We very much enjoyed the stay. The lodge itself was lovely. The living area was very comfy and clean. You can't hear the nearby A1 or any traffic. The park itself was quiet. The running fox nearby is worth a short drive for some afternoon tea. Also Edlingham castle ruins and surrounding areas are pretty. HOT TUB: The hot tub was nice and we used it both nights. Fence around the hot tub was great for privacy. The gap in the fencing makes the hot tub a little too open. Maybe something could help make it more private. I think it probably needs some attention. There was dirt or grit in the bottom / on the seats. For this reason I am not sure how often it is completely emptied and cleaned. I am no hot tub expert and no idea about this but it just seemed a little older or less well kept than other hot tubs I have used. We were still able to use it, it worked ok and it was the reason we chose the lodge. WIFI - We paid for the WiFi as we wanted to be able to call our families and kids while we were away and knew the phone signal would probably be lacking. The WiFi shouldn't be chargeable as it's not very good. Just add the cost in with the lodge cost rather than making it an extra chargeable add on, since its a bit hit and miss. Makes it feel like you're paying for something that is just a bit rubbish to be honest. KITCHEN: Kitchen was well equipped and everything worked. I'm not sure things are washed or checked after previous guests by cleaners. We were asked to wash and dry all dishes prior to leaving, which we did. But when we arrived the mugs weren't well cleaned. Probably down to the previous people staying in the lodge and no checks on this kind of thing. We washed everything again before use. Something to watch out for if you are staying. There are no trays to use in the oven. We looked everywhere. Either trays and / or foil would have been handy for oven food to cook on. Other than that the kitchen was well equipped.
