    “• The lodge offered comfortable beds, nice bathrooms, a spacious living room, kitchen with amenities, and a lovely hot tub.”

    • However, cleanliness was an issue, with hair found in drawers and on lamps, rusted blinds, mold in the shower, and a dirty hot tub. • The on-site "shop" was poorly stocked, and staff seemed disengaged. No time for when they came to check the hot tub, they would turn up randomly without no notification ans all they did was open and close the lid. They cleaned there dirty cloths etc in the 2 washing machines and 2 tumble dryer that guess use to clean there clothes. • Internet speed ...
