“We visited the same lodge last year.”
This year it was evident that it needed a bit of maintenance and upgrading. The coffee table had been replaced by a more than cheap and flimsy plastic MDF one which stained within a minute of putting a glass of wine on it. The oven nob on the cooker did not work, and the dial shows the oven is on when it is off. - this is dangerous, if I had turned the nob to 0 'off' then it would have been pumping gas out. The carpet is now thread bare and fraying in different areas, and the kitchen worktop is taped up with cello tape. The lodge is comfortable and clean, and I appreciate being able to bring a dog, especially to the lake District with so many lovely walks, however I think I would book a different lodge in future as this one is now getting to the point it's not worth the money paid unless some cash is spent on it to improve these things.
Hi. Sorry some things weren't quite right for you. We did leave a note saying that a new carpet was ordered. The small, coin-sized, bare patch was due to a dog clawing it. We had to replace a broken coffee table at short notice. The oven was just three weeks old when someone managed to break a knob. it was NOT unsafe - as an engineer confirmed. The worktop joint has had to be protected following a poor fitting (sadly out of warranty).
