Last time we stayed here I gave it a deserved 5 star review. Even though we have marked it down slightly this time it is still really a 5 star lodge and I would certainly stay here again and thoroughly recommend it. The reason we have marked it down slightly this time is because we had a few problems. The first problem we had was that we could not get the gas cooker hobs to light. This was on a Sunday. We reported this but were told they couldn't come out on a Sunday and to use a match to light the hobs. This didn't work. We then left the day. When we returned we found the heating wasn't working. We did not report this until the Monday morning when we were leaving. In hindsight we should have done so on Sunday, the reason we didn't was because when we had reported the Hob we had been told they couldn't come out on Sunday. We therefore thought the same would apply to the heating. Finally when we got up on Monday morning we found there was no hot water so could not have a shower. I have since been told they checked the Hob after we left and it was working perfectly. So it's a mystery why it wouldn't work on Sunday or Monday morning. (We had used it on Saturday). They also told us the heating needed a simple reset and if we had told them they would have fixed it. I acknowledge that we should have reported it on Sunday but I have explained why we didn't. In conclusion I would still recommend this lodge. I am sure these problems will be ironed out for us, if we stayed there again, and for any future guests. (Maybe a note regarding the reset of the heating & hot water for guests)
Thank you for your review and raising a few things with us, Carole. Having checked the issues you kindly raised and no fault found (typical!), we can only apologise. Having said that we will keep a close eye on the hob, and your suggestion for instructions to reset the boiler are noted thank you. We will certainly do all we can to avoid something similar happening in future. Despite these issues we are delighted you would recommend the lodge and would return, and thank you for your ratings! We look forward to welcoming you for another stay soon.

The cabin was lovely inside and beautifully located for the most amazing view! Would definitely stay again. Just one thing to mention was on our last day there was no hot water or heating, but other than that a great stay.
Thank you for your review and ratings, Louisa. We are delighted you had a lovely stay at Walkers Retreat. With that said, we are sorry you had a problem with the heating and hot water. Had you let us know at the time, this would have been quickly resolved for you. We can only assume that as the boiler is checked every changeover day and nothing was brought to our attention, it was a simple adjustment/resetting. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Despite this we are delighted to hear you enjoyed the lodge and the location - thank you for letting us know.
