Thistle Lodge - Quiet Garden lodge with off road parking

Clean, comfortable and quiet

Nothing

This is the perfect stay. The quietness, the little details, from the orange juice and fresh milk, but the quality of everything, from the throws, the cushions, the towels, and especially the duvet. Absolutely perfect, could not have asked for more. To the point we will DEFINITLEY be booking again. So pleased we found this little slice of heaven during a much needed time. Thank you Sophie and Neil.

Nothing we didn't like. Cannot fault.

Quiet, secluded outhouse with separate entrance. Cool and modern decoration and facilities

Was a very pleasant stay. Didn’t have an oven/hob top but microwave was fine for a few days

It was an ideal location for why we were up there & had everything we needed. It was great that we could come & go as we pleased. Having milk etc in the fridge & snacks was a nice touch.

Unfortunately, we were really disappointed with the cleanliness of the lodge. I know it's not a 5* hotel but unfortunately there was toothpaste splatter on the bathroom mirror & dribbled down the front of the sink & cupboard. The kitchen sink had bits & coffee in & so did the draining board. The main room floor hadn't been hoovered very well so there was lots of bits on the floor including a shrivelled blueberry that wasn't ours. I went to retrieve a chocolate that I dropped & had rolled under the sofa but there was a lot of dirt under the sofa, it definitely hadn't been moved to be hoovered. The plastic tray with the shower gel etc in was really grubby & so was the extractor fan. The top of the toaster was covered in crumbs & there was food splatter up the splash back behind the sink. I assume the lodge is a little older now so doesn't quite match the photos which I understand & things like the shower, soap dispenser, plastic flowers could do with updating but we chose this place because it has really good reviews, including the cleanliness of it so this is why we were shocked to find this.
