Lodge had everything we needed to have a relaxed and comfortable stay. The hot tub was great and views were stunning. It's my second time staying here and I organised it for a weekend away with my friends who were so impressed.

Later check out time, 11 would have been better.

We stayed at Hunters Lodge. General - The lodges are quite close together but it still felt nice and hot tub felt private because of the fence. There is a little semi-skimmed milk and teabags / decaf coffee (and some borders biscuits!) if you want a cuppa on a arrival, which was lovely. Bedroom and bathroom - Everything was really clean, bed linen and pillows were so comfy, beds creaked a little so had to be careful not to wake the baby 😂 there were 4 rolls of toilet paper for the 6 of us, bring more depending how long you're staying. Water pressure was pretty good! There are little shampoos/ body washes in the bathroom which was very sweet, also 2 x fluffy towel bathrobes. And more than enough towels for us to use for hot tub and showers. Hot tub - We didn't see any staff at all, you do your own hot tub maintenance which I found a little different as I don't know anything about this! There are a bunch of chemicals and test strips, (plus instructions) one of our party took charge of this which was nice and made sure the chlorine levels were safe. Very important! You have to wait like 30mins after chemicals enter to make sure they are dispersed in the water so just a heads up that you should try do this when everyone is having a rest from the hot tub. Other than that, it stayed nice and hot, there's no roof over but it didn't stop us in the rain! There's a rattan style lounge seating next to hot tub and pillows in a chest outside plus a wee table. And hooks for towels next to hot tub. I emailed asking for a BBQ stand to use during our stay (we had a disposable bbq) but I didn't get a reply but I saw other people brought their own little bbq and use that on the decking so a better plan if you're looking to have a BBQ. You can sign into your netflix/ nowtv on the TV which was nice for movie nights, the WiFi was a bit here and there and often had the buffering circle. But it was fine on the whole.

Covered all above! But not much not to like, it's a fantastic lodge with everything you need for a comfy stay. Ps (this is good also) I ran out of room above, but there's no stripping of the beds malarkey at the end of the trip to stress you out. Just take your rubbish bags out to the bin area and off you go. A fantastic stay!
