The lodge was very clean and well proportioned with and the kitchen had all of the equipment and utensils that we required. As the weather was not favourable, the outside areas were not used. The decking and furnitture looked good but by the time we returned from our exploration it was getting dark and getting indoors was more important.

Hmm, where to start with this review. There are two important bits of information that should have described in bold and on the important information category. This information was in the 83 amenities list and under notes. One ,we need to provide anywhere from 1 or more for heating. We found out about this after making the second payment and the PDF we received days prior to our arrival. Later i saw its in the notes under the 83 amenities category, it was buried in the listing. There is a section with important information that doesn't say a thing about this. Second, we had to bring our own towels, not provided at all. Again, under the notes part of the 83 amenities section. Not in the important information section at the front of the listing. I understand pets are allowed but there was dog hair all over the place, its as no ine Hoovered at all. The beds were hard as a rock,like sleeping on the floor. The wifi could of been better, it was hard to stream anything at the end of our day. Most places to visit closed at 5pm so we were back having dinner and unwinding. But with kids it was rough with WiFi being spotty. Oh the hot water needs to be fixed. We found out the first night and second night that four people can't take showers in one single night. I ended up taking a Navy Shower both nights. It was mighty cold, so we staggered the showers two at night and two in the morning, which cut in to our time to get out and see the sights. As I said needs some work for 5 stars.
