A hidden gem .... we booked one of the suite rooms ... spa on the outside balcony, spa in the bathroom ... gas fire in the lounging area and a bed that was just brilliant ... highly recommend it. Did not get to sample the restaurant however I suspect it was as good as the rest of the lodge.

Two joint single beds given instead of one king bed. Both single beds deep from the middle and caused us back pain.

I must admit for a 5star hotel the service was slow, we waited 45 mins to be checked (check in was at 3) and then waited 50mins for our dessert after dinner. The room itself was unclean, the tv would not work as it kept shutting off. The cutlery in room was dirty and surfaces hadn’t been wiped/coffee spills ect Apart from that the staff were friendly and the spa was great. I would book again however would need to be more thorough with the clean.

Was looking forward to the 2 spa facilities but very disappointed, Indoor spa bath in need of a good clean, jets were turned on lots of brown flakes blew into the bath, was filled 3 times and still had brown floaties was pretty gross and wasnt used. The outdoor spa was better but had hair floating around and also clinging to the filter. Face cloth was obviously stained. Bed blankets had stains. On arrival bed was made pretty poorly. Fridge was not cooling no matter what setting it was on. Was disappointed about both spas as that was the draw card for us. Great views from the room & quiet surrounds.
