Spent weekend with half the lights not operational. Asked for replacements got none. Booked for 2. Specified non couple. Got 1 bed. No blankets in room. Broken thermostat both heaters: oscillating between 32 & 17 randomly & constantly. Staff did not fix this. 0 degrees overnight, not fun with a broken heater. No various basics like a tea towel. Broken phone. No replacement. Wi-Fi code was wrong & for a different hotel by the same brand. Most of the staff couldn't be bothered with common politeness let alone basic skills in hospitality. The exception was one young man who manned the front desk: he alone did give good customer service. Shower and bath broken. This led to me & the room blasted with arctic and then scolding water. I have rarely had a worse stay in any hotel & I'm deeply disappointed. I've stayed at the hotel previously & enjoyed my stay. I feel utterly ripped off by the weekend.

Lodge room was underwhelming. Clean and well turned over but dated fitiut, no minibar, ave. instant coffee. Bed was good. Restuarant staff helpful but untrained on menu. Food was ok, menu too busy and lacked direction. We would stay again but if i mention it was our wedding anniversay as i did would be nice for that to be acknowledged by hotel.littlethings. Thanks

Room looked budget. Was expecting a suite with tub/spa. Only had shower which Appeared outdated. Booking description advises tub . Marks on walls . Felt like as I had booked via Wotif was given the budget bad room. Pool was freezing my daughter and husband couldn’t stay in for more than a minute. I thought I had booked luxury. Was so disappointed
