Location was ok

Pros: Wasnt there long enough to comment.
Cons: Yeah, dont expect people to go into a room when its been newly painted.
Location: No comment, wasnt there for that reason
Unfortunately one of our rooms had been newly painted, definitely not pleasant and I think they should have warned us about this when I first made the booking a month prior. No excuses, they should have let me know. That was very disappointing.

Cons: The weather but that couldn't be helped.
Location: Perfect
Facilities: Home away from home; Value: Affordable; Service: Professional; Cleanliness: Spotless; Only suggestion would be an information pack for the main lodge would be good especially re the DVD's etc. If there was one we didn't see it.
