The Old Lodge

Great time for a stay between Christmas

Room was not very clean and an infestation of ladybirds emerged on the second night of my stay. Unfortunately after drawing this to the attention of staff writing to the Manager about this I have had no reply.

The bed was broken with around 5 slats on the floor which I didn’t notice until late when going to bed. I slept on the other side as didn’t want to complain around 11pm. Told the lady upon checking out and she said the manageresss would call me. 72 hours later, still nothing

Booked through Hotel.com. The photos give you an impression that you are staying in a lovely old building with nice grounds surrounding it, but in the small print. You are actually in a building 100 metres down the road near the town. You can drive down and drop off luggage but will need to return car to hotel car park. The path was closed due to utility repairs, so you had to walk on the road . The front entrance had no lighting so needed to use light on phone to go down steps. While carrying all my luggage. The drain at entrance also had a slight smell of sewage. The room was a good size. TV very small. Room was clean but paint peeling off one corner and carpet badly marked. WI-FI was terrible in room and lounge room. My room was next to road and was quite busy and noisy. Actually didn’t use it in the end as it was so bad. Layout of building not well indicated. Entrance to main hotel very tight and not lit very well. Original entrance closed. Never went to main hotel to check out restaurant and bar as it was quicker to walk into the town. When I complained (politely) on arrival the receptionist passed me the key and directions (bad photocopy) and just walked off. Probably fed up of complaints as the two people before me were asking for there rooms to be changed. Very disappointing experience.

Beautiful room
