Westpoundland View Reviews

John
The inside and outside need thoroughly cleaning. This property was advertised with 2 bathrooms but only one had a shower. The second bathroom needs a shower over the bath or instead of the bath. The windows were filthy and there were lots of pieces of maintenance that were required internally that would improve the aesthetic. The equipment was a biRead moret stingy, 2 dishwasher tablets is a bit mean for a week. There was no vacuum cleaner which is inadequate for a weeks holiday with 4 adults and 3 dogs Hide
Charlotte
We loved our time in Lodge 7! A very peaceful place to stay and the lodge service was fab when we were too lazy to go out. It is in a great location where you can access many places to visit/explore. The lodge itself is clean on arrival - we'd certainly stay here again.
Annette
Lovely location. Excellent accomodation, everything you need is there. Clean and comfortable beds. Lovely bathrooms and towels. The coach house, provides an extensive menu and Sunday lunch is to recommend

Staying for 7 nights it be nice maybe if someone could come in in Tues and change towels so you dont need to call for them especially if used for showers/hot tub.
Margaret
View and surroundings of the lodge were really good, friendly staff, would recommend.
Wendy
We stayed as a family of four - two adults, two children and a dog. It was really good value for money - the lodge is in great condition and has everything you could need for your stay. The location is good, but it is a little drive - 20/30 mins to everywhere we wanted to go - so as long as you dont mind that its a great location. The views from th e lodge and the hot tub are just lovely.
