The Red

Loved the stay, we assumed there would be amenities such has shower gel however, the hot tub was lovely the lodge was amazing and having the little walk around the wooded area next to the lodge was fantastic for the dog.

This cabin has the potential to be brilliant. It is in an idyllic setting surrounded by trees and woodland. However, you SERIOUSLY have to get rid of that sofa. Not only was it far too low, but both of us could not sit on it at the same time or we would never have been able to get up! One shelf in a fridge for a self catering property is nowhere near enough room for food etc and there was only one door shelf which was damaged at one end so unusable. There was no heating on when we arrived and the place was freezing. We rang the number given and were advised that Tracey doesnt work there anymore it was now Matt. He came within 30mins and sorted the heating out.

Hmmmmmm... ..Sweeping Cobwebs!! And spider heaven... I used the vacuum and went over every room! Sooo many historic cobwebs. Unfortunately vacuum cleaner useless too...so I can understand why the gaps and edges were not done as nozzle doesn't come apart and it's missing a wheel! I also cleaned the 2 bathroom sinks and toilet as these were dirty. The bathroom radiator towel rails had splash marks too so not cleaned. Blinds in all rooms thick with dust I didn't attempt them! We had a list of issues on arrival...the 2 phone numbers on the wall are useless! One is the old number not even on the network and the other one is an ex partner! Also...Tracy who Sykes recommends to call we also had no reply from! It wasn't until the Wednesday that a couple of maintenance guy's who my husband saw on site eventually did come in and placed 2 new bulbs in cooker hood, mended the window handle on wrong so wasn't locking, battery in the wall clock and correct cable for the dvd player!! It's the attention to detail that's missing in this lodge which is described as a luxury pad for 2! Now...on a plus! Hot tub just lovely, and very private. Bed, very comfortable and huge. Towels supplied lovely. Private Lodge and in a lovely area to explore. Please listen to and act on these issues... I think things have just been missed over time and let slip. A really good spring clean...and a few new bits of furniture I'm sure will make a massive difference to future guests visiting.... And remove the numbers from the wall and update!! Karen

Had such a lovely time would definitely stay again!

So disappointed in the accommodation certainly not as advertised on approaching ... So disappointed in the accommodation certainly not as advertised on approaching the lodge was greeted by an ash tray full of spliffs and ash all up the steps leading to the hot tub hot tub cover ripped and well worn looked rotten even before we entered the lodge once inside no chesterfield as advertised but a small 2 str couch springs gone the table was sticky with cup ring stains fridge hadnt been cleaned and food residue on cutlery so had to wash them all ,in the bathroom toilet was fine but shower tray was yellow with black possibly mould around the rims into the bedroom bath looked great but the springs in the bed had gone and bed had a topper put on to try and make it comfy but it didnt work we had spent 350 for a 2night stay as the advert said comfort and peace and tranquillity and gave the lodge a fantastic write up we found something really different needs upgrading and a new advert written explaining its old and tired and needs upgrading would not stay here again waste of money

We had an amazing stay at the Red! Lodge is very cosy and has everything you might need. Its very quiet so its perfect if you going away to relax. Also, great positive for being dog friendly! Our four legged friend loved it! Will definitely go back.
