I’m sorry to say that this property did not live up to our expectations, the description did not mention the lodge was very close to a main away road therefore there was a constant noise of passing traffic. The lodge was in a very shaded area so there was very little light leaving it feeling very cold and dark. The outside area was dirty the decking had not been swept and the outside furniture had to be cleaned before we could use it.
As for the inside it needed completely updating , and a VERY deep clean, there were cobwebs covering the main bedroom window so obviously it had not been opened to air the room out from the last occupants ( covid ). The kitchen had not had a deep clean , food still on the hanging serving spoon, oven dirty, kettle not clean , I was unable to use the dishwasher because it felt unclean due to tea and food stains on the door ledge .
In the bedroom I found on leaving that the bed had not got a mattress protector on it , just a sheet. The pillows were old and shapeless .
Over all it just felt unclean.
No BBQ , it was supposed to have been replaced in June .
