The lodge's location is truly picturesque, nestled in a serene woodland area that provides lovely walks and a peaceful atmosphere. Unfortunately, the cleanliness and upkeep of the facilities left much to be desired, as I encountered issues like damp odors and broken amenities. While the friendly staff were present, they seemed overwhelmed, and I felt disappointed with the overall state of the place compared to previous visits.
