“Lovely lodge with excellent views.”
We will rebook for sure, but have the following suggestions to make it even better.
Provide a couple of coffee tables alongside the settees as there’s no place to put cups while seated. (We used the kitchen dustbin).
Make the garden surrounding the property dog secure. (All 4 gates allow small dogs to enter and escape.) A simpler solution would be to put a gate on the stairs leading up to the lodge. This would allow dog owners to let their dogs out on the verandah with no risk of escape. As it ...

Consider satellite internet (Starlink?) as the current speed is next to useless.
Provide J Clothes/kitchen rolls to wipe down work surfaces.
We couldn’t get the oven to work and there didn’t appear to be any instructions. (The hob worked OK).
Provide more takeaway menus if possible.
The above are not criticisms, just suggestions.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for you feedback and suggestions for improvement which I will be implementing.
1. I’ll add more metal netting to the gates & see if a gate can be added onto of stairs.
Yes, we do need side tables for both ends of both sofas.
2. Internet, yes it’s poor but local reports of the available ‘by air’ systems are ‘iffy’ if we can’t see the hills, the signal won’t get thru - was the same with Sky in the main house which we cancelled! I have had one of my clever daughters chase down a problem with the BT repeater outside the lodge and this has helped, but we’re never going to get cable speeds.
3. The oven, I wish you had mentioned this as it would have been a quick fix - I will copy the manual and put it in the Lodge.
4. Yes, more cleaning items.
5. I’ll make a list of the local take-away places with phone, sat nav and internet links.
Once again, thank you for being so positive in this welcome feedback.
Warm regards,
Keith.
