basic facilities require upkeep

acceptable locationbroken saunalack of maintenance
the location proved acceptable for exploring the surrounding area.
The advertised sauna was non-functional. Staff stated it was broken. this issue was also present during a prior stay two years prior. the lack of maintenance on key amenities is a point of concern. The listing requires updating to reflect accurate facilities.

great location and cozy POD

nice foresteasy accessgood beersshort walk
The forest and lake access near this location worked REALLY well for me. i especially liked loch morlich. It was a short walk. the bar area offered good beers. it was very close and easy to sleep after.
finding dinner was difficult because there were many people and NO open tables. maybe reserving tables for staying guests could help.

The pod has a fridge. I see a microwave, kettle too. Heating kept the room warm all night. My daughter liked the play area and its nearness to the beach near the loch.
The pod was not clean. I think that may be from their age. It is probably not easy to clean now. The heating did not work, it was cold. Staff provided a fan heater and that fixed the issue.
