Too noisy and disappointing

6.0

It is a lovely location but noisy with cars coming and going most off the night

Very noisy most of the night and then it started again at 7am as it’s a public carpark beside number 1 car doors slamming and people talking constantly .Very expensive at £344 for what it was I cud have stayed at the galgorm cheaper and have the spa experience all day not just 45 mins in the hot tub. I booked this last min for my daughter who is in the navy and got home this week on leave and her words was I might as well be on ship with that noise all night. We were both disappointed with this experience at this property. We like to check out different places but this has been the worse so far.

Lovely little lodges, very clean and comfortable and great location. However very little privacy/security in the rea

7.0

Location is absolutely perfect, 5 minute walk from the local town with bars & pubs, but surrounded in nature at the accommodation. Apartment was spotless and tidy, with plenty of towels provided. Beds were comfortable and clean. Hot tub was great size and had a lovely patio area with lovely flowers.

Limited cooking facilities, I did see a review TikTok stating an airfryer was available so we brought appropriate food, but there wasn’t one there when we arrived. Vending machine was also pretty much empty bar 1 can option and 1 chocolate bar, and turned off so was warm. Although out of the hosts control, we had a very unsettling experience with a male guest from a separate lodge creeping around our cabin late at night in the dark while we were using the hot tub, peeping through the fence and watching. There is very limited lighting around the garden area at night (understandably due to nature area), however with the open access of the garden/patio area, it can lead to a situation like what we had experience. My partner spotted this man through the fence, and when we startled us he left, however still a very very unsettling end to our stay with our young child. There was also a concert happening in the grounds on the opposite side of the river bank which played late until 11.30pm at night and all throughout the day, which defeated the purpose of our relaxing nature stay. We would have preferred some advance notice about this, especially considering the price.
