A timeshare exchange into lodge 31 staying with friends ie two couples. The main part of the lodge on the ground floor is reasonably spacious although the dining room table could be a bit bigger for four adults. The second bedroom upstairs was 'different! The stairs are v.v. narrow, ceilings v.low and single beds tiny. I am 5ft 4 and small. Husband is not much bigger but for anyone else larger or wide this would have been impossible, two basins upstairs but needs towel rail and two mirrors . Heating is by storage heaters and convector heaters which are almost impossible to control in our quirky English weather! Area and grounds of resort all well cared for. No Wi-Fi in lodge yet but told that it is all being upgraded along with spa and swimming pool which were closed for renovation. We were give £100 voucher to use in Blossoms the restaurant. We didn't actually get round to visiting the restaurant for various reasons. Menu seemed a bit pricey and minimal. Decor was a bit ritzy which didn't really go with the surroundings. Surroundings are beautiful on the lake shore. Loads of birds, rabbits squirrels, sheep, owls and I'm sure a lot more. A bit hilly for some with step access. A car is definitely needed as lots of lovely places to visit. A good place to stay with a few drawbacks but not a major issue.

We booked a ”Superior” room with lake view. It's true there was a good view of the lake through the window, but the window was small, incidental part of the room and suffered with condensation. There was nothing superior about the room - it had a damp musty smell and a generally tired look. On the plus side the bed was warm, clean and comfortable with good pillows. The corridor to the room had an air ”freshener” in it, I assume to mask the smell of dampness. It was turned up so high the air was barely breathable. The bathroom was also tired and had a warning about not burning yourself in the shower. This was clearly because the shower was not fitted with a thermostatic control. Although the hot water was fine in the evening, it was too cool to wash in by the morning so the warning was irrelevant! For dinner, the Lamb Shank and Chilean Merlot were very nice. As was the chocolate pear tartlet and raspberry sorbet. The salmon and its sauce were however uninspiring. The dining room was just a bit too bright and a bit too cold for a really comfortable meal though. The staff were always friendly and helpful. We were given a reduction for the hot water being cool water, but overall this stay was just not value for money.
