Wayside Lodge Reviews

Shareen
The site managers were lovely especially the male, both were approachable and friendly. The accommodation was warm and comfortable. There were no accessible hoover, brush or mop to be able to clean. We took our dog and it would have been nice to have been able to clean the floor after our walks. The Hot tub smelled very strong of cloreen that it stung our eyes, we even told them not to attend to it for the last 2 days. During our week stay we only used the Hot tub 3 times which was part of the reason for booking that location. When the jets were on in the Hot tub black bits came out and were floating about, we even had to buy a net to try to clean the black bits out. When we arrived we were informed that the games room and bar area was closed. This was disappointing as we had two 12 year olds with us who was looking forward to the games room. We were left a folder with how to work things in the accommodation, however the Wifi code never worked to either of the log ins given resulting in two very board children. The Sky TV was our saving although this was still limited. The log fire was lovely but again there were nothing to light it with and we had to go a purchase a lighter to light it.
My family including my dog had an amazing stay here. It was very clean and the hot tub was clean and properly maintained too. We did have an issue trying to connect to the WiFi here so we just used our data but Im sure it would have been sorted out if we asked. Also the cabin is on a camping site which wasnt stated on Sykes site, but that wasnt a problem as it was nice and quiet in the evenings. We also discovered a wasp nest at the back of the cabin which we brought to the attention of Ian the owner So all in all we had great break away and would definitely go back again.
