North Lodge Review
A very pleasant long weekend at North Lodge. Location is peaceful but well located, plenty of amenities nearby. The house is cute and full of character. The kitchen/diner is a particularly nice space with patio doors out to the pretty little garden with mature shrubs and seating area. The kitchen is very well appointed. The bathroom would benefit from a bin and unit/stand to put products/wash bags on when in the bath. A few hangers in both the double bedrooms would be handy. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels provided. The third bedroom is tiny and is really only suitable for young children as the twin beds are very small. Outside, the house could do with some TLC to bring it back to top condition. The shrubs need tending/cutting back especially along the drive as it is narrow at one point and would make access/turning easier. There are slipped roof tiles (one fell onto the patio during our stay) which, if not repaired may result in water penetrating the building. The external paintwork is in poor condition and there is no door on the porch (unlike in the photograph) which, if it were replaced, would enhance the look of the property entrance. Also, the front gates are broken/neglected. If these were repaired it would make the property/garden secure (helpful with dogs)! Would happily return but the house deserves a bit more love and some repairs which would enhance it enormously.
