“Daffodil lodge was an ideal base for exploring the area.”
The setting in the grounds of the Rushpool estate are both beautiful and peaceful. However there are a few things I feel I must comment on: the woodland path that leads to the seafront is extremely steep and very slippery in places, especially when the ground is wet. It should be made clear that it is unsuitable for anyone but the fittest and most able-bodied! My husband took the dog along the path for a short distance and came back as it was too slippy to go any further. In the description of the lodges it states that each one has a private patio and whilst, to an extent, this is true, they are not completely enclosed, meaning that if you have a dog with you, it cannot be let out of the lodge unless taken out on the lead. It may sound like laziness on the owner's part but it would be much better if the patio was completely enclosed so that a pet can go outside without having to be taken out all the time, especially first thing in the morning and last thing at night.
The lodge itself was clean and comfortable with a fantastic shower and a good heating system. The utility room was very handy but would benefit from having a sink. The kitchen was equipped with the essential crockery and utensils but that was all and the hob and oven were very slow to warm up making cooking a very slow process, even for a bacon sandwich! I'm sure that in "normal" times this wouldn't be such an issue but as eating out isn't really an option at the moment it was a bit frustrating that cooking took such a long time and with very little equipment to utilise.
Overall we enjoyed our break in this lovely area and would return but not necessarily to these lodges, unless some changes were made to them. There are cottages in the area with more facilities that can be rented for a similar price.
Many thanks for your feedback. There is no direct footpath from our woods to the seafront that we recommend , we do however inform our guests regarding the council public footpath which we have no control over. Thank you again for the feedback
