Fireside Lodge

Fireside Lodge

8/10 Good
"Room 22 was clean, rather noisy though. It could do with new carpet, it’s rather old & worn. Refrigerator, Microwave and TV were all great! Didn’t use the fireplace, it was a new ce option to have if needed. Would have preferred a ground floor room though!! Easy area to walk around in. Appreciate that it’s pet-friendly, especially that they don’t overcharge as many of the other places are way too expensive! That was the main reason why we chose Fireside Lodge I want to say the staff were helpful and very kind. We will definitely stay here again"
