The lodge was perfect for us, off road parking really good. The garden was lovely but maybe a more secure fence as one of our dogs kept escaping into the neighbouring garden.

Forda Lodge is spacious, light and warm. The bathrooms are clean and modern. There's a nice front garden and plenty of parking space. The area is stunning and it's easy to access beaches and two good pubs about a mile away. Unfortunately we couldn't use the oven as it was very dirty. as were the baking trays. I think a leather wipeable sofa would aRead morelso be a good investment, especially with the property taking 3 dogs. We don't allow our dog on furniture or beds but I know some guests would. Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review, the homeowner was very sorry to hear that the oven wasn't prepared for your arrival, they only wish you had contacted them at the time as they would have been happy to help allowing you to have a more enjoyable stay. They have confirmed that they have spoken to their cleaning team who have taken the appropriate action. Hide
