Friendly welcome, comfortable bed, nice dinner & breakfast. Cold room which didn’t bother me really BUT a really poor shower which is always a big disappointment, electric with lack of pressure and very inconsistent temperature … scalding or baltic!

Overall very good although the breakfast was a little disappointing. Our room was lovely and very comfortable and the overall decor of the lodge was excellent. The lady on reception was very friendly and helpful. We shall be visiting again.

To arrive for early check in and the receptionist didn’t know we’d booked early check in despite ringing days before. Paid and still our room wasn’t ready in time. In the reception there was a Labrador lovely, but spitting up food all on the floor and wasn’t cleared up at all. Food wasn’t great, greasy cold breakfast. Not a place I would return to for the price.

Disappointing

Unwelcoming front desk, depressing bedroom - my daughter had a single bed in a windowless room - quite unlike photos on the website, claustrophobic bathroom, unpleasant smell to the room's entrance. Hope to never go back.

Nightmare

Constantly awoken in the middle of the night by the owner and staff members shouting and arguing outside room. Apparently staff member had thrown cutlery in the bin and there was a huge argument with shouting. Next night around midnight owner was at it again, this time calling his dog in. After this more raised voices between staff!

You can do better than this

Do not stay in the annex. It has a damp and musty smell - most unpleasant. It is an old building but this is unacceptable. They told me that no one has mentioned it before but I see (belatedly) it has been mentioned in other reviews. After complaining twice, they did move me for the second night to a better room and only partially refunded me for the third night when they could not accommodate me in a different room. Save yourself the grief and stay at Dukeries.
