Summary: The views are stunning, the local town is lovely. The first look of badgers view we were so excited. Then we entered to hut. It didn’t smell clean, the floors were dirty luckily there was a broom there so I could sweep up the last guests dirt. The kitchen is in much need of a make over, the sides are in awful condition, the fridge is cracked, the floor is all over the place, it’s starting to dip. The floor boards are starting to come apart this is due to the damp. The whole kitchen looked dirty. The bedroom with the door on the front was perfectly fine, the other bedroom with the window was fine but the window didn’t open with the key being missing, this is surely an emergency exit hazard. The bedroom with the bunkbeds needed the floors sweeping, the top bunk mattress was miles to small for the bed so there was a pillow put in the gap to cover it. Down the hall was there was a mat covering a whole in the floor, it was felt straight away. The floor through out felt like it was sinking. You can see where the whole hut has sunk by how the doors are now hanging, the cracks up high in the bathroom and hall way. For how much it cost to stay for the weekend it think it’s general maintenance should be kept up. Also there’s no way the hot tub is emptied and refilled between guests. All in all, a bit disappointing with the accommodation but the views and surrounding areas are lovely.
