What I didn't like was the dinner I was served at the restaurant attached to the Lodge. It was a roast lamb with roast veges that were burnt to a crisp including the lamb. Everything on the plate was black except the mashed potatoes which were fine and the gravy. I ate the meal because I was starving and it took over 1/2 hour of waiting for it. I have never had roast lamb that was black and roasted to a crisp!

Staff was very friendly. However, a continental breakfast was includedFrom 7 am to 10. The 2nd day nothing had been restocked and it took until almost 9 am for them to do do. Also, the restaurant service was slow. It took almost an 1 1/2 hours to get food. On the 2nd night there was a rugby game and the front desk never told us to make reservations anywhere in advance. We had to put dinner together for my two kids from the grocery store.
