My overall experience at the resort was good, but there was one area that really stood out as needing improvement — communication among the staff.
When I arrived, I was told that the lodge I booked was not yet ready. Fortunately, I had also booked a single room, which was available, so I was able to do an early check-in. However, when I called ahead before my stay, I was told that early check-in was available anytime, with no mention of the £20 fee or the requirement to arrange early check-in for the lodge in advance.
While it worked out for me this time because I had another room option, other guests might not be so lucky. This kind of unclear communication could easily cause frustration or inconvenience for someone arriving after a long journey.

Needless to say we did not go back in the bistro the next night as we were really disappointed as we did not want to risk a repeat and eat...
Read more1st time eating here and it was from a recommendation. The waitress who greeted us was pleasant polite and helpful as we had not booked - think her name was Kaitlyn?? We ordered soft drinks and a selection of starters. The food was well presented although I had expected the beef brisket nachos to come all together not separately-also the beef brisket was watery and tasted of tomatoes and didn't have that beefy brisket flavour. The chicken wings were succulent but soggy skin not nice-was hoping they'd be crisper. The veggie Platter was good as was the garlic mushrooms. The ribs were again soggy rather than sticky n crispy yet succulent meat. Overall the food was good. Service...
