Snaptrip says
Guests have had overwhelmingly positive experiences at Waterside Lodge, praising its peaceful setting, wildlife views, and the luxury of a large hot tub. The lodge's cleanliness and comfort are consistently highlighted, alongside the convenience of a well-equipped space and thoughtful touches like a selection of games and DVDs. The location is appreciated for its proximity to local amenities and the sea air of nearby beaches. While there was an isolated issue with a cleaning charge, this does not detract from the overall excellent impression of the lodge.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The lodge is generally described as very clean and well-maintained, with guests feeling comfortable upon arrival. One complaint about a cleaning charge following a stay suggests expectations for guest tidiness may not be clear, but this seems an exception rather than the rule.
The location is highly regarded for its tranquillity, views of a pond with wildlife, and accessibility to local facilities and beaches. The convenience of the setting contributes significantly to the guests' enjoyment.
Guests find the lodge very comfortable, with special mentions of a homely feel, an en-suite bathroom, and outdoor seating. The presence of a hot tub adds to the overall comfort and luxury of the stay.
Facilities like the swimming pool, gym, and restaurant are available for a fee and are well-received. The lodge itself is equipped with games and DVDs, enhancing the stay. However, the lack of included pool access and the need for clearer information on local transport slightly affect the score.
While the reviews mention the provision of games, DVDs, and a helpful manual with local information, there is no mention of gifts. Therefore, it is not possible to score this category based on the provided information.

The lodge was very comfortable and clean and overlooked a pond with plenty of wildlife.Despite the dodgy weather we managed to use the hot tub which was very nice.The restaurant/pub is literally across the road and does an excellent breakfast.Onsite there is a swimming pool and gym which can be used for a small fee.Overall our stay at the Waterside lodge was excellent and relaxing and we will definitely be rebooking to stay here again.

I was sent a picture of the bed not made, some crumbs on the carpet and a bowl to be washed and a bag of rubbish. Surely when every person checks out of the lodge you get it deep cleaned surely thatâs in the price you pay when booking? Surely you Wash/change the bedding? & Sanitise all the kitchen, bedrooms bathroom? Surely you donât rely on the people renting the lodge to make sure itâs at a high cleaning standard for the people next checking in? As thatâs very very unhygienic & you should be getting the lodge deep cleaned after every stay! I came away with my 4 year daughter whoâs currently on chemotherapy & my son whoâs 8 to have a few days respite between my daughters treatments I thought we could go away and enjoy some time together we rushed back the morning of check out and left a couple of bowls to be washed & beds not made and a bag to be disposed and we have been charged £180 I find this disgusting. I have never stayed anywhere where I have been left responsible for cleaning the property to an inch of it life before checking out. When booking there is nowhere that states if I donât clean the lodge I will be charged. It says if there is damage I will be charged and there was no damage to the property! I expect cleaning fee to be returned to my account immediately.
