The Dharma Lodge

The room was smaller than I thought.....................

We turned up alot earlier than the time i had said but we were able to go straight to our room. Very secure with codes to all the doors inside and out. We met the owner Sue early afternoon and another lady she was with. They told us about some lovely restaurants around the area and there were plenty of places to eat. Sue is such a lovely welcoming lady and would go out of her way for you for anything. The room was very clean and tidy. The linen was fresh and that was all you could smell in the room which was nice. I would recommend this lodge to anybody who wants a nice clean safe place to stay. Thank you Dharma lodge for a wonderful stay and hopefully we will see you again. Kate Yarwood

Check in was a fiasco, when we arrived there was no-one around so we ended up having to phone someone. We didn't get asked for any security details, were given the key code to get in & told our room key was in a plant pot!! Reception was 1 room & the bedrooms were in a completely building. Depite being advertised as a b&b, breakfast was not available. We only found this out when I called to ask about a vegetarian breakfast. The room was very basic & dated. The bathroom was a joke & was about 3ftx6ft . It had a sliding door which only opened about 1/3 of the way as it was broken. The shower had 1 temperature, scalding hot. There was a weird locked door in the room which we had no idea where it went, apart from seemingly the back of the church hall. It made us feel nervous that someone could potentially come in from that door without us knowing. Not worth £60, never mind £160.
