Park Lodge

The room was dark and outdated, the bed was comfortable although it did require cushions behind the headboard as the frame was loose! No nets in bedroom for privacy and daylight. Lots of dust and cobwebs around room and bathroom. The most noticeable complaint was the water pump/macerator noise was horrendous! If you expected an early night and peaceful sleep you better hope it doesn’t activate or the rooms around you don’t activate theirs! I’ve never been woken up so much, it was that bad that by midnight on my last night I packed my bags and left for home. I would never recommend staying here unfortunately. The breakfast was ok, maybe a choice of eggs and an extra sausage would be nice.

Great BnB. Martin is a great host and his signature "breakfast " will keep you going the whole day. Situated near the North Camp village, which has most places that you would need. The local pub is a real gem, and a 5 minute walk. The lodge doesn't really cater for holiday makers, more for reps etc. 2 Train stations nearby.

I planned to stay here for a week at the beginning of a project, and I ended up staying for seven. There was no need to change. Parklodge is a simple, straight-forward business that allows Martin the owner to live and raise his family next-door while running a full-house during the week. The rooms are clean, the clientele friendly, the beds comfy and the breakfast excellent. It biases male and slightly older, but that's fine. Martin will look after you, and you will get your business done.

My partner, young'n and I stayed at park lodge to visit family and see the area - and our stay at Park Lodge was a high-point of the trip. Martin is a gregarious and welcoming host and we felt as though invited to stay with a good friend. It must be mentioned that Martin treated us to - what is probably - the best english fry-up we have every enjoyed, and dippy eggs now have become a weekend staple at home, thanks to him. It is a pleasent area to explore and plenty of good eating to be found. Do yourself a favor and visit! We can't recommend it enough.
