I was disappointed with the area and the Lodge.
Not having en-suite
was not for me. Greeting was really good. The room was clean and comfortable. Just not for me. Sorry.
The owner of The Lodge was very welcoming providing me with good information on how to find the place. My room was well equipped with TV, Fridge and Kettle plus storage for clothing if I needed to use it. The site also has ample parking. Although miles from other places, it's a quiet location and quite a hidden gem. It doesn't take long to get back to the Chatham area.
It was an interesting drive, a bit like a science fiction film.
I could see there was something massive and well lit up in the distance. Eventually I found Grain, a village in the middle of nowhere. I found a fish & chip shop. The lodge was quite and nice and I slept well.
Although the property needs some renovating and a bit of paint in places it was VERY clean. Nice welcome. Very quiet - not just the area but the property was as well. Would have been nice to have a served breakfast even if just continental.
Bed was good. Parking easy. A good base to visit the area.
Basic but comfortable, everything worked fine. Nice quiet area with shop and takeaways close by. We wanted a place far away from the city and this was just right with long walks in and around the area. For those looking for a luxury stay and nightlife this is not for you.
Uncomplicated, cozy and clean. The location is priceless with beautiful footpaths along the coast line. The town has also a nice local pub. Henry was very accommodating and provided suggestions of places to visit. Definitely recommend!
