Superb stay

Very enjoyable stay for a couple of nights. Had a single bed room that was more than ample. Nice and warm, good amenities, nice hot water and good water pressure. Very friendly staff, breakfast options were great and well made. Highly recommended, I will definitely be back.

It’s ok.

It was very difficult to find the lodge. For some reason it’s not labelled as Melbourne Lodge. If they’d have told me it is the old stables then I’d have probably found it easier. It’s also concerning how fast people were driving around in their golf carts. One guy was going so fast that he actually skidded on the driveway when he tried to turn the corner. I was walking my dog at the time so it’s very disconcerting. The bed was very comfortable. It was hard in the room though because they left the curtains open and all the heat from the sun came into the room. Fortunately, they did provide a fan. The hand tail had an undesirable hair on it, so that was a bit gross. The whole place is basically a golf course so I get the impression that their golf course is more important to them than the lodgings. The grounds are beautiful, but it’s a bit confusing as to wear you’re allowed to take your dog and what is the golf course and what is an actual footpath.

Reading some of the reviews ahead of our visit, we were a little concerned after we’d made our booking but we needn’t have been concerned! The staff we met with during our stay were very helpful, welcoming and friendly. Our room, although it looked a little tired, it was very spacious, clean and comfortable - and served its purpose for exactly what we needed (just an overnight stay whilst we visited friends in the area). Whilst some refurbishment is needed of the bedroom and bathroom, we found the cost we paid for the room reflected this, so did not feel we were overcharged for something we didn’t receive. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the area extremely quiet! We enjoyed our stay…just wish the weather had been better so we could walk around and enjoy the grounds!!

2 night stay, there was no restaurant facilities available after 17.30 on the first night so had to dine early. Second night dined at the local pub. Only 1 teabag each night! Rooms quiet which would be expected in the middle of a golf course in winter. Nothing to do on the complex probably due to the time of year.

100% id stay again.

Absolutely lovely place to stay, the only let down was that although i booked a double bed room the bed wasn't a full size double and the quilt wasn't large enough to cover me completely, the saving grace was the additional banket on the bed. I will stay again but will ensure i communicate with them prior to my stay to ensure they accommodate my 6,4" needs. another positive was the fact i could shower without having to Squat under the shower head. which is often a problem in some of the larger chain hotels.
