Facilities and maintenance

Nice orka pod/ chalet, comfy enough but few minor changes could improve it.

Need grab rail in shower and bath . Cooker is hard to see oven controls I had to put torch on phone to see it. Huge dusty out of shape plant in lounge unnecessary. Windows were filthy ,not been cleaned in long time. We had slight issue with heating but didn’t want professional called out. Nice touch with welcome pack but would prefer to have had a little washing up liquid and another 2 dish tabs,. Grounds really need some lighting for dark nights,not suitable to walk around.. Overall comfy beds and very quiet place to stay ,within easy reach of Dumfries castle Douglas etc..

Cabin was very nice, modern and clean.

Plenty outdoor space to relax,decking at the front/back of the cabin plus seating. Gated so dogs can stay out with not run off. Definitely need to travel by car for anything as nothing on site. Could have had a mirror in the bedroom with the ensuite as a large light up mirror in the ensuite but no plug points to plug hairdryer etc into. Plenty plug points in the room to use any appliances but no mirror which would have helped.
