    “The lodge hadn't been cleaned.”

    There were nail clippings on the floor in one of the bedrooms. Hairs on the floor. Hairs on the kitchen tea towel. The lodge itself could be a nice base for a holiday but it was really not clean. I don't think one of the beds had been changed...as we found sea sand and hairs in that too!
