Strathclyde Self Catering cottage, Woodstock Lodge, Wemyss Bay, sleeps 6

Family sickness from hot tub !
We have just returned from a new year break at this lodge. Halfway through our week long stay four of us contracted folliculitis from high levels of bacteria in the hot tub. We were so sick that we had to cut short our holiday by a day and return home to seek medical advice. We all have painful itchy rashes, fever, sore throats and headaches and have been on antibiotics for the last week ! Obviously we immediately reported this to the owner's John and Paul who then escalated our complaint up to Sykes cottages the holiday company. To date neither are willing to take responsibility for our sickness despite sending them confirmation from our GP and photographs detailing our suffering. Our 9 year old has been covered in painful weepy spots for over 10 days now and was so sick he was unable to enjoy his birthday whilst we were there. Our children were unable to return to school and my husband was unable to return to work due to this. We have asked repeatedly for a refund of our holiday but this has been refused and no one is taking responsibility. The owner's and Sykes have a duty of care to their customers along with public liability to ensure the holidays they sell meet health and safety standards which this has not. We have given both the owner's and Sykes the opportunity to refund our ruined holiday but both have refused so we will be taking legal action against them. Do NOT book this lodge or with Sykes cottages as they do not care about their customer well being or safety.

Woodstock Lodge stay
Woodstock Lodge is a stunning place to stay and for both of us is one of the best places we have stayed in our lifetime. It felt like home and the attention to detail that John and Paul have put in is so thoughtful. The location in Wemyss Bay is perfect with a stunning views where you can see beautiful sunsets and the Ferry Crossing over at different time's.It is a place that we will visit many times again and again.

Can I live here forever?
Well I think my title says it all. I cannot believe something this beautiful actually exists. John and Paul you have created the most stunning lodge and if the lodge itself wasn't just fantastic the extra touches are totally unexpected. From the slippers to the hair wraps for the hot tub and the jelly beans and home made cakes an scones. You are both perfect hosts and it really shows that you want to make people happy and comfortable. The view is stunning perfect sitting on the decking watching the sunset. The entertainment area is a short walk up the steps in-between the other lodges. And not a long walk to the main street either. If you are looking for that relaxing time away then this is definitely for you. I can promise you will not be disappointed. Well done John and Paul you should both be very proud at what you have achieved in this beautiful lodge. Thank you for having us.

Complete relaxation in luxury accommodation!
Stayed at Woodstock Lodge for the weekend & loved it!! Situated just a short stroll from Wemyss Bay in a very quiet private corner of the park. The Lodge is very well equipped with everything you could need. We struggled to think of anything the hosts had missed!! Plenty glassware, crockery & utensils. Very comfortable lounge, dining table for 6, 3 bedrooms (master en suite), spacious deck with outdoor table to enjoy the spectacular views. Full size fridge freezer for keeping drinks cold, dishwasher, microwave, washer dryer .......... it?s all there!! The hot tub is an added luxury & what better way to chill out than with a glass of bubbles in the bubbles!!! Local butcher does a great selection of cheeses & wines & a mean breakfast in the attached bistro Looking forward to going back for another visit.

Luxury stay
Just back form a weeks stay in this stunning,exceptionally presented very spacious lodge.John and Paul the owners have honestly thought of everything you will need to make this a special place to stay, from the very generous contents of the welcome pack including a bottle of wine, home baking, sweets for the kids, DVD?s, a well stocked toy box for indoor and outdoor use ,Sky tv in every room, WIFI , the provision of robes , slippers and towels for use of the hot tub, beds made up for arrival and with the washing machine/tumble dryer, dishwasher , fridge freezer and every piece of cooking appliance needed this truly is a home from home. From it?s elevated prime position it offers spectacular views from the seated sun deck area over to the island of bute and beyond. The lodge itself is set in a quiet secluded area of the park which offers you the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing break yet at the same time is still close enough to the main entertainment area of the park that we could walk up here with the 4 kids. We?ve stayed in 5 star hotels that haven?t catered for us as well as the hospitality and attention to detail provided here by John and Paul , we wouldn?t hesitate to stay again or recommend Woodstock Lodge highly enough to anyone looking for a place to stay in this area.
