The Hive, Parkdean

Just spent a week at The Hive on the Parkdean Lodge site in Warmwell. Nice site and plenty to do in the area. However, Lodge we stayed in needs revamping. We had no electricity on arrival and could not contact the owner. Had to get maintenance out. On first viewing lodge looked great, however, parking area not clearly identified (we parked in next doors driveway and had to move when they arrived). Lots of things not checked as per the maintenance book, TV in bedroom not working, no working batteries in any remote controls, broken toaster, no frying pan, no scissors, no potato peeler, no grater and definitely no Welcome pack which is what we usually get when we stay in other cottages. Crockery and cutlery needed washing before using. Shower only worked intermittently. Trees around the lodge need cutting back as they blocked out the sunlight on the verandah. Although these things did not spoil the holiday in general, certainly needs checking out.
