We packed some things together and headed off to Marlie for another few days in a lodge. We had lunch at The Ship Hotel, very nice as always and the bar staff are so lovely. As soon as we arrived the barman brought a bowl of water for Ellie!

A quick stop off at Sainsburys for a little food and then the lodge was ready for us.

It took us quite a while to find the boiler to turn the heating on! No instructions anywhere. We didn’t have any hangers, called reception, yes we’ll bring some….they never arrived. Also one of the bathroom wash hand basins was blocked!
