The property is advertised as being much better and allows you to choee your room options. We picked a big spacious 8 berth with a bath and a on suite. On arrive it was a very small cramped 3 bed, no bath just a tiny shower room which was not ideal with a 1 year old and a 2 year old. One of the bedrooms you could not open the wardrobe as the bed was against it. The master bedroom was very small thag the bed was bacially touching either wall so no space for a cot. We did complain to guest services and they seen to be aware that stays are being advertised for better than they are. They offered us another 3 bedroom that did have a bath but everything else was worse. We also used the cooker to try to make a shop brought pizza, 2 hours later pizza was cooked on top but soft dough on the bottom. The park itself seemed maintained and very quite which is ideal if your not looking to using facilities that other places offer like clubhouse ect

If your looking for a basic weekend break..
Overall the caravan was basic, the kitchen was well equipped and the little welcome back of kitchen essentials such as washing up liquid and dish clothes was a nice touch. They probably would benefit from adding a couple of dusters and some form of polish or antibac cleaner, so you could do a thorough dusting to avoid walking into cobwebs and surface dust. I wont upload the photo of the wipe with dust collated on it! We were only staying two nights it was not as shown in the pictures in fact nothing like the advertised pictures inside the caravan, if your booking this stay you really need to be thinking basic caravan style, the pool was warm and its not huge so felt over crowded at times, and the club house, well we only visited when going to the pool but its tiny compared to others we have seen in. If your looking for a basic couple of nights and a basic caravan park/stay then this is idea, just take some cleaning products to freshen up the areas you can socks/slippers.

Well maintained, clean and fun, for business trip. Cabin was very clean, filled with all the comfort of home. As working nights, appreciated the calm and peacefulness. Good food - enjoyed a steak one night, really good. Great staff too, bang on.

This luxury caravan which could sleep 6 adults was superb. Four of us ladies stayed there and we were all very impressed with the cleanliness and fitting out of the caravan. So much thought in providing everything we coyld need for a relaxing and pleasant 3 days.
