Cleaning carven , modern . But only the toilets and walking shower are have stains and one of them was blocked . Overall good holiday park for someone want to relaxing . But if you have kids with you was poor place for them no activities or any facilities they can do it . You need to drive to Newquay for activities place and sand beach .

This holiday park was outstanding in every way. The location is remote with beautiful scenery and views. Still very close to get to all the surrounding tourist spots. The accommodation was brilliant, they really had thought of everything. It was spacious, clean and we felt very comfortable there. The add touches of a welcome pack for the kids and dog were very much appreciated. My only recommendation is to make sure you take what you need in terms of drink/food. There isnt a supermarket that is close (half a hour away,) this is mentioned so as long as you are organised it shouldnt cause a problem. There is an onsite shop that is open till 5ish, but very basic bits.I hope to come and stay again, it really was such a special time, 5* in my opinion.

We had a lovely stay at the lodge, it was super clean and very well equipped. Everything functioned perfectly and the big TV was definitely a highlight! The hot tub was just right. Only tiny thing-maybe a spatula and cheese grater wouldve been handy. Would come back!
