Caravan was spotless. Large kitchen/living area. 2 bedrooms one with en suite. Lots of storage within the caravan. Very happy.

Emma, Redhill
Date of stay: 29th April 2025

We had a lovely time, though the sofa wasnt the comfiest weve sat on. A deckchair wouldve been perfect for enjoying a cuppa outside, but overall, it was pretty nice! Wed come back again.

Emma, Waterlooville
Date of stay: 10th April 2025

The caravan was really spacious and perfect for the whole family. We did notice a few small issues, like the shower head needing fixing and some rubbish left in the main bedroom. Still, it was a lovely trip!

Emma, Leicester
Date of stay: 24th March 2025

Beautiful spot, definitely worth a visit. The park is lovely and there's plenty nearby.

Emma, London
Date of stay: 13th March 2025

The caravan was spotless when we arrived and the food was really nice too. Great stay!

Emma, London
Date of stay: 3rd February 2025

We really enjoyed our stay overall! The caravan was comfy, but the only thing that bugged us was the lack of hooks-just one in the whole place. With all the rain, more hanging space wouldve been a huge help. Still, great experience!
