Inside the lodge was clean and spacious - outside, especially the windows, needed cleaning. The double bed mattress needed replacing. Would definitely recommend they provide more cutlery - 1 set per person is not very convenient. However, overall, the accommodation was decent.

Great caravan, shower was amazing! Would be better if there were fitted sheets in the bedroom but appreciate that the beds are not a standard size. Had everything we needed..

Verified Guest
Date of stay: 24th August 2025

Caravan was nice but not the cleanest and bedrooms were tiny, space wise it probably should have been a 2 bed not 3. Lounge area was lovely and spacious and the two toilets were a bonus. Disturbances on the last 2 days due to works being done on next door but 1 caravan but overall it was a lovely stay and I would return

Barry
Date of stay: 20th August 2025

The lodge was massive, very clean and well looked after
