Adam
Date of stay: 2nd September 2025

Very quiet site, only saw one person all weekend. You dont see any staff as it is self check in. We was in an attached lodge and could hear our neighbours more than we expected to. It felt like we was away with a cousin we didnt know and couldnt see but they were there. We found ourselves whispering which isnt ideal on holiday. Lovely local pub nearby but wouldnt return to this site, prefer a lodge with decking personally.

The chairs in the outside area were rusty and needed to be replaced in my opinion. There was nowhere to hang wet clothes after being in hot tub

There was no toilet paper in the lodge on arrival. The hot water took a while to heat in the shower. Everything else was great.

We stayed in the cabin recently and really enjoyed it overall. It had a super cosy vibe and all the kitchen stuff we needed for meals. The bed was comfy, though the pillows were a bit lumpy. The sofas werent the best and a hairdryer or some coasters wouldve been a nice touch. Still, a lovely stay!

We loved staying here! The place was spotless, beautifully furnished and super peaceful. The hot tub really topped it off! Quite the treat.
