Michael, Sunderland
Date of stay: 7th February 2025

We had a fantastic stay! The lodge was spotless and super comfy, with a big enclosed deck perfect for our dog. The hot-tub was definitely a highlight. Its clear the owners really considered everything, even giving us a torch for late walks since the park gets quite dark. Plus, having a washing machine and dishwasher was a real bonus. Loved it!

Jackie, Swindon
Date of stay: 17th November 2024

We stayed at The Bungalow and really enjoyed it. Its super clean, warm and feels comfy. The only thing we thought could improve is adding another toilet or maybe an en-suite. Also, a fresh coat of paint on the decking wouldnt go amiss. Would come back in a heartbeat!
