Clean and comfortable.We knew it would be quiet and there are not a lot of amenities on site which is why we booked this one.Aldi close by and co-op too for shopping.Portland and Woodvale both great pubs.The thing that let it down was the outside space, it had not been cleaned for a while. Cobwebs can appear overnight but there were a lot and I mean a lot all over the outside walls and the decking was covered in dead leaves including stuck around the hot tub too.We cleared this so we we could us the hot tub and it was very nice and clean.The bbq however was not usable it was disgusting and there was not way I was going to touch that to clean it.The whole decking was covered in ants especially around the bbq and seating area so we could not eat or drink outside.With 2 small children we did not want to use chemicals/powder for the ants so this was disappointing as we had great weather.The beds were comfortable apart from the double room with no ensuite. This did not have a mattress topper, we had to buy one so maybe take one with you.
