Shirley
A little disappointed as I had a phone call to check details regarding check in etc and at the time I asked regarding having an evening meal in the restaurant and was told that I could but needed to tell reception by 12noon on the day. However when I asked the same question when we booked in was told that it was not possible as they were fully booked for the week. This was important knowing there was an on site restaurant when we booked and also being confirmed shortly before we arrived

Would have been great to have table tennis in the barn area where the air hockey was situated as it was in the gym and my boys were too young to enter. Also a sign just down from the public parking area to the cafe would be great, as I ended up turning down Stickend Lane which was a very narrow lane and added 40 mins on to our arrival and left me feeling very stressed.

We have stayed here 3 times with the charity and decided to rent. The only small negative is the Tv. All other bungalows we have stopped have a more modern tv that is linked to WiFi unfortunately this one did not have that as I did try. We like to relax with a film on Netflix or Prime. Perhaps itâs due an upgrade soon? Never the less we will be back soon. Many thanks Jamie and Netty
