We enjoyed a great week in Alandale Pk made even more special due to some warm sunny weather. The Chalet was quite 'cosy' due to it's size but was very well equipped and so comfortable. The owners have done everything and some to make us feel welcome with lots of added 'goodies' left in fridge.

The un-adopted road access, Bethel Drive, is in an abominable condition with a very large number of deep holes - extremely dangerous. The parking area on the site is in a bad condition. The water from the taps was never hot, only lukewarm at best. A small chalet was made smaller by clutter from large furniture/cushions etc. The dining table and chairs were too heavy and bulky. The wardrobe was very difficult to access. There was no vegetable peeler.
