We were so impressed with the size of the property, good quality fixtures and fittings and everything needed for a lovely break away. The park is so pretty and well kept, the grass is edged so neat and not a dingle dead head on the pretty flowers.

cottage was lovely very clean and everything we needed for a short break. Gretchen and Barry were on hand and very helpful if needed, Weather was a bit cold but the cottage was warm and cosy, The area was very quiet particularly the caravan park no rowdy parties. We would highly recommend it to future guests especially older people like ourselves.
