Lovely location. Interior fresh and new. Says it has WiFi but as others have pointed out, it doesn’t. Not the end of the world but misleading.

We recently stayed at this caravan for a February break, and while there were some positives, there were also a few disappointing aspects to our stay.On arrival, we were unfortunately greeted by a wet dog smell, which wasn’t the best first impression. We also found dog hairs on the bedding and sofa, which made the caravan feel less clean than we would have expected. There was no hand soap provided in the bathrooms, which felt like a basic essential that should be included.There was also very little information available about things to do in the local area. A welcome folder with recommendations for walks, attractions, or places to eat would have been really helpful. Additionally, there were no board games provided — thankfully we had brought our own. We also couldn’t get the TV or WiFi to work during our stay, although luckily we don’t rely on these for entertainment.On a more positive note, the location is absolutely brilliant. The surrounding area offers some lovely walks, and despite it being February, the caravan was warm throughout our stay.Overall, the location and warmth were definite highlights, but improvements in cleanliness, basic provisions, and guest information would make a big difference to the overall experience.
