A Truly Kind and Welcoming Stay at Burrowhead Caravan Park We recently stayed at Burrowhead Caravan Park and were deeply impresed by the kindnes, courtesy, and genuine care shown by the staff. We would certainly return. A winter storm caused an unexpected power outage, and the team rallied immediately bringing heaters to keep us comfortable, calling in engineers straight away, and even offering to move us to another caravan when the isue couldnt be resolved at once. Their attitude throughout was calm, warm, and extremely accommodating. When we then experienced some difficulties that delayed our departure, the staff showed even further consideration by allowing us a few extra hours to sort everything out. We realise this may not have been posible during the busy summer months, and the gesture meant a great deal to us. Our caravan itself was spotlesly clean, with good Wi-Fi and all the basics one hopes for plus thoughtful complimentary touches such as tea, coffee, biscuits,
