Was a good caravan, roads were really bad getting to the location. Isn’t much there at all. Staff are all very friendly and helpful but the caravan itself was a bit of a let down as door locks where not the best, bathroom door wouldn’t even lock handle was broken. Microwave wasn’t working properly etc.

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,
