Then the front gate was broken, top part was completely detached, then getting the keys from the safety key box was stiff and tricky to get out. Now for in the property, there was dog hairs on the rug, there was dog hairs on the shower mat, the shower drain wasnât working properly as water kept building on the floor, the toilet was leaking, the beds we noticed had black hairs on the bedding, in the double bed there was some stains on the sheets and on the green pillow case, we found dog treatâs behind the chair in the living room and also a piece of mouldy bread (which I refused to touch myself). The fairy lights outside donât work, also 3 days into the holiday the electricity completely went out, so we had no electricity or heating until the next morning, we had to sort it out with the parks maintenance team and electrician (who were amazing, I wonât fault them). The experience was horrible as I have a disabled son and a 8 year old daughter. My son is on medical equipment aswell. Also please be aware of the door stoppers as on the first day my mother kicked it and seriously hurt her foot resulting in her being unable to walk properly or in pain for the full holiday. Another thing, watch your head on the display cabinet above the telly, I banged my head on it pretty hard and my dad did the same two times.

The site is self is suited to older people rather than young familyâs. The club house shuts very early and there was no entertainment. The caravan opposite displayed very strange behaviour! Parking their cars diagonally to stop people passing through the caravans and coming out regular to check all of their stones were in place, they must of been proud as one point the strange lady came out to take pictures of her parking! If you are looking to retire perfect holiday not so much for young families! Can not fault the caravan itâs self though it was lovely

Welcoming. Lounge light and airey. Outdoor furniture a bonus. Couple of downfalls -Some of kitchen cutlery and crockery needed cleaning as dirty/used. Crumbs on dining table and chairs and bedside tables were dirty/stained from spilt drinks. This however did not stop us in having a lovely week.
