2 things I would just mention, are it would've been useful to have full size bin bags for all our rubbish and a note to say what to do with bedding and towels on the day of departure. Also a shelf/shower caddy would be good so you have somewhere to put your bottles whilst in the shower. We would definitely return again, it was perfect for our girls chilled out weekend
