Very quiet and close to the zoo which was a bonus for our 3 year old. Cleanliness was at a high standard. Thankyou for letting us stay here. Will definitely be back

The whole park was lovely and quiet and the hot tub was perfect to relax in. We also brought our dog which was a massive bonus as thereâs not many places where dogs are accepted! We will definitely be booking again and we canât wait for our next stay âºï¸ the only thing I would add for people who bring their dogs, (which I donât think has anything to do with the property itself or the owners, just more of a heads up!) but the hot tub maintenance who comes to check the hot tub on a daily basis donât come at a set time. So just make sure you keep your ears peeled for them as the guy startled our dog to which he started barking which startled the guy coming to do the hot tub! I think if a set time could be put in place for when they come would be fantastic so people can keep their dogs in for the few minutes theyâre here! I know itâs easier said then done âºï¸
