The lodge is very cosy and the TV has loads of channels and apps, there are also some board games which was ideal as we had a lot of rainy days. We did have to buy toilet roll and bin bags as there was no spare but other than this everything was perfect. The coop is less than a 15 min drive and you can also order takeaway to the holiday park. Would definitely stay at the elements again

The single beds are rather uncomfortable for an adult, You can feel the metal frame and springs below and the mattresses are too thin as (when we stayed) the cold permeated through. However, overall we enjoyed our stay and caravans have come a long way since our last stay in one! The position was great right next to trees, private and peaceful, owls were heard most nights and on a clear night, the stars are spectacular.
