We picked a quiet week which suited us and we just had a good week doing nothing apart from watching our neighbouring rabbit coming out from under another lodge every day at 5 on the dot. I think the park has something for everyone of every age and our lodge was just right for us. On arrival the owner even left us a nice home made loaf. Tea and toast followed quickly.

The lodge was fully equipped, and immaculate. The double bed was very comfortable. A large TV, with a good choice of channels, and a strong WiFi signal. We used the cooking facilities, but if you prefer takeaways, or eating out, there was a lot around the site. We could tell upon arrival that the owners care for this lodge, and itâs a credit to the them..It is beautifully maintained. One negativeâ¦sorry, there isnât oneâ¦looking forward to rebooking when the opportunity arises, thanks again..

The site included a gym, indoor swimming pool, restaurant and bar. The only let down was the really slow WiFi, almost pointless having Smart TVs.
