The owner Tom was amazing and had great communication skills. He made sure we were OK. The Lodge was gorgeous, really clean and very spacious. It was in an excellent location of the park for us, as we like quiet. We will be booking again for next year and highly recommend this lodge. It's amazing. Thank you our holiday was amazing.

The lodge/caravan had everything we needed. The site was much bigger than we had expected but was quiet at this particular time. Great sunsets.
