It was very clean, and they checked the hot tub twice a day, it was a great tub everything working and spotless.
Wendy
It is rare to find somewhere so peaceful and with such high standards. The hot tub was serviced twice a day and the site & property were wonderful! Thank you to Lloyd, Lynn and the team.
Martin
Staff were very friendly and sociable. Suggestions for improvement: lights needed above bathroom cabinet and bedroom mirrors, towel rail next to bathroom sink, full length mirror in one of the bedrooms. Only negative was the rat/mouse trap next to the decking and behind the hot tub; potential danger to our inquisitive dog.
