The standard log cabin was spacious and very suitable for our needs. the parking spot was right next to the cabin. This made loading and unloading our luggage easier.
i had to pay extra for wi-fi, and the connection was not very reliable

cabin kitchenmissing doorcommunal shower
the cabin kitchen had everything i needed to cook which was alright.
the communal shower block was a sad sight i must say with a door missing on one of the cubicles. this meant there were only two toilets available that created queues which wasn't awesome at all. i thought they should have done better.

Excellent Family Holiday Destination

awesome pooltidy bathroomcozy cabin
This park is great for families. The kids especially enjoyed the awesome pool and hot pools. The park and games room added even more fun for them. Our basic cabin was cozy and perfect. It accommodated two adults and three kids comfortably. I found the bathrooms clean and tidy. The shower was amazing.
The log cabin seemed quite far from the camper van site, despite an earlier request for proximity.
Location

The park is situated conveniently. It is a reasonable distance from town. This provides a balance. It is close enough to amenities yet offers a more secluded feel.
