I spent a week in a spacious touring pitch with a lovely view of the lake, which made my stay enjoyable overall. The facilities, especially the showers and toilets, were consistently clean, though some improvements could be made in lighting around the pitches at night. I had a wonderful time fishing, with plenty of carp to catch. However, I was concerned about dogs running loose near the lake area. Despite these issues, I would recommend it for a family getaway or fishing trip.

We had a lovely weekend getaway in a beautifully maintained area, and the facilities exceeded our expectations. The restaurant offered a great dining experience at reasonable prices. However, the noise from weddings over the weekend was a bit disruptive at times, which affected the overall peace we sought during our visit.

We had a peaceful and enjoyable weekend retreat. The accommodations were impeccably clean, and the shower facilities were modern and inviting. The food at Woody's exceeded our expectations, especially the Sunday carvery, which was worth every penny. However, we did encounter some litter outside our designated area, and the lack of breakfast options nearby was a slight drawback. Overall, it's a family-friendly environment that we're eager to revisit.

I had a bit of a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel has beautiful surroundings and plenty of family-friendly activities, which is great. However, my room was not clean upon arrival, and the dining service was very slow with some quality issues. Overall, it's a lovely place for the right traveler, but improvements are needed in cleanliness and dining efficiency.
