ant problem hand towel
the standard king room was clean and well equipped, providing basic amenities for a short stay.
the ant problem was awful. the dressing table was completely overrun with ants, shocking. there wasn't even a hairdryer in the room. this meant i had to use the hand towel to brush the insects off the table.

great park big bedroom big bathroom doggy poo old shower strong smell
the setting was beautiful. the bedroom was big and bathroom was big. it was clean and quiet. the park was great and the food was nice. my husband enjoyed the fishing a lot.
I stayed here last weekend. the campsite wasn't for me. all motorhomes and caravans were parked higgledy-piggledy. we were close to the fire extinguishing equipment that had two full doggy poo bags resting on it. the shower and toilet areas are quite old. There's a lot of mold. the ladies' shower room smelled strongly of vomit!!!

Acceptable Stay

comfortable bed spacious room wet room muddy pitch poor lighting road potholes
The room was spacious. A very comfortable bed was in the room. The high-spec wet room was also great. Replenished tea and coffee facilities were a nice touch each day.
The grass was saturated around our pitch. I noticed plenty of mud. There were big pot holes in the roads with poor lighting. We had to be very careful going to the loos.
