Feb 2025

"We had a fantastic stay! The lodge was spotless and super comfy, with a big enclosed deck perfect for our dog. The hot-tub was definitely a highlight. Its clear the owners really considered everything, even giving us a torch for late walks since the park gets quite dark. Plus, having a washing machine and dishwasher was a real bonus. Loved it!"

"We stayed at The Bungalow and really enjoyed it. Its super clean, warm and feels comfy. The only thing we thought could improve is adding another toilet or maybe an en-suite. Also, a fresh coat of paint on the decking wouldnt go amiss. Would come back in a heartbeat!"

"Our Willow Bay Country Park review: We had a lovely stay overall, but we couldnt give full marks for cleanliness. Arriving at 5pm because of COVID cleaning meant the lodge wasnt as spotless as we expected for the wait. Still, the place was really comfy and we genuinely enjoyed our time. The staff were fantastic and made us feel welcome. Honestly, we couldve stayed longer - it was just that good! Definitely recommend."

"Really enjoyed the break, though in hindsight, we should've booked for longer!"
