"As said before, the caravan needs a lot of TLC. Radiators need a lick of paint as all rusty, seltaped remote. Stain on sheets, missing knives. Lots of wear and tear to the actual caravan which make it such a shame."

"Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back soon."

"We found the caravan spotless and smelling fresh, even with four adults inside. Plenty of space for everyone and the hot tub was well taken care of, with the maintenance guy checking it almost daily. Really impressed!"

"We stayed in the caravan and honestly, it was surprisingly comfy-way better than many lodges we've been in before. Can't really find any faults with it at all."
