Não gostou: Bar food wasn't great at all for the prices charged.

Gostou: I love the pods. They’re lovely to stay in for a short break. The price I paid was great too as we had an inset day and it’s much cheaper to go on an inset weekend for us. The location is great for exploring Kent. We went to Whitstable and absolutely loved it there. A great spot for crabbing! We went to Hearne bay which was great for the arcades if that’s your thing. They also have a pier but it was closed by the time we got there. Reculver tower, Richborough Roman fort, Whitstable castle, Margate beach, Margate shell grotto and Ramsgate are all within a 20 minute drive and are great places to visit.

Não gostou: The door handle was loose and the handle came off. The door locked perfectly so it wasn’t a huge deal. The USB is still faulty despite me reporting it last year, we stayed in the same cabin and the issue hadn’t been fixed 9 months later. A few ants came in so I reported that. Not been a problem before. My biggest issue is the double bed mattress is so hard I have had a bad back since I stayed which started after the first night. If you suffer with back issues then I would avoid. I probably won’t stay in the pod again here purely because of the mattress

Gostou: The pods were great. No frills but clean, attractive and well located. All the guests in the pods were very social which was lovely. The shower / toilet block was close (150m) to our pod which was the furthest of them all. It was clean and smelt good. The swimming pool was clean and well attended by staff. The sessions are 45mins at a time and book up quickly on the day so I’d suggest booking on arrival. Bar / restaurant was large, and menu was fine. Arcade was decent. Mini golf course is basic but lots of fun. Lots of nice pubs, restaurants and beaches close by. All staff I encountered were polite and friendly. Especially at reception. Breakfast very nice

Não gostou: Several of the arcade machines didn’t work or swallowed money and no efforts seemed to be made to turn them off / rectify that. One evening when we ordered food, they said there was a half hour wait, but food took more than an hour to arrive and when it did, was overcooked. I think the check in and out times for the pods were both too extreme. 10am leaving and 4pm earliest arrival. Maybe they could be an hour lenient later in the morning and earlier in the afternoon.

Gostou: It was amaizing, very quiet and relaxing, we was really enjoying. We been with friends so we have 3 pods, they was close to each other.

Não gostou: On a list they didn’t say nothing about the kettle, so make sure you have your own for tea/coffee in a morning

Gostou: Close to facilities. Great having electricity and heating in camping pods.

Não gostou: Seagulls kept landing on our pod roof waking us up at dawn. The timings of the swimming pool were very limited. We were out during the day so had left before the swimming pool had opened and not returned before it had closed. We would have like the option to book online and have an early morning or evening slot.

Gostou: parking is next to the cabins, the pod was comfortable and spacious.

Não gostou: The bathrooms were disgusting, it seems that the one who cleans does not do it well and does not do it every day, when they should be kept clean because it is easy to pick up bacteria with so much dirt, the dishwasher area was disgusting full of cobwebs and totally dirty for sure You had months without cleaning that area. The pod was dirty full of spider mites and dust, the pool you have to booking with one day previous to enter and it's only 45 minutes, I have no problem with them keeping track,but they sell you the pool as an area for enjoyment but It's really not for all day or any time it's just limited. I don’t know I think I pay a lot of money for sleep in dirty place.
