From the manager: Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we're glad you enjoyed your time with us and the facilities on offer and we hope to see you again during the 2025 season!
We don't have a generator but wonder if you're referring to the leaf blower or collection machine that may have been operating during your stay... This can be noisy but is essential to keep the site looking tip-top!
