Camping pod
Liked: Stayed in a pod for 3 nights and found it to be clean and tidy as was the area outside. Shower block and toilets were cleaned twice a day and found them to be as expected and was ok to use, always had hand soap, hot water and toilet paper. The general cleanliness also depends on the guests using them! Staff around the park were very helpful, would definitely stay again.

Camping pod
Liked: Camping pods were really clean, and well equipped and much more spacious than anticipated. You get 4 plug sockets, a heater, table and chairs, a drying rack for clothes and some small storage. Pods were situated round a communal BBQ area and were a short walk to the shower and bar area, but not near enough that it was noisy at night. It felt like its own little area away from the main caravan park, which was nice. Bar had good kids entertainment, great park and play area for small children and was full of families so a very kid friendly atmosphere. Swimming pool was fun for small children. The welcoming team were so friendly and helpful, and I appreciated them calling before we arrived and they checked up on us too. We were able to get into our pod early which was nice. Bar staff were friendly and helpful as well.
Disliked: Swimming had to be booked in advance, so it was already full on the day we arrived - it would be better if you could book in advance. Slide was only opened for 15 minutes of the swim session which seemed weird and no proper showering facilities in the pool so you had to walk back to shower. Food and drink at the bar was gross, no real healthy options and food seemed expensive for what it was. The wine was disgusting also. Coffee was very expensive for just coming out a machine. One of the showers was out of order and no external lock on the women's shower rooms and toilets. Location was great - short drive to some lovely beaches and easy to get to supermarket, cafes, restaurants etc. However, you definitely need a car - not near to anything by foot. Very friendly, welcoming place.

Camping pod
Liked: We loved the camping pod and the staff were really friendly. The food was really good aswell. We enjoyed the entertainment in evening too.
Disliked: Didn't like the showers black mould in them and not enough space to get dressed or hang clothing or towels in them . A lot of games in the arcades were broken to, money got stuck and a lot didn't give tickets out so kids were disappointed. Need more games for older kids into there.

Camping pod
Liked: Friendly staff in the bar, the shop, reception and swimming The swimming pool was great My youngest (9) loved the park area. I felt that he was safe to roam
Disliked: Couldn’t hear what the compare was saying when using the microphone. It was muffled and unclear. The entertainment wasn’t what I wanted. The drag act wasn’t good, bingo wasn’t what I wanted to do, but it took over the whole bar area, so had no choice. My 15 year old was a bit bored.

Camping pod
Liked: Staff were friendly Pods were nice
Disliked: Locked toilet block keys didn’t work well resulting in my child wetting themselves whilst I struggled to unlock door. Showers to hard to push and water scalding for kids. Path to toilet block so uneven and trees overgrown. Continuous humming of electricity/generator made sleeping difficult. Woken up at 4.30am by noisy people in nearby pod having a gathering outside drinking. Pod wasn’t that clean and found rubbish down the side of the bed

Camping pod
Liked: Booking and checking in no issues The pods were great beds comfortable and clean they get hot tho so recommend you take a fan in warm weather , we was a group family booking of 6 adults and 7 young children ranging from 4 months to 7 years plus 2 teenagers at 13 we found the pod area great being close together helped and the children loved the freedom of it and was safe for them to play outside nice and relaxing area not to far from toilet block or complex if you want to use it parking near by as well there is a community area with bbq and fire pit plus garden furniture but we didn’t make use of it as we had our own the play park was good as was swimming pool we had amazing weather to be able to sit outside and make the most of the pods definitely recommend and would return
Disliked: Would of liked opportunity to check in earlier especially with younger children as 4pm is quite late and although u have pass if earlier can’t use swimming pool so it is just the play park or arcade/club which can be expensive with a few children and if on a budget and in very hot weather like we had wasn’t a lot of shade 3 tables only had shade and these were being used which for a park that size isn’t good plus most places do give u this opportunity at cost which is always handy Washing up area needs bit of TLC and a bin as plugs constantly blocked with bits of food Play park needs a baby swing Food & drink over priced but we only used club once as we enjoyed the pods so much
