What our guests have to say

Peace and Quiet

Just had a lovely week at this quiet park, set in beautiful surroundings. The caravan and park were very clean and all the staff extremely helpful and friendly. Thank you!

Very Relaxing Stay

The site is very well kept and we were very pleased with our statement caravan. It was very clean and modern, and much more spacious than caravans we had elsewhere. We were particularly impressed with the beds which were bigger and much more comfortable than beds we'd had in other caravans.

Wonderful Stay

Staff at booking were fantastic at making sure we were placed in a caravan away from the road (we have two small children). Reception staff were great at check in - very helpful and friendly. The caravan was the cleanest caravan I have ever stayed in. We had a wonderful stay, thank you!
