Liked: Good activities for kids to do, nice park overall. Bingo for the adults was good fun with big prizes.
Disliked: Food was quite limited and expensive. They could really do with having an ATM on site as the change machine kept breaking and every game and bingo was cash only. You have to drive to a cash point.

Camping pod
Liked: Basic but very good pod, excellent insulation, so warm and quiet. Couple of electrical sockets with usb. Beds were comfortable, toilet facilities very close and restaurant good. Swimming pool excellent, clean and modern, looks like it was a recent addition to the site.
Disliked: Lack of lighting around whole site, and lack of exit signs. No running water for camping pods (told they had to turn off the water as kids kept turning them on and were flooding the site) and unsure if dishwasher area water was drinking safe. Toilets were basic, women’s were okay but male toilets were very dirty. Had to pay extra for WiFi near our pod, which you have to keep checking your device is still connected to it.

Liked: Park facilities, the swimming pool was well maintained, the playgrounds are spotted around the camp site, the activities for children. The pods are a great alternative to a tent - very warm even at night.
Disliked: The toilets are a let down - smell of wee and in a need of refurbishment.

Liked: Golf and swimming pool. Pod was nice and clean.
Disliked: EXPENSIVE bar. A double vodka lemonade and lime and a double rum and coke £17.60! We stay at a lot of holiday parks,haven, seal bay resorts, parkedean and found this the most overpriced place we've ever been to! No hot water for the x2 days we were there so couldn't shower or wash up properly . Couldn't use swimming pool showers to wash hair as no toiletries were allowed.
