Guests rave about the campsite's cleanliness, especially the pods and restrooms. Staff are noted as friendly and helpful. Kids love the pool and entertainment. Downsides: pods are close together, some shower temp/quality issues, and bar food/drinks get mixed reviews.

Fantastic budget prices for accommodation break.…
Camping pod
Liked Fantastic budget prices for accommodation break. Bar prices were a little bit steep. Overall a great location for a nice getaway.
Clamping pods could do with a broom or dustpan and brush in the space to help keep clean.

Wouldn’t stay longer than a few days
Camping pod
Liked - Clean and comfortable Pod
- Great evening entertainment
- Dog friendly (Even in the clubhouse)
Disliked - The showers are awful. No room to move and wet floors, so difficult to get dressed. The water goes off when you stop pushing the button, so having a comfortable shower is impossible. Also no bench, just 1 hook to keep clothes and bags off the wet floor!
- Waited half hour for a basic breakfast. Had to add extras to have something substantial. Dinner was obviously microwaved food, took 20 minutes to be cool enough to eat safely. Not good value for money.
- Dogs all off lead round the pod area. The pods are quite close too, which meant we couldn’t really have our door open because someone’s dog would have come in. We have 2 very small and nervous dogs, so this was not ideal!

Very clean and a really friendly…
Camping pod
Liked Very clean and a really friendly staff team to make you feel welcome. However, there are too many camping pods all clustered together. Coming from London, glamping is meant to be a beautiful, in the open outdoors experience. We felt like we’d entered a city of glampers.
In fact the layout of the park including camping pods and caravans/lodges needs more thought as it’s all too claustrophobic.

All in all we enjoyed out stay!
Camping pod
Liked We arrived early however that wasn't a problem, and the reception staff was very friendly and helpful. We went for a run around the park and then a dive in the pool.
The lifeguards were wonderful.
The evening entertainment that we saw, were very good. And the kids club staff when seen had brilliant reflexs and thought well on their feet.
Disliked Unfortunately the food for my children wasn't brilliant, Very limited and with very active children not a huge amount on the planet.
More could be done with keeping the empty glasses off the outside tables.
The toilet block looked clean until you really looked. There was smears down the toilet walls and there wasn't any soap.
