Big room . Very clean . Just 5 mins from shops and restaurants. Nice walks around lake. Lake view only when sat at the small table in corner or sat out side, which was also spoilt by tents and campers, but overall good value for money

The pod was comfortable and matched the description. It is located within a larger holiday park that seems more worn down. The common areas were functional but could use some updating.

Disliked: Amenities
The partial lake view was the only nice thing about this place. Only one of the jets had a reasonable amount of pressure. The faucet came right off when I turned on the tub. The large bed was two twin beds pushed together…and you have to pay for internet…and it still didn’t work. Won’t be staying there again or recommending it to anyone else. Stay somewhere else.
