the cottage was very well equipped with an outside table and views of the lake. everything was clean and in excellent working order. i found lots of parking spaces available and it was easy to find.
i found the showers roomy but a bit drab. the water wasn't as hot or powerful as i would have liked as it was push button operated.

the glamping pod, it wasn't what i hopped for. the bedding had some brown stains, a real disappointment. i also felt a bit disappointed we had to strip all the beds myself. felt this wasn't justified considering the cost. it reminded me of a job after a long day.

My wife and i had a high quality stay. the cottage was ideal for us and well provisioned with all facilities. we found comfortable beds. Plenty of hot water. And lake views. a handy pub was nearby too!
the walk to town was a bit longer than i expected, especially in the evening. it took about 15-20 minutes through a wood area and a field.

The touring pitch sizes are spacious. The site itself is spacious. It has a beautiful mansion house and gardens onsite. The play park for children is really good!!!
The play park was a bit young for our kids. The play area being over by the Mansion House meant a walk uphill. It was not very practical for an impromptu play.
