Wouldn’t stay again. Paper thin walls and a bed that was abysmal. Noise all night from the road, helicopters in and out of the hospital and other guests (noting the latter is not the property’s fault). The fridge needed to be unplugged as it sounded as though it was bearly holding onto life.

Unfortunately, my experience at this hotel was very disappointing. The customer service is virtually non-existent; it seems they only care about charging for the room without considering the guest's needs. They do not respond to emails or communicate in any effective way. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel to anyone

First time staying in a holiday park cabin and it was a lovely experience. The booking was done last minute and I was able to upgrade without any hassle. The staff were absolutely lovely, the grounds were well lit, the cabin was warm, good bedding, clean, practicle and stocked with the necessary items for a comfortable stay. I had a lovely rest and would certainly stay again. Highly recommend, incredibly friendly and supportive staff, it was a wonderful first time cabin experience.
