Cabin with hot tub, a winner
modern decor spacious bedrooms good dishwasher comfortable sofa bed
The cabin decor was modern. It was warm and cute. The bedrooms were spacious. The en-suite facilities were superb. The kitchen had a decent oven and a large fridge. There was also a good dishwasher. The sofa bed was comfortable. The cabin housed six people easily.
The swimming pool changing rooms smelt a bit of urine.

The swimming pool was great for families, BUT i did notice the changing rooms were a bit dirty, though warm. I also thought the gym had everything needed. The park is in a fantastic location.

urine smell kitchen table
the woodland areas were quiet and the staff were friendly i suppose.
The luxury lodge i booked looked run down on arrival. It really was tired. the kitchen table felt sticky, and the strong urine smell took my breath away. perhaps thats why our door was wide open when i arrived.
