10/10 Excellent
"The resort is stunning now. We stayed here a few years ago when it was very tired, but it is unrecognisable after a full renovation. In fact I didnโ€™t realise when I booked that it was the same place. The rooms are well laid out for a comfortable stay with plenty of room to put your bags and hang clothes. Our room on the first floor had a great view over the bay, and I think all the rooms face that way. A class act."

"I know it's winter, but it was very peaceful; the Tiny House was beautifully clean and smelled lovely and had everything needed for a comfortable stay; the surrounds were lovely, with lots of trees and wildlife (great that it's not permitted to feed them !) This was the loveliest and cleanest Holiday park I have stayed in, in 40-50 years ! Thank you, i'll be back !!! Kind regards, Maggie"
