Fabulous holiday

We had a fabulous stay. Only thing I didn’t understand was why pay more for a pet friendly caravan and then have to pay again for a dog? Surely it should be included in the price of a pet friendly caravan as they are generally more expensive than a non Pet friendly caravan? Other than that, I couldn’t fault the place, everyone was friendly, the service was next level. Would defo stay again.

Pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of the site and cabin, a little rough round the edges ie slight bit of mold in the shower, chairs need a deep clean but it was livable and we enjoyed our stay

Knirschend gut

Im Allgemeinen hatten wir da einen guten Aufenthalt. Nur knirschte das ganze Haus, als es bloss ein bisschen wehte. Abgesehen davon war alles in Ordnung. Den Ort ist auch mit dem Bus leicht erreichbar

Family Stay

Good customer service and staff very responsive. Evening entertainment is funny and reps very positive/humorous. Accommodation: Static Caravan fine. Location: Very Central Pool indoor and outdoor, small but adequate. Downside: Drinks prices at the bar are very expensive! No shop on site, although co-op is only a 2 minute walk from yhe entrance.

Value for money

Value for money for our type of stay. Spacious it being what it is, you can not get this in a B&B or hotel for that price. Very central on the island which was great for us.

Clean and lovely place

Really clean and spacious caravan, very pretty setting. The only mark down on cleanliness was for the pool and changing areas, it was a nice pool but there wasn't really anywhere to change and leave stuff, and the general changing area/ toilets could've done with more regular cleaning. The caravan and everywhere else was very clean though, we had a lovely stay and would return.

We asked for a easy access caravan, didn't get one, tried to get it changed but they said that there was none available, couldn't check in before 4pm, they wouldn't even tell me which caravan I was getting which seemed awkward, we paid for a luxury caravan, it wasn't, the carpets and settee, 6 dinning chairs were dirty and stained, the sink work top was stained and had mould around the edges, outside the decking was filthy, we had to walk down some steps despite asking for a easy access, my wife struggles walking, they didn't seemed bothered,
