I have stayed here lots of time previously and I think the bed in the accessible room needs to be upgraded and buy some new beds please. It’s a bit hard and uncomfortable to sleep on. Also there is construction going on in the site next door. It’s quite noisy first thing in the mornings. About 7:15 which is ok if you have had a comfortable night but too early otherwise. What about a warning on the website so people have a choice? To stay or not. Next time I want to go here I will phone first for an update on noise.
