Cheap and nasty. Stay anywhere else but not this place. I only stayed there because it was cheap. Would not recommend it to anyone else at all. Maybe a caravan park would be a better choice.

Extremely pleasent stay. Stayed in February, checked in late with no issues. Room was clean and tidy. Shower temperature could become delightfully hot - if desired. Staff were contactable via text messaging. No review of reception area or pool - it looked clean though. The general area looked well maintained. Enjoyed the peace of low contact. Would stay again.
