First time staying in a holiday park cabin and it was a lovely experience. The booking was done last minute and I was able to upgrade without any hassle. The staff were absolutely lovely, the grounds were well lit, the cabin was warm, good bedding, clean, practicle and stocked with the necessary items for a comfortable stay. I had a lovely rest and would certainly stay again. Highly recommend, incredibly friendly and supportive staff, it was a wonderful first time cabin experience.
