We were recommended the holiday park by a relative who had stayed previously, and it didn’t disappoint! The chalet was perfectly equipped with everything we needed for our stay, and it was SPOTLESS. We cannot fault the cleanliness. It has really made our stay to have somewhere so comfortable, safe and clean to return to. We will be staying again!
