Good offerings for a family. Basic, no frills apartment. Wasn’t keen on the bathroom facilities as the shower position was poor and didn’t allow for easy use. Some of the bathroom facilities need updating- towel rail was rusted in some areas and the flooring was coming away on the sides. We would go back but would like to see some modernising of the rooms. Good breakfast and dinner menu. Food was nice. The pool was a good size and well maintained The surrounding gardens were immaculately kept. Reception and restaurant staff were really friendly and helpful.

Clean, spacious rooms, not too busy, good food selection for breakfast but disappointingly limited for evening meal. All facilities well looked after and fit for purpose. Standard of customer service delivered by the staff team was consistently high. Fantastic location with excellent access to Croyde beach. Obvious that real care has been taken to provide a high quality resort facility, ideal for families.

Good stay but could easily be better

Great stay in general, with good facilities and friendly staff. The were a couple of things I wasn't satisfied with. 1. The shower head in my room was mounted in a way which meant you had to have the water pressure low or the water streamed out over the edge of the bath. 2. Having to wait until the pool opened to use the gym seemed ludicrous to me. I was visiting for a wedding, which meant my only opportunity to use the facilities was early in the morning, but seemingly as standard you can use neither the pool or gym until 9am. 3. The breakfast options seemed pretty poor given the price I had to pay on top of a not particularly cheap room rate. The full English selection and quality was good but the only fruit option when I visited seemed to be a bowl of grapefruit, and on one of the days I was there there were no yogurts or choice of pastries.

Couldn't have been better!

Quite Excellent. from book in by Karen at reception who upgraded us - to the gym and pool staff (notably Caelan), to the restaurant staff, Joe, Cara and Eloise who provided an excellent service from the dining room - carvery and take away meals. The reception staff were always helpful (Debbie). We had a truly wonderful experience in a large and clean lodge. Minutes walk from the beach. Plenty of activities on site for both adults and children. equipment for these activities on hand and respected by clients at the resort. A really super weekend break I'd have stayed for much longer given the chance.
