Comfortable accommodation but wifi didn’t work

Very comfortable accommodation but wifi didn’t work, which also meant that some of TV service wasn’t available. We were told that if we linked to wifi in the bar area, it would then work in the room, but it didn’t. We ate in the bar in the evening, but we later found much better options for same price in the town centre so I would recommend giving the bar a miss. Good selection of tea, coffee, hot choc in the room. Also a fridge which is always useful.

The staff were very pleasant. Hut/chaket very clean. Bed was very uncomfortable because the mattress sloped diwn at either side. Myst have been cheap and/or old. The wifi didnt work once on any of our 4 devices zuri the 3 day stay. The room was unbearably hot with no way of safely ventilating during he night. Fridge in the room was ridiculously oisy and disturbed what litfle sleeo we had. The sviwer was cold as mu h as it was hot. Wouldn't stay again.

Nice enough but dont go on the weekend

Cabin is nice enough. Comfy bed, was clean, had a fridge. The hot water was pretty dodgy though, coinflip whether it worked or not. Weekdays it was pretty decent. Weekend days though, avoid. Its inbetween the car park and the kids park so we had screaming families and kids kicking footballs over the fence into the cabin area constantly and then asking for it back. Food not amazing but they did cook for us like 15 mins after the kitchen officially closed when they didnt have to so cant complain too much

We had a really nice stay. The pod was very comfortable and clean. It looked fairly new and had everything you could need. We stayed one night for an occasion but on another visit I'd eat at the pub, the food looked good. The staff member behind the bar was nice and the door key has a pirate on it - what's not to love about that!
