The benefits of a larger tv than you usually get in rentals is a huge bonus, plus it was a smart tv so we could stream the channels we subscribe to. There is a lovely quiet lane at the rear of the caravan where you can walk your dog and a walking area around the large field in front. It has all of the amenities you could require, lovely comfortable sofa and armchairs, cooker, oven, microwave and fridge so we had everything we needed. Will definitely re-book in the future as both experiences have been excellent.

The bbq outside was really bad we could not use this. The pub on site food was good but closed Tuesday and as the toaster and oven would not work and because it had not been cleaned and part of a seal hanging off we did not use this which meant we had to eat out all the time, where we wanted a relaxed holiday just sitting on the decking enjoying the view. When all the campers was there was quite noisy as they was really close to the caravan. One night we had about 6 young people I had to ask them if they could turn the music down which they did but later at night the took wood from a store near the bins and made a large fire which created lots of smoke where we had to sit inside the test of the night. Its a pity because with a little TLC the caravan and gardens would be lovely as the views are beautiful.
