Avoid, not worth a cent for one night!
It’s such an old and dated caravan park and isn’t even worth $97 a night which ends up being $99 (that’s the cheapest room due to CC charges). There was still dirt on the floor inside my cabin. Lots of things falling apart or on their last legs. Water was dripping underneath the kitchen cupboard from sink into a large saucepan which was already half full of water. The toilet roll holder was hanging sideways by 1 screw.
What really annoyed me was the heating selection on the air conditioner didn’t work and being winter , I froze all night & not even the 2 blankets kept me warm. The soap was so small and thin it hardly washed you all over for 1 shower. It was such a joke, and I’m trying to get my money back from Hotels.com or part there of.
Please avoid this place because it’s certainly not worth a cent that they are asking for per night.

The property was well located for our purposes. We didn't use the facilities outside the cabin so can't comment on those although it was quiet and peaceful.
The toilet leaked and there was very little water pressure for a shower, unable to moderate temperature of water between very hot or cold.

Pool was not cleaned and was a health hazard. The cabins needed a facelift in line with the cost of 95$ a night. Convenient to the bowls green where we were competing.

Our stay was ok.
Didn't like that the pool was very dirty. Unusable really. The toilet block facilities were very old and some were broken. The communal rubbish bins were overflowing. The cabins were very expensive considering how old they were. Booking for an extra cabin wasn't put in the books because it was booked online. The concrete pads where our van was parked was in very poor repair.
The things we likes were the convenience to our bowls venue. The lovely staff members (one in particular). We were not hasseled when we were there. Felt safe.
Midges were pretty bad at night, but that is no fault of the park.

We checked in and headed straight out to visit family. After returning late, we discovered blood stains on the sheets and urine stains in the shower. We didnt stay that night, and raised these issues when we checked out the next morning. The staff member was unable to help.
We contacted Expedia to see if we could arrange a refund. The Expedia agent called the property and whoever they spoke to had the audacity to say all their sheets were brand new, when we had photos clearly showing the stains. The property refused a refund for the night.

Grounds need a good tidy up, cabins need to be cleaned properly as we found the kitchen cupboards / drawers to be dirty inside along with the utensils that needed to be washed before using. Pool was dirty. Gardens need tlc especially weeding. Cabin was dark and dingy.

I booked my stay and no one turned up at reception to let me in which left me with trying to find accommodation late afternoon/ evening. I made several calls and no answer very disappointing and stressful when all I wanted was a bed and shower
