I had a lovely stay at this holiday park, with great facilities for the kids and a cozy atmosphere. The staff were helpful and the park felt safe for my children to play. However, I did experience some noise from the neighboring units, which was quite bothersome at times. Overall, it was good value for money, especially with the winter promotions available.

I had a great time at the resort, enjoying the clean and well-kept facilities, especially the playground and swimming pool for the kids. The camping area is exceptional, but unfortunately, we encountered noise issues in our ground floor unit that made our stay a bit uncomfortable. Overall, it's a fantastic place with a lot to offer families, but do keep in mind the potential noise if you're on the ground floor.

We had a ground floor room that was unfortunately too noisy for a good night's sleep. The noise from above was quite disruptive, and even though I requested a room change, there weren’t other available options.

We had a nice stay at the resort, enjoying the recently renovated holiday unit with comfortable beds and a clean bathroom. The location was a bit far from town but it was peaceful and the resort was not busy during our off-season visit. On the downside, we experienced noise from a nearby party one evening, and some amenities could use improvement. Overall, it was a good value for money, especially in the off-season.

We had a family holiday at this resort, which had its ups and downs. The unit was clean and provided a modern kitchenette, but it lacked space and comfort for our family of six. The property has fantastic family-friendly activities, but the on-site restaurant felt overpriced. Overall, I’d consider returning but would prefer a larger villa for more room to relax.

The deluxe en-suite unit was tidy and modern, but extremely compact with no lounge area to relax.

The family activities like big chess and a jumping pillow were a hit with the kids, but the pool was too shallow for adults.

We enjoyed our family holiday at the resort, finding it to be tidy and modern with great family activities on-site. The unit we stayed in was a bit too compact for our liking, and while the facilities were excellent, the dining experience was lacking due to high prices. Overall, we had a good stay but would prefer a larger unit next time.
