A bit disappinting
Location was very good comfortable bed the cleaning could be better hairs found on towels not had a hoover. Bring your own shower gel etc. reception staff very nice but when request had to go further the manager was nonchalant. As no breakfast is offered then perhaps a toaster could be given not just a kettle. Lots of trip hazards on decking.

Beautiful View
Have stayed here twice as it is such a calm space with a beautiful aspect of the beach and pond. I did have an issue with the smoke alarm but was transferred to another room by a helpful staff member.

We attended our daughter’s wedding here and many of the guests stayed in the accommodation. The bungalows were beautiful, very comfortable and well equipped. The wedding reception staff were friendly and wonderful. Was a perfect day and night for our families.

Lovely quiet bungalow facing a pond and a shrt walk to the beach. Room is spacious with large seatng area at the front. Open bathroom is starting to age with noisy ceiling fans, sticky rusted stoppers and mold on the mirror frames behind each sink. Small kitchenette with rounded sink that splash water onto the counter top.

Kitchen had none of normal facilities.
No plates, knives, toaster.
No microwave which we needed to heat medical heat pads.
Pub not open for breakfast, so no alternative other than to go out of premises.
No parking near bungalow or trolley for bags.
