The unit we were in was tidy and had a heater. Shared bathroom facilities and a communal kitchen. Not far to the airport from this holiday park. I found the staff friendly. Only thing is that the accommodation is near roads, in the morning could hear traffic. The park is child friendly.

Excellent facilities and friendly, helpful and efficient staff who provided everything we needed and more (I really appreciated the heater pool). We stayed in a spacious ensuite family cabin with a well equipped kitchen. The holiday park is conveniently located near the airport and shops, and there are some lovely nature walks nearby. It’s one of the best holiday parks we’ve ever been to. We really enjoyed our week, thank you!
