Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
we stayed in birch and the place is very clean and cosy. the owners were very kind enough to provide coffee/tea and fresh milk available in the caravan as well as toilet rolls, dishwashing tablets and liquid. they also provided towels and even a bath mat (which is very rare in caravans). the cooking equipment is complete and even include a variety of glasswares for drinking alcohol and not just the usual drinking glasses and wine glass. the place is very quiet and the hot tub jets was a lovely treat after a day’s trip. so much to do as place is perfectly situated between bournemouth and weymouth and there is also a beach just 5mins from the accommodation. it was like home away from home. it was an excellent stay and would be recommending it to friends. it’s just a shame it wasn’t that known by many. a hidden gem indeed!
