    Super lovely receptionist, really friendly and helpful staff. Booked a super standard cabin sleeps 6, clean, towels provided and friendly neighbourhood cats! Family orientated - nice touches with things to borrow or hire (ie. board games, bikes, fun carts). Clean facilities, 2 kitchens, great showers.

    Family friendly, great set up for children and the bouncy pillow outside was a massive hit.. Really helpful and friendly staff. The unit was clean, modern and had everything needed to make our own meals. It was a bonus to be able to borrow a DVD player and DVDs for the children at no cost too.

    Excellent family-friendly accommodation! We booked the super standard cabin which was warm and comfortable. The facilities for this kind of cabin are shared but the bathroom/shower/toilet were clean with lots of hot water, and the kitchen was great too, with everything you need to make dinner. The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. Bonus: the jumping pillow and playground were so much fun for my kids! Highly recommended for families.
