Staff are friendly. Cabins need updating so felt it was pretty average. I expected it to be in better condition for the money spent. It was clean, however lots of spiders.

Loved the cabin. It had everything we needed. The room with the double bed could have been a bit larger so that one could get round the bed but otherwise no complaints whatsoever. Brilliant!!
