Friendly staff and the cottage was great (perfect for four of us - plenty of room and in a quiet part of the camp). Early morning on the first day, and shower was fine. Second day, later start and no pressure or hot water in the shower.

Cabin was spacious and in a good location. Everything was clean but some of the furniture was a little worn and some of the fabric stained. As it was self catering it would have been helpful to have a t-towel to be able to dry up when washing up.
