"Check in was quick and easy with helpful staff. The room was very big and spacious and was quiet. The only issue with the room was the pillows were not the best and were quite flat and unsupportive. The onsite pool was very nice too. They had a restaurant onsite which we didn't try but good to know was there. They are also doing renovation work currently (which didn't disturb us) but they are building a new cafe too which will be a nice addition to the site."

Mine had a frig and microwave, but I ate at the on site bistro almost daily, which was really good. The WiFi works in the cabin, and i did watch some movies as well. The cabins are close together, but it still feels like your own little space; quiet and cozy."
