Lodge was lovely and clean apart from the lounge carpet that needs to be replaced as it was stained and marked throughout and the footstall was broken on one side. Quiet, chilled park and amazing views of the sea, which were just perfect for that weekend away.

An excellent lodge couldnt ask for better. Beds were very comfortable and a good size, they were made up for us on arrival and all rooms were given bath and hand towels of a good size. There was a dishwasher and washing machine in the lodge so that we could spend our time enjoying the holiday not clearing up.
