Tom
Date of stay: 2nd November 2024

We had a really good stay! The caravan was perfect for our budget and had everything we needed, even salt and vinegar for our Friday night chippy. It was so easy to just arrive, unpack and start relaxing. The shower was surprisingly great - hot water and strong pressure, which felt like a bit of luxury. Definitely recommend for a simple, hassle-free getaway. Well be back!
