Colin
Date of stay: 21st September 2025

Quiet site for an ideal get away. Some doors did mot shut so had to be wedged to stop banging during the night. Fishing lakes and insight cafe, didn't use either due to weather. Steam railway runs down the side of site and adds a novel interest throughout your stay. No contact with staff due to no booking in requirements and keys at lodge accessible via key safe. 9am check out which seems early and you have to put towels, tea towles and bedding into 3 different coloured bags? Security barrier controlled by car registration but was always up and supermarkets do deliver to lodges. Tesco, Allington and Lidl just a mile up the road. Easy acces to major roads and local amenities.
