Really comfortable and clean ????

Brian
Date of stay: 23rd July 2025

The caravan was very clean and well maintained and comfortable. We enjoyed the picnic table situated outside the caravan too.. There were tea and coffee samples provided, a tea towel etc, nice touch for a caravan. Could have done with a lamp in the living room rather than having to use ceiling lights in the evening (personal preference). However, we had a very enjoyable stay, and I would definitely recommend.
