The Lodge is very comfortable but could do extra furniture on the decking

Only slight negative was poor Wi-Fi and TV signal in the caravan. This didnt bother us but may do for some families with teenagers perhaps.

We were particularly pleased to find that there was a small en suite attached to the main bedroom which was extremely useful.

The lodge was so lovely. Evening was clean and had the amount of things needed. The hot tub was fab and someone came to check it everyday so we were able to discuss any issues or instructions with them. The beds were comfy and the WiFi helps so much. We loved having access to Netflix and prime on the tv and could have a movie night. Loads of storage. Fantastic

Pleasant caravan with amenities which you would expect. Could do with a mop/ hoover in the cleaning cupboard though.

Facilities were very good with the exception of the WiFi and internet connection, which were poor.

Just a couple of negatives. The toaster wss broken. And the cushions on the dining table & seating areas were a little bit grubby. Otherwise the caravan was fairly standard by todays examples

Everything was nice, so clean. Perhaps a few more crockery items would be a good idea as the dishwasher took a while to fill up.

Every kitchen utensil was there including separate under counter fridge and freezer so loads of room for groceries. Large TV and comfortable sofa, even the WiFi was pretty good ( for this area )

Loved our caravan, only thing I would say is watch the carpet joining strips, there were sharpe areas on the strip where it didnt meet! Also housekeeping - main window was definitely not cleaned, full of hand prints and maybe dog licks! And we had 2 info folders, from last year and this? Great size, plenty of storage and perfect for us though.

We always stay in the cabins are the top of the site, beautiful and cosy with fantastic large hot tub to enjoy.We did feel that our recent stay at the cabin it looked a bit run down sadly! The outer fittings ie fencing etc were becoming very loose and worn just needs a little tlc to get it back to life. Beds are a bit firm for me but nothing to complain about, facilities indoors are great but again a little run down. Definitely does not put us off coming in future as we really do love the location and atmosphere here but possibly would try caravan next time ??

Nice caravan in a fantastic location on site a bit let down by the bed and to a lesser extent the seating.

Amazing to have Ozzi, a male Osprey, looking over us everyday, sitting in a tree opposite our lodge, whilst Red Kites swooped around us at virtually ground level, every dayThe facilities and restaurant, at the Park, were outstanding.Although we don't play golf, it was great to see play in action in this most delightful setting

Really lovely few days staying In Merlin 1, which was a wonderful lodge, had everything we could have needed. Staff were helpful, had issue with heating and maintenance came over and fixed within 10minutes, couldnt fault them. If anything would be nice to have a few amenities such as shop, but was 15 minute drive into supermarkets and local shop not too far though didnt use so not sure what they sold. Clubhouse is good, small arcade, gym equipment and pool. Which was busy but expected over holidays. Food in the clubhouse was delicious, extremely attentive staff the food was exceptional. Lovely few days away, would come back, area nice few things to keep occupied for a relaxing break.

No idea what was premier about this caravan It looked to only be a year old the mattress in the main bedroom was very poor quality and the bed linen was certainly not premier it is very different from the pictures Hoseasons post online Yes this is on a golf resort but the staff on the reception were not very welcoming got the impression that they did not want to promote any of the facilities on site especially the pool can understand having time slots but got the impression they were very regimented

We had a really lovely time staying here. Sharon and Robert were fantastic hosts, making us feel so welcome from the start. The place had everything we needed - clean, comfy and secure for our dog Archie, which was a big plus. The location was perfect with loads of nice walks nearby and exploring Thaxted and the surrounding villages was such a treat. We definitely left feeling refreshed and relaxed!

The caravan was ok, some of the handles were loose and it was not as well maintained as other parks we have stayed in. The park advertised as having WiFi available however this was not accessible in our caravan and when I spoke to multiple members of the staff team about this, nobody appeared interested in resolving the issue. This would not have been such an issue had there been mobile signal but this was not available on park either. The only positive I had was the food on site as this was lovely. Its a shame the other issues were not resolved or even appreciated as an issue, as we will be visiting the area a lot over the next few years and could have been repeat customers.

We had such a lovely stay! The cottage was spotlessly clean and really well stocked with everything we needed. Our dog loved the nearby walks and meeting Penelope the pig was a real highlight. The host was super friendly and quick to reply. Honestly, its great value and were already planning our next trip. Highly recommend!

We found the beds and sofa incredibly comfy and the wet room's accessibility was spot on. Overall, the Lodge truly felt like a home away from home!

We had an enjoyable week in the caravan and the location was perfect for exploring Aberaeron, Llanbed and Aberystwyth. The place felt really cosy and comfy, which we appreciated after long days out. However, we did have to clean all the cutlery and dishes when we arrived because they were dirty and the cupboards werent very tidy. Also, we had to buy a shaver adapter since there was no plug for shaving. It wouldve been nice to have pillow, mattress and duvet protectors, especially with all the COVID stuff. Still, beds were comfy. Diolch!
