Me my husband and 9yr old daughter got there Friday night and stayed in a bronze caravan on parklands for 3 nights as we had taken our two dogs.The caravan was relatively clean, except cobwebs and lots of spiders but it is woodland and there are a lot of ventilation holes, so to be expected. Bedrooms clean,bathroom was clean, shower was better than the one we own at home, nice hot water! The carpets could do with being ripped up and replaced with flooring of some sort as dogs stay in these and the carpet had seen better days, I had to keep telling my daughter to get off the floor and sit on the sofas to play as the carpet felt tacky. Windows could of done with a clean on the outside but the caravan was ok for our short stay! Wouldn't of liked to of stayed any longer than 3 nights. The outside of the caravan consists of a little pathway (not good as it rained the whole time and the path turned to mud from the edges of the grass) they could do with expanding the paths. My partner and daughter went to the swimming pools which were apparently good! The food is rubbish and well over priced and the staff at the restaurant all seem a bit simple and not to helpful . The entertainment staff were good if your child is aged 2-8 ! The outside activity park at the manor house is fantastic, the best thing for my 9 yr old daughter. P.s the holiday resort is very hilly!! Please do your research before you go, beach 15 minute drive away!! The people who are private tenants on the park seemed very friendly, as did the lady in the on site parkland shop. Overall we enjoyed our break but I'm not sure if we'd return .
