Good Points
Staff were wonderful, polite and very helpful. Even though there was only 3/4 children for the Loopy club it was carried out every night and my grandchildren adored him.

Bad Points
Shop never open, closes at 2pm weekdays! The pool closes too early, this is summer and it needs to open til at least 6pm or longer so that you can have a dip after a long day out.

General Comments
We have just returned from a 5 day break at this very clean and looked after park. I read the reviews before I went and was filled with dread about going. I even tried to arrange for an alternative park!

On our arrival we were greeted by a friendly chap who gave us all the info on the park. Our caravan was a new one and was clean and tidy (the only thing missing was a toaster). The beach is not really one as such it is more like a man-made sandpit at the edge of the Blackwater. We went out daily to other beaches and spent the whole day out. The club, even though mostly empty had a real family feel I suspect this was because there was so few of us. You need to be able to drive for this park as it is down a very long lane and in the middle of nowhere. we had ducks outside our caravan every morning which the children found great pleasure in feeding.

I must say for my grandchildren this park was a little too quite but for me a great haven for a peaceful holiday.

To end with the pool was lovely and warm, like a bath and most times there was no more then 4/5 of us in it.
