  • "This is a lovely, well-appointed huge caravan."

    It is nice and warm even in October. It has good Wi-Fi at 30Mbps, but it does have a child lock, which causes problems with some banking apps. Fortunately, my VPN gets around this. There is a nice pub on site, which is an easy walk from the caravan.

  • "Bathroom shower leaks so badly it flows onto the bathroom floor and soaks up bedroom wall, kitchen tap leaks leaving small puddles on the work surface."

    No instructions for any appliances and none for the TV, the grill didn't work. Although washing machine available and washing pole, no hole to put it in we were told to ask a neighbour could we borrow their line. No tin opener! Blinds really dusty, inside the ovens dirty, cupboard doors dirty and floors not washed. It was a disapointment. Good point it was warm and comfortable.

    Thank you for your feedback and I would like to comment on each point you made. 1. The shower has never leaked for any of our other guests however I will have this checked immediately. 2. I will also check the kitchen tap and thank you for bringing this to my attention. 3. I will put in place a document to help guests use the TV and washing machine. 4. I have checked the grill and it works perfectly. As you recall I attended to show you how to work the gas cooker rings as you never used one before. 5. I am unsure why you mentioned the neighbour in relation to washing line . This facility is available. 6. A tin opener is available as is all kitchen appliances. 7. The blinds are cleaned after every guest leaves however due to the dry weather dust has been extremely bad on the park this year. 8. The oven is continually cleaned and left in pristine condition for the next guests. 9. The cupboard doors are cleaned after every guest leaves. 10. The floors are cleaned after every guest leaves. I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay. As this is the first negative review I have received I will be dealing with your comments as soon as possible. I always inform guests to call me if they have any problems. It would have been nice to mention some of the good points. You where left treats for your dog. Tea, coffee and fresh milk in the fridge. Orange juice, bottles of water and biscuits also left in the fridge to name but a few. Again thank you for your stay. Bernie Property Owner
