Excellent Barn Stay!

modern accommodationclean accommodationspacious ensuitehelpful staff

The 2-bedroom Barn accommodation was modern. It felt spacious and clean. Our teenagers had plenty of space. Our room had an ensuite bathroom. I found the reception staff very helpful. They checked me in quickly. The staff gave a cute first impression. I will stay here again.

The gym and tennis courts were looking a little tired. Upgrading them would be beneficial. This issue did not overly bother me. They still did the job, and having them on-site was a bonus.

the luxury apartment had essentials. the park was clean and picturesque and quiet. i found the contemporary fixtures and furnishings to be super clean, it was a real plus.

I found the hot water temperature concerning. It was scalding for a small child. i noticed there wasn't much water pressure in the showers if more than one person was using them. the bathroom tiled floor was cracked and tired looking too.
