James, May 2025

Overall atmosphere

A very pleasant site with easy access to many local places worth visiting and sufficient on-site activities to keep us busy on days when we didn’t want to travel. The cost was very reasonable and, given the high quality of the site and welcoming staff, we would certainly consider returning again in future.
