No major issues with the room, but the description said kitchenette but that was definitely not the case. There was only a small fridge/freezer, which affected my plans to prepare food.

We booked the seperate 1 bedroom cabin. Had plenty of room, nicely decorated and the queen bed was super comfortable. Had a great sleep as the cabin is at the back away from the road. Was clean and tidy. Would happily re book.

We had a nice stay, the staff where polite and friendly, the pool was clean, our child enjoyed the playground, the beds where comfortable. Not luxury but not bad for a family with young kids. We did note a concern that we mentioned to staff. I wouldn't say its as bad as some of the google reviews said but our room definitely needed some maintenance in the bathroom and kitchen.
