Our stay here was wonderful. Location loses one star due to the closeness to A31 and traffic noise, but we knew that before booking. The site is simple but friendly, clean and stunning. We can wholly recommend this site, especially for short stays.
Great one night stay

Staff were very welcoming. Others around the site were polite and respectful. We did notice a very large group of 20 somethings who were playing loud music for around 20 mins, but I think someone must have said something to them and they turned it down. Very lovely one night away.
Convenient and value for money
