We have stayed before and rebooked for a stay over the summer holidays. My children loved the lodge with it being spacious and all the games available. They especially enjoyed playing bat and ball over the net outside the lodge and creating their own fort in the bedroom. They also enjoyed playing in the outdoor playground on site, going to the arcades and I enjoyed having a drink at the clubhouse during the day (if you head to the clubhouse after their evening entertainment starts at 6pm you have to pay to enter, but can enter for free before this). The lodge is well equipped with everything you could need and was clean upon arrival. We were able to order a takeaway who delivered to the holiday park and we also made use of the outdoor BBQ available. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming and the sign welcoming us to the lodge is a nice touch.

The lodge was spacious and really well equipped for children with lots of different games. The owner was also very accommodating when we wished to change guests for which we're very grateful. So all in all a great week!

It truly was a "games" lodge. My youngest grandson was in seventh heaven! Lol Very spacious and comfortable lodge with every amenity. Twin beds throughout were very comfortable. Utility area where you enter the lodge was useful and there was a small ensuite in the main bedroom which was a god send for us grandparents...lol TVs in two of the bedrooms and an extra one in the lounge for the XBox. Just a slight concern that none of these three TVs were actually fixed to the wall/desk, but just propped up. Also the majority of the lodge was clean, but there were a few areas where it could have been a bit cleaner (dust on some of the shelves/back of the bed, and on the base of the shower). On the whole though a very nice, spacious lodge where we had a great holiday. Owner lives next door and was very friendly and helpful, but not intrusive. Be aware that this lodge is not part of the Park Holidays site that it is on and we had to pay extra for use of the facilities (which was £100 for the 6 of us and that was only because the lady at reception did us a deal!).
