It's a wonderfully clean, spacious and well equipped holiday home. Pearl lake is the best, most peaceful, and beautiful holiday park we have ever visited. We have fallen in love with the area too with so many places of interest, gorgeous towns, and stunning countryside of both England and Wales within easy reach. 5 star holiday. We will be back.

The caravan itself was exceptionally clean, very comfortable and equipped with everything you need. It has a lovely outlook towards the golf course. The park itself is immaculately maintained and inspite of a very wet week even walks around the lake with the dog were very enjoyable without coming back muddy as I had expected. The area has plenty to offer from pretty villages, interesting towns and lovely scenery. All in all a wonderful relaxing holiday. We will be back.
