Cottage, 5 Bedrooms, Kitchen, Garden Area | Private kitchen

"The chalets are nice and well equipped but suffer from thin walls and lots of road noise, with the chalet shaking when large lorries went past. The complementary ear plugs were welcome but not really ideal - especially as they did nothing to stop the walls shaking. There were also lots of squashed mosquitos and other insects against the walls and ceiling (particularly in the bathroom) which made the chalet feel a bit grubby. "

"Amazing location and an amazing experience. Only criticism was WiFi was limited and although there was a TV, there was no TV aerial (you can borrow DVDs for free from reception). Note the dome gets hot during the day and cool during the night and there is the odd bug. HOWEVER it is a tent so expected and not a criticism. Overall I highly recommend it and I would stay there again! "
