10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2024
I was a bit apprehensive before going to the property but on arrival it was all that it was described as and more. The kids made full use of the hot tub, sauna, water activity equipment, table tennis and the massage chair.
The range of kitchen equipment was impressive, it wouldn’t matter what you decided to cook for a party of 12 there was everything you needed.
We even had the weather and a number of people in the party got burnt - me being one! We will be back again - thank you!
