Great stay overall but the place needs a bit of TLC. Sofas ripped and the floors very dirty.

Really clean and spacious caravan, very pretty setting. The only mark down on cleanliness was for the pool and changing areas, it was a nice pool but there wasn't really anywhere to change and leave stuff, and the general changing area/ toilets could've done with more regular cleaning. The caravan and everywhere else was very clean though, we had a lovely stay and would return.

Value for money for our type of stay. Spacious it being what it is, you can not get this in a B&B or hotel for that price. Very central on the island which was great for us.

Peaceful and relaxing, just what we needed.
Clean accommodation although sofa was a bit uncomfortable, cushions would help,but would definitely stay again. Rookley is very well maintained and staff are very welcoming.

No wifi. In 2024... Surely Away Resorts can afford to put wifi in all cabins. Their competitors can...

The caravan was well presented and clean. The resort was an ideal place to base our holiday and was within easy reach of all the places of interest we wanted to visit. Facilities at the resort were good but if you want to use the swimming pool book your slot when you arrive as there is limited availability.
The co-op store just across the road from the resort is extremely useful for those essentials you have either forgotten or need.
I advise taking some oven gloves if you intend to cook as these are not supplied.
