Although the resort was clean and had excellent activities for children. Gate was missing from patio area of the lodge leading out onto the road, with hard gavel standings on the lodge outside area so not suitable for young children.

The stay on the whole was excellent. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a slight issue with the back door in regard to the locking but this was only a minor inconvenience. We will be back again.

It’s a really lovely chalet arrangement. Staff are friendly and welcoming. There was no Wi-Fi in the chalet and the cleanliness average but not as well equipped as we are use to. Just a few extra wouldn’t go unnoticed such as a couple of blankets a couple of extra glasses and cutlery maybe. But to finish on a positive the Hot tub was well maintained as well as the pool an overall nice place to stay close to the beach and many other attractions.

The property was very spacious with two good size bedrooms and a good amount of storage space for clothes etc. The kitchen is well appointed with oven, microwave and a large fridge/freezer. There are 4 sets of plates, bowls, glasses and cutlery. The living room was spacious but the seating is limited with a small sofa and one separate chair other than the 4 dining chairs. We also had a hot tub which was checked twice daily by the site staff and was set at a good temperature. Overall this is a great property in a great location near to the bay and a short drive from the Needles.

Great stay, reasonable price. Hot tub water smelt a bit odd but I think they treated the water during our stay as it improved.

Great location so close to the water and plenty of room for the two of us. Don’t think they have wifi but wasn’t a big issue for us.
