    “Fabulous we loved it!”

    Location is really great, facilities are great. Took us a day or two to work out the parking but once you are used to it you can get 4 cars on the front and a transit at the back. It’s literally 5 mins walk from the lake great for a wild swim before breakfast! Kids loved the table tennis in the cellar, it was like a ‘den’ for them.
