John Ireland

The location was perfect to travel around the area. We chose this location so we could visit our friends staying at a local caravan park, and it was perfect. We loved the idea of the breakfast hamper, so you could have breakfast at your leisure. If you wanted anything different from what was given you only had to ask, but they did give you options anyway.The grounds were so quiet you could sleep well every night,and be ready for the next day. The rooms facilities were replenished everyday so you always had refreshments. Parking facilities were good and you felt safe. Thanks to Rob & Lauren for making our stay so nice, and good luck for your future.
