    The property needs a good deep clean. Some of the basics need an upgrade such as cutlery etc Not having the option of a small vacuum - mostly carpets would have really helped. The set up re parking & grassy walk to accommodation which when wet wasn’t great The shelf in the main bathroom off the main bedroom is a real hazard for head banging ….

    Location. Close to gorgeous beach and many other places that are gorgeous such as Amble, Alnwick etc Short drive to many places of beauty Great wee local ice cream shop by the beach Onsite entertainment reasonable and great for kids

    The caravan was cozy and had great decor. It was one of the best located caravans on the whole property because it was nestled in a quieter corner with lots of grass and greenery just steps from a lovely wooded area. There were even wild rabbits. It was a few metres away from a short cut path through a wooded trail that passes through the historic Pele Tower and directly on towards the beach. Very lovely locstion at the wooded edge of resort.

    The weather didn't play ball and the grass was soaking. Shame there wasn't a path from the carpark to the caravan. The caravan site would really benefit with a gravel path around the grassy area to the caravans

    Beautiful little caravan perfect for a family break

    Access to the caravan was over grass & sadly there has been lots of rain so a mud bath . Very hard with excited grandkids not getting covered in mud . Not ideal for anyone with mobility issues as sank in the mud & slippy .

    Perfect location for the beach . Lovely to have soft throws for comfort. Lovely cosy place to stay

    The walk from where car was parked, very short distance maybe 20m but is across the grass and it was very muddy, a path would be great, worried about bringing mud into van.

    Lovely, comfy caravan, decor was fab, everything we needed, lots of towels. Dog friendly too. Very close to the beach, would be perfect on a summers day.

    The toilet off the living room area was out of order. Not a massive issue for myself and my partner but had there of been more guests staying, using the bathroom through the main bedroom would not be ideal for privacy etc

    Super close to the beach, set in a lovely section of the site, modern nice looking holiday home

    Getting from the car park to the property was a little muddy.

    Everything was provided at the property that you could need. The property was lovely and warm and blankets provided. It was nice that there were simple things like salt and pepper in the property.

    As soon as we entered the caravan, we knew it was going to be a good trip. Everything was perfect. The owners catered to your every need. It didn't feel like you were in a caravan it was more like a cosy cottage. The owners were so helpful in all our questions and queries and our 3 dogs were welcomed

    A vacume cleaner would have been good so that we could have cleaned up better , easier than a dust pan and brush, more towels as the weather wasn't dry enough to dry out the ones we used, but this didn't spoil our stay at all

    The closeness to the beach just minutes away , good for other attractions all quite close. Helpful staff on site

    The only thing I struggled with was the dials on the oven, but it certainly would not put me off staying again, or recommending the property to family or friends.

    Lovely property, very homily. We did not feel like we were staying in a caravan. Good location in the caravan park, very quiet. 5 mins from the beach.
