The property was well located for our purposes. We didn't use the facilities outside the cabin so can't comment on those although it was quiet and peaceful.
The toilet leaked and there was very little water pressure for a shower, unable to moderate temperature of water between very hot or cold.

Our stay was ok.
Didn't like that the pool was very dirty. Unusable really. The toilet block facilities were very old and some were broken. The communal rubbish bins were overflowing. The cabins were very expensive considering how old they were. Booking for an extra cabin wasn't put in the books because it was booked online. The concrete pads where our van was parked was in very poor repair.
The things we likes were the convenience to our bowls venue. The lovely staff members (one in particular). We were not hasseled when we were there. Felt safe.
Midges were pretty bad at night, but that is no fault of the park.

The unit/cabin that we were in was dusty, mold in the bathroom. The cutlery was not clean. There was a split in the panelling of the wall and you could see outside.
The whole overall feeling was very unkepted and not maintained.
