A simple clean sleek pod exactly as advertised.

No problems at all

The pods are lovely and warm and everything clean

Nothing

It was clean and when the heater was on it was cosy

Thought we would have a kettle and cup at the very least .

Fabulous location, beach was amazing and very clean. The pod was well situated.

Upon our arrival shortly after 5pm, we found that the reception was closed and the door was secure. Our booking indicated check-in from 4pm, so we were somewhat surprised to find no-one available. Fortunately, the adjacent sales office was still open, and the staff member there was exceptionally helpful and courteous. My booking reference did not match the record they had, though all other details were correct, so we were eventually able to check in. It appears that the information I provided on Booking.com was not communicated to the holiday park, but they managed to resolve the issue. The weather was exceptionally warm upon our arrival, and we quickly noticed that only one window in the pod could be opened. The small window above the bunk bed was fixed shut and lacked an air vent. As we were travelling with two assistance dogs, we could not leave the door open overnight for ventilation. This, combined with the 13.5 tog bedding, made the pod very hot and stuffy. The mattresses were quite uncomfortable, and I was quite sore after the stay, we only stayed for two nights. We attempted to dine at the on-site restaurant upon arrival, but the noise from the children’s entertainment and the multiple speakers in the vicinity made it intolerable. Consequently, we chose not to revisit the restaurant during our stay, which was unfortunate, as we would have liked to support the park’s amenities. The toilet block was a good concept; however, it requires a thorough cleaning with bleach or mould spray, as the interior of the shower cubicle showed significant mould and black staining. The external water supply was very hot, whereas the shower inside delivered only lukewarm water, which was very disappointing given the good water pressure. On our final day, whilst packing to leave, we discovered a large puddle of water on the floor at the foot of the double bed. There had been a lot of rain and thunderstorms the night previously.
