My stay at the park hotel was thoroughly enjoyable, with clean and comfortable rooms and a peaceful atmosphere. The grounds were spacious, and the pool provided a refreshing escape after a day of exploring. However, I did encounter issues with bugs both inside and outside the room, which detracted from the experience. Also, the dining experience was a bit challenging with flies around the outdoor tables, but the food was excellent and generous in portion.

I had a wonderful two-day stay at the caravan park, enjoying its peaceful atmosphere and the beauty of the gardens. The owners were incredibly welcoming, and the restaurant offered reasonably priced meals along with nightly entertainment, which was a delightful surprise. However, the amenities could use some updates, and there is a staff shortage that sometimes impacts service. Despite this, the experience felt like great value for money.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location is convenient for travelers passing through, and the owners are friendly, trying to make the best of the situation. However, the room was extremely basic and bug-ridden, which was quite uncomfortable. The dining experience was decent, but there were too many insects around, making it hard to enjoy my meals properly.

The park hotel offers a very basic setup that may only work for a one-night stay, especially for those who value comfortable accommodations. The welcoming atmosphere from the new owners is a plus, and there are some nice outdoor spaces. However, the lack of amenities like Wi-Fi and seating in the room detracts from the overall experience.

I had quite an experience at this campground. While it was bustling, it lacked essential amenities, making it less enjoyable for a quiet stay. The activities at night were unexpected and not what I hoped for in a relaxing getaway. However, the management was friendly, and the food was decent, with a great pool to cool off in.
