Great location
The plastic undersheets which squeaked every time I moved and they made us sweat are they really necessary?
7 / 10Good·Aug 2026
Location was excellent. Staff were friendly and happy to help, even when they were really busy. Chocolate brownie Sundaes are to die for hehehe. Shower was GREAT!!!
Understaffed. No storage for clothes in the two man rooms. Toilets aren’t managed properly!!! Give 2 pillows not 1.

For campers (cost 5 GBP) this is a really good value. For people who stay in the pods (cost $181 US dollars), it’s NOT WORTH IT. there are very nice hotels within one mile and for only $30 US dollars more other places would include: TOWELS!! an en-suite bath, a heated towel rack, a bedside lamp, plus full breakfast for only a tiny bit more. This pod had one ugly fluorescent light, no table lamp, no smoke detector, no towels and you walked thru 2 inch puddles, past an ugly yellow metal recycle bin and trash to get to a bathroom all for $181 US dollars. One can rent towels, but they may want to reconsider charging people who rent the pods for a towel. It feels like being nickel and dimed.
Poorly maintained bathrooms… the outdoor bathroom closest to the pods has a loose toilet seat and it was dirty.
Toilets on the main floor of the building… one was clogged, filled poo and toilet paper, and door handle to enter/exit was broken, one bathroom was out of toilet paper and on the third the toilet handle was broken and couldn’t flush. This was at 8:30am at the highest point of use. These toilets are at least 20+ years old and need to be replaced.
