If you are a group of cyclists or motorbikers, maybe this is the place for you, but, for a business traveller, no way. I was on a very low budget as they do not pay me for accommodation, so I searched the cheapest and closest place to where I had to be, this AGODA site is VERY misleading because the Holiday Village called me to say that the £24 that I have paid is only for a Caravan Site, and they were asking me what size Caravan I have got .... there was no mentioning in the AGODA booking about a caravan or a clear explanation of what am I paying £24 for, that was the first strike. Second is when I had to pay £40 extra for an upgrade which, in all honesty, I would have been better off sleeping in my car. They booked me into a hut, a wooden cabin shaped like a tent, with a huge bed but with a gap line right in the middle of it, which is REALLY felt. The checking in is really simple, they give you a code for the gates, they give you a code for the key box, and voilà, staff sounds really friendly over the emails and correspondence over Whatsapp, and the couple of maintenance guys I came in contact with, asking them about where the hut is, and where am I allowed to park were pretty helpful and pleasant, but, this is where the good stuff ends apart from the location, but we get to that later ..... I was given a Wi-Fi network and a password to join the "free Wi-Fi" they so proudly advertise, one of the reasons I booked was this, because I thought being in the middle of nowhere, no chance I will have mobile connectivity up there, I mean we are talking about England here, a country that's still in the pre-stoneage regarding connectivity, only to be told when I was in the room that "the huts are not connected to any wi-fi router ......" how convenient eh? Luck had it that my unlimited mobile internet worked fine, and I was able to do the things I needed doing, but, why advertise something that you can't live up to, when required? There is a kettle in the room, and a fridge, but, this is pretty much where the facilities end up, no running water, no toilet, you have to walk about 30 meters in the freezing cold (yes it was a very cold frosty night and windy) to use the toilet, get water for the kettle, or to have a shower ..... I already mentioned that the night was really cold, could have done with a heater that worked for more than 3 minutes at a time, well, this one didn't, it was starting, then stopping and not starting again unless you tweaked it, I slept in freezing cold, without even a proper quilt to cover myself with, just a thin blanket and the sheets ..... SO, SO BAD, what if I had someone old, who can't regulate their body temperature like I do, with me? Tv in the room, but the remote batteries, the ones that you can check how much "juice" is in them, completely drained, had to find a certain position in which to hold the remote so it gets direct line, to have a small chance to actually work, I repeat, maintenance guys around the site ....

We arrived to a stunning cottage. The staff were so helpful. The cottage and grounds very clean and tidy. It was just what we wanted peace and tranquility. The place is situated right near all public transport. We are already looking at dates to come back. Absolutely beautiful place can’t fault this place at all. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff. Sheryl p

The cottage was not like the photos online . Oven dirty and greasy with left over chips . Stained cushions . You could write your name in the dust on the hob and on the top of the leather chair . The place is run down and tired . Worn floor and evidence of damp . Basic cheap bedding . Cutlery in drawer greasy . Absolutely nothing to like ! Needs modernising and a new cleaner

We stayed in 'The Nest' which is described as 'the most tranquil and romantic spot to watch the sun go down over the hills' which it sadly is not, far from it to be honest! It faces the carparking for the motor homes so you open your curtains to be faced with motor homes and their occupiers looking back at you. It is also next to the kids swing set. Not romantic or tranquil as we were expecting. The Nest itself was a lot more tired looking that i expected too, marks on the walls and dirty curtains.. I wouldn't recommend staying here, which is a shame as the site itself is nice in terms of the grounds/outdoor space.
