The stay at this holiday park was quite convenient, being just a short walk from the town, which I loved. The rooms were clean and offered good amenities, but I did face some noise from the nearby highway and train line that disturbed my sleep a bit. Despite some issues with communication regarding the number of guests, the overall experience was rather positive, especially thanks to the well-maintained facilities and friendly staff.

I had a wonderful experience at this park hotel. The facilities were fantastic, including a spacious kitchen, a game room, and even a free hot tub. It felt like a private paradise thanks to the cleanliness and ample space.

We stayed in a brand new cabin that was fully equipped and very comfortable for our needs. The facilities at the park were impressive, offering a wide range of activities and amenities. However, the environment was quite noisy due to road traffic and nearby trains, which detracted from our experience during the night. Overall, it was a good value for money given the modern conveniences and the well-maintained campground.
