The place was lovely, but overall didn’t quite seem catered to Airbnb guests so I can’t give it a full 5 stars.
Some positives, to start with; the room was clean, the bed was very comfortable and soft, had a fridge and some storage drawers/cupboards, some free tea bags & coffee satchels, and the camper bathrooms were seemingly brand new with a full shower. The park was quite beautiful, and it had a lot of useful amenities! However, do keep in mind there are other campers reasonably close, so if you dislike children waking you up at around 6:30am making hoot hoot noises repeatedly for a solid hour, I’d probably opt for their cabins. The tents also absorb light and get very bright the moment the sun comes up, so if light effects you the cabins may also be better, or bring a sleep mask.
As for communication, it was hours late or non existent through the app, and the listing itself doesn’t seem to have been updated for some time. The positive of this is that it does in fact have wifi! But it ends there. Firstly, our tent had a tent floor over wood, rather than the wooden floors pictured, which doesn’t actually bother me but if it’s something you’d care about I’d keep it in mind. The heating is not heating in the sense that it has both a heater and air con, but is in fact a heated mattress pad and air con. The heated mattress pad was appreciated but I found myself overheating and then freezing any limb I popped out to try and regulate my temperature, and to be honest I didn’t really sleep while there despite enjoying my actual time overall.
As for Communication, keep in mind that While this holiday park is on Airbnb, it’s just that, a holiday park. It seems that because of this you don’t really get much interaction on the app aside from booking and have to call whoever is in the office on your mobile, which can’t always guarantee a response if they’re out of the office, or you have to walk to the reception which takes a little bit as the tents are a decent way into the park.
Value wise, the surrounding areas made my stay worth it and I feel like the tent and stay was worth the money overall, but unfortunately, not catering to late checkout which is usually included in almost all hotels, bnb’s and Airbnb’s dropped a bit of the rating for me.
We had to get out by 10 and there was no way to organise a late checkout, and we were told someone was coming and that we had to be out immediately at that time so the cleaners could clean and have them in.
I felt very rushed out after spending money and it felt a little “bleh” as I’ve never had to do that before in my life, and always go for late checkout. In most cases, places have a later checkout for rooms vacated that day to ensure a grace period if people need it, at the very least for an additional fee. I understand needing to make money, but it felt a little cold.
All in all I’d recommend this place if you like holiday and caravan parks, but it’s not really an air “bnb” and you won’t feel as if you have a personal host like usual with the app.
