Liked: Location was perfect for exploring Swanage and the surrounding areas
Disliked: The showers often had blocked drains and we're only cleaned once per day, with still grass, hair and sand in them. Works by water pump so though it was very hot it came out alow and had sometimes almost run out by the end of the day. There is also no temperature control.
