Liked: Clean and quiet Very nice friendly lady in reception Park-and-ride was excellent, although a little bit far from the site
Disliked: Too far from shops Hot water setting for 15 seconds is not sufficient for a shower. I was forever pressing the button to get more water. Terrible potholes in the roads near site Was difficult to find and poorly posted
