What could be improved: We loved the shower and the van.
The only down side was that the shower got clogged up, but was to do with the drain we were told. Other than that the water pressure and shower was very nice.
The van didn't have heating, or we didn't know where to find it. Otherwise comfortable and quiet surroundings.

Room was great. Shower and toilet is outside but NO BUGS and shower was AMAZING

What could be improved: Room did have small ants come in when food was left on table. (even just 10 minutes and they were there)
Door to cabin as quiet difficult to lock.

Bathroom very clean. Check in ladies were lovely.

What could be improved: Floor was absolutely flilthy, I had to sweep the whole cabin and collected a big pile of dirt and sand. Bottom bunk bed under the sheet was covered in crumbs, dirt and hair. Light bar was hanging from the roof and one light was flickering which was very irritating. Bed was extremely uncomfortable, no support, was lumpy and had to sleep on a slant. Would not stay here again. Checked in just before reception closed at 5pm so couldn't address these issues.
