We had a fantastic time and the property was perfect for us. My only niggle would be that the barbecue is faulty (ignition, temperature control) meaning that we had to use matches and it was difficult to cook on

I believe that silverlake would benefit from an onsite 'farm' shop, and evening bar/restaurant. I also believe that as well the evening 11pm noise policy, that an early morning, say 8 am policy should be introduced. We also felt that it would be nice to complete full loops of the waterways ra...

We spotted a mice around the outdoor furniture. We were worried that they might enter the property when the doors are opened during this hot weather. We understand that the weather is not normal for the UK but can electrical fans be provided as the property doesnt have air conditioning.

The food at the Hatch was excellent. We could not relax in the pool as younger people and their parents were playing with balls in the water which narrowly missed our heads on occasions.

No 30 Overton Island was a lovely house and we enjoyed having the small garden space outside the lounge where we could sit in the evenings. One comment to note is that the owner should consider replacing the double mattress in the children's room on the bottom bunk bed as you can feel the springs...

We enjoyed our stay, though some shade over the outside table and seating area would have been appreciated. For 10 adults we really needed more glasses and mugs and the occasional clean under sofas would not go amiss. But generally the house was clean and well equipped and there was a good amount...

There was an employee at the gate when we arrived who was very helpful with instructions about where to drive to locate Beaumont Village 2-3, checking we had all codes to enter etc. This was reassuring for us. It took a long time for the gates to open at the exit. Uncertain whether gates had to o...

We absolutely loved staying at Wildside WI15 and would recommend it to anyone. Just a few things to note for some small improvements on your side: 1) the equipment hub was great, but it would be amazing if there was an official launch pad just next to the hub. It was slightly annoying to lug ...
