"Stayed in the penthouse - it was a huge apartment and was generally very functional, despite a few quirks. The view across the lake was very satisfying and could be enjoyed from the balcony or just sitting in armchairs inside with a coffee. TVs were new, big and easily connected to Netflix and YouTube (bonus points). Beds were firm but acceptable, bathrooms were huge but basic (some extra towel rails wouldn't go astray), had a nice work desk and office chair for the unfortunate work distractions...

"We stayed two nights at the Black Dolphin Holiday Park in an Island cabin. The cabin had very little space with all bags needing to be placed on the floor for the two days. Overall the park is well positioned over the bridge from the shopping area and easy to get around. If we stayed here again, we would choose a larger cabin."
