Weekend Trip to Waterfront Holiday Park

We loved staying at this place. It was quite, peaceful, and comfortable. There is no activities at the property such as water skiing or kayaking, but you can bring your own to enjoy. The hosts are super friendly and helpful. We went to the nearby pub and get to know some locals. Overall, it was enjoyable stay.
