Due to extra cleaning (I suppose) the caravan smelled of bleach and windows were not left opened prior to our arrival so the smell stayed strong for our entire stay. Apart from that it was a nice and clean caravan and in a good location. Pool wasn’t opened but pub and amusement bit on the side was. It was a nice stay.
