Creator's Key Takeaways

Tom and Helen have been very, very happy in here and said they would book this cabin again.

The suites do have a fridge which is a bonus cuz we really missed our fridge, haven't we, Pauline?

They've also got a a washing line there and the products um that Costa provide here which is slightly different to ours, isn't it?

But, we'll show you cuz you can squeeze through here. But, I can't. So, But, Paul yes, so Paul's going to meet me the other side.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have children and are worried about them getting out on the balcony, make sure you wind the patio door lock.
Check out the suite restaurant access if you book a suite, as it's a private perk for suite guests.
