Definitely going again

Very peaceful and relaxing. The pods are clean,warm and cosy. The bed is comfy and large. You can park next to the pod. The shower and toilet blocks are modern, clean and heated. There is a washing up block and also a laundrette. There is a fridge, freezer and microwave in there as well. All clean and modern. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The site is safe as there are barriers at the entrance and no one can access the site between 11:30pm - 7:30 am.

Bannatyne Spa Day with Three Treatments and Lunch for Two
Liz · 15-10-2025

Excellent day out. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic day at Shawsgate Vineyard. The tour was extremely informative and the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The lunch consisted of cheese, ham, salad and bread with a delicious cheesecake for dessert. There was no choice, but the food was good. The wine tasting involved quite a lot of wine, and we were able to choose a glass of our favourite for lunch - something to consider if you are driving! I would highly recommend this!

Blondie · 11-10-2025

Amazing experience

From booking to jumping out the plane was all so effortless I did a sponsored Tandem Skydive on 11th October for a local network Signed in that was easy and the lady was super friendly and informative I was then taken to the briefing area where I met Dan my instructor/Tandem partner Lovely friendly guy with loads of knowledge and many years experience The briefing was easy to understand and the rigorous strapping of the harnesses was a comforting feeling The flight was about 15 mins then it was time to spring into action It was both exhilarating ,nerve-racking ,mind blowing but a great experience and the views as I was lucky enough to have a sunny day Can definitely recommend it Do it if its something you really want to do I never felt scared anxious or worried as the team saw to that you were comfy with everything Would I do it again maybe maybe not but you have to give it a go Family loved watching and we're so proud and Langar have some new customers so all good Enjoy
