Delighted with the accomodation, lake boat rental, restaurant and staff/entertainment. For improvement we suggest that the pool is very small and would benefit from being bigger.

Good pool nice area ciela are spoiling it by taking pitches and putting statics on but that’s where the money is I guess. Our pitch 49 had a heap of garden rubbish on it all the stay also whilst we were there our campervan was the largest on site yet given the most awkward and smallest pitch available bizarre and very disappointing for the money you charge I did mention the rubbish but nothing was done about it. Also our electric cut out but to be fair that problem was sorted quickly. We love meze and area but don’t think we will stay again we felt we were ripped off a little bit. All in all 4/10 score from us.

Very chill. Lovely campsite. Improve bar area service and food options, More hours for takeaway and service with a smile as I though the bar staff came across unmotivated and moody

I booked for a twin axle without motor mover and was told we couldn’t choose a pitch. The pitch we were allocated was so hard to access it took 4 hours to manoeuvre the caravan in as our hybrid car couldn’t reverse it without overheating as the entrance was so steep and round a bend with huge rocks either side. On walking round the site we found many pitches which were on flat ground with no rocks and trees. The allocation of pitches was not very considerate for us. Also we noticed most people had paddle boards on their pitch but when accessing the lake area everyone converges to play ball in the small area near base nautique and they pull the sun loungers near the waters edge. Sometimes you would come back from a hard days paddling only to find nowhere to get off the water. A reserved area to go in and out the water in paddle boards would be very much appreciated. The shower rooms we also could not use as they were aged and yellowed and both times I tried the showers smelt of urine and as the bad if the showers are yellowing it was very off putting so we had to use our caravan shower only. Toilets also had no seats so my daughters wouldn’t use them.
