10/10 Exceptional! (26 reviews)
What an amazing property. Our family reunion of 16 loved this place. We had seven kids under the age of eight and each had the time of their life. The pool/slide/spa was a hit and the proximity to Legoland and the beach was nice. We would happily return in the future.
