Good location but...
Pros:

Location great. Bathroom modern.

Cons:

We were in apartment 19 for two nights and we discovered that apartments 18, 19 and 20 back onto a caravan park toilet and laundry so could be noisy at times.

Close to all the parks
Pros:

Spacious room albeit a little dated. Close to the town centre with free onsite parking.

Cons:

Not sure if it was just our room but the shower head was like a mist only and didn’t spray properly. So probably needs to be updated.
