Nice park, great family environment and good sized space and location. Our main reason for lower scoring is we stayed in deluxe cottage for four nights and despite it being advertised that the deluxe cottage accommodation offers daily servicing, which is also confirmed in the welcome package in the cottage itself and a 'please service' switch at the front of the cottage, they only serviced our room one day of three, and we had to ask back and forth multiple times for even that to occur.
