"Car park was a struggle to get in and out of with not much backing room and turn space. Friendly staff just wished I hadn’t had to wait a while to get a fresh set of towels, seen a family waiting for a staff member was there for a long period of time. When arriving not properly greeted or instructed on how cleaning and everything works (or even telling us tourist about what’s around here and what activities are on etc)"
