    “We had a fantastic week at Elton’s Escape.”

    The caravan is well equipped and clean and a real home from home. It’s in a super location on site not far from the marina and entertainment complex, but far enough away that it is peaceful. Listen out for the owls in the evening. It’s worth taking a torch with you if like us you need to walk a dog at night as the site is quite dark - great for stargazing! Useful outdoor tap for washing off the dog after walking muddy hills. Glad we took plenty of towels and blankets as the caravan was ...

    The caravan is well equipped and clean and a real home from home. It’s in a super location on site not far from the marina and entertainment complex, but far enough away that it is peaceful. Listen out for the owls in the evening. It’s worth taking a torch with you if like us you need to walk a dog at night as the site is quite dark - great for stargazing! Useful outdoor tap for washing off the dog after walking muddy hills. Glad we took plenty of towels and blankets as the caravan was beautiful and we would have hated to take muddy paw prints in with us. Shop on site is well stocked with essentials, food in the restaurant is good and it was dog friendly which helped us. We didn’t use the pool but it looked ok. Overall, a really lovely site and a great caravan. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay here again.
