We arrived for our 4nght break with our 2kids they where extremely excited only to be dissappointed. The entertainment was so poor we where very dissappointed + there was nothing at all for the kids to do on the site. In all it was a rather dissapointing holiday for all of us

Advice:

Scarborough, Whitby + York are beautiful places we would definately visit there again

Activities:

Save your money a go somewhere else!!!
