Patricia - Sep 2019
"The site was very good. The accommodation was very good and well equipped however some of the walls were scuffed. The area where the hot tub was could be utilised better with decking. The restaurant and bar are nowhere near big enough and the food was good however I did have to send my meal back on one occasion."

"Had a lovely break and would definitely stay again."
Tara - Jun 2019
"The cottage was lovely but there were things that were not provided that would have made it better. No oven gloves, no kitchen scissors, only five of each plate, bowl etc which isn't helpful when cooking for 5 people as you need extras. There were cobwebs all over the outside of the building/garden some of which we had to move they could have easily have been moved with the hose that they use to fill the hot tub prior to our arrival. Still loved the place and have booked for next year."
Theresa - Jun 2019
"great conveniently placed ,"
Jane - Jun 2019
"We had a lovely stay at Rookley, we were made to feel very welcome & didn't want to leave. The welcome pack for our dog was so lovely too. Thank you."
Claire - Aug 2022
"We had a lovely holiday and would definitely visit again, highly recommend"
Carol - Jul 2022
"Although caravan is old & dated and bedrooms are rather small overall the van was perfect for what we needed and we had a nice stay. I would have like the option for Adults only later night swimming but all family we met where very nice. Only issues we found was if we went put all day we struggled to park by our van. I think Van numbers and parking bays would be a good idea. We where in van 141."
Geoffrey - Jul 2022
"Our Lakehouse was in a perfect location and contained everything you needed. Maintenance team were extremely helpful on Sunday we stopped 2 gentlemen in their cart to ask about our folding doors sticking, they followed us home and fixed the problem instantly. Fantastic service. The only downside we tried to use the on-site restaurant twice once for breakfast and once evening meal both times it was not open young lady behind bar was very vague about if or when it would actually be open so we didn’t bother again."
Nicola - Jul 2022
"Great little place, a little shop on site would of made it better"
