Had a good walk around this very large and interesting site. The room was fine for an overnight stay and very good value for money. There was no catering onsite, so I drove out to get an evening mesl. I was expecting this and it wasn't a problem.

Cracking waterside accommodation
Amazing value, nice guys working there, happy to keep topping up your room goodies and even a free gym! It's functional and not a spa hotel, but seriously, at the prices they charge it's insane :)

Basic accommodation but good value for the price I wouldn’t recommend sharing a room unless you’re swapping spit as it’s very snug let’s say but good value if travelling alone

Non-potable tap water and unstable hot water :(
It was shocking to discover, in the UK, that the tap water here is not considered drinkable (and to notice the signage only after drinking a cup of tap water...). The staff need to make this known upon check-in. A photo of a full-page info sheet, with a note about the water buried at the bottom, is not sufficient. To make matters worse, they ran out of complimentary bottled water on my last day. Finally, the ratio of hot and cold water pressure in the shower fluctuated greatly, causing the temperature to go between lukewarm to almost scalding multiple times a 5 minute shower session. It was unsafe: a large person who can't move out of the way within the small shower stall might burn their skin if they aren't careful.
