Ivy Hills Holidays from £1,129

We look forward to going to the resort every year. We normally stay with my sister and brother in law in their RV.

Our room was great, very clean and spacious. Staff was very friendly and we enjoyed the main bar and the downstairs bar. Would definitely stay here again.

Staff was very polite
