very close to the beach, just over the road, its better less stony if you walk about 10 mins to the right, about 5 min walk to reception, lodge is located in a quiet park of the park, I always take a tv as my son is socially anxious, and didnt leave the lodge at all, until we left, I felt it would of been useful to have a tv in the double room, as my son took over the only tv, with his xbox, and i got sent to my room, to watch tv, it was nice having the decking outside, could do with outdoor table, as it was nice I had my lunch outside, well equipped lodge, park looked nice and clean, I didn't sleep very well, i think that was down to the mattress topper that was smaller than the bed, we didn't use the entertainment so i cant comment on that, the onsite chip shop was a nightmare, it was half term, they were short staffed, opened an hour later than advertised, and then an hours wait, first night, I gave up after an hour, tried 2nd night, and waited an hour again, but got food that time, only 2 sausage and 2 chips! but isn't owned by Parkdean its independent
