Guests say

Willow 1 at Poole offers a peaceful, wildlife-rich setting with clean, well-equipped lodges. Guests appreciate the quiet woodland location and the comfortable, spacious accommodations. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness lapses are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests willing to return.

Most guests found the lodges clean, with some exceptions noting dog hair, sand, and dust. A few mentioned the need for a better cleaning job, but these seem to be isolated incidents rather than the norm.

The location is praised for its peace and quiet, with a beautiful woodland setting. However, one review mentioned a lack of view from the lodge due to a hedge, slightly impacting the score.

Guests generally found the lodges comfortable and spacious, though some mentioned uncomfortable beds, mattresses, and seating, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

Facilities are deemed good for self-catering, with everything needed for a stay. However, comments about maintenance issues like descaling shower heads, bleeding radiators, and dated furniture indicate some attention is required.

There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

    A very nice holiday park and accommodation great wildlife lots of different types of birds owls squirrels. Just two points the shower heads needed descaling some of the holes were blocked. The bed was uncomfortable would benefit from a better quality bed and mattress. Saying that I would still recommend this accommodation and park and I would definitely stay here again again the good outweigh the bad.
