We had been to LV before so knew what we were coming into and the train prep in the mornings were thoroughly entertaining for the kids, usually from 8am which didn't disturb sleep at all and can be seen from each window. The flat is well equipped, spacious and clean. The double bed was slightly uncomfortable as it was a single sided mattress flipped the wrong way but we solved. We are both 6ft+ so it was a squeeze for us, but absolutely fine for others! We'd have no hesitation rebooking this accommodation on our next stay!

The flat is lovely and spacious and has all the facilities needed for the duration of your stay. The staff at Lappa Valley are friendly and we enjoyed our daily journey into the park. I also asked our 4yr old daughter what she thought of our holiday home and she said 'good'. She was sad to leave. Am sure we will be back in the future!

Over and above our expectations - we were certainly impressed. It was warm, clean, comfortable, well thought out and well equipped. Plenty of space to walk the dog and an allocated car parking space. The railway staff were all very cheerful and helpful too. The added attraction of the trains was a bonus and the cream tea at the end of the ride was good.
