10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Stayed here with my 10yo son for one night only and he absolutely loved it The animal park provides a great safari to see a fantastic collection of animals in the wild but it's even better when the park closes and you have the chance to see the them in the relative peace and quiet after 6.30pm We had dinner at the pizzeria which was excellent but an added bonus was being next to the big cats and seeing/hearing the lions roar as the sun came down The hotel itself is very grand and the room was fantastic It is great value for money and I would recommend this to anyone
