Fairly basic room (made from a shipping container) but really quite functional, clean and comfortable. The bar/reception and kids entertainment area was smaller than I expected (compared to Gulliver's Valley in Rotherham), but it was pleasant and sociable, the staff were really friendly, and the kids enjoyed the entertainment. And the theme park is great, plenty to do, lovely surroundings. Food a bit basic but decent options in the main hotel restaurant. Even more basic with fewer options in the theme park (and nothing healthy).

We stayed in willows .The room was compact but was perfect for an overnight stay. Everything was clean and new, the grandkids loved every minute. We went to Derwent gardens for the illuminations and couldn’t have picked a better place to stay.

The room I originally got given was not cleaned. The gentlemen didn’t know what to say , I was moved to another cabin , however the lamp was ready to be binned. It was very cold inside. Very small and not enough lamps for the desk underneath. I appreciate it was kids and family. But what do you have to accommodate business? The pics below are what I turned up to. I wasn’t happy , I checked out but I couldn’t explain my problems as it was very busy on Saturday morning. I would like to be compensated as it was a disaster.

Rooms are housed in converted shipping containers- but were well equipped, clean and comfortable. Bunk beds were a big hit with our children (6&9), being right next to the park was a huge bonus for us. Though not really our “thing” the entertainment for the children in the evening was actually really good fun, followed by toasting marshmallows round a fire pit. Then a visit from “Gully” the park mascot in the morning also brought some smiles. Staff were all friendly and helpful- with a big dose of common sense. At breakfast one small child was quite upset by the arrival of a 6ft tall mouse, Gully’s helper very sensibly moved Gully out of the room to the hallway, and came back to see the child in question to make sure they were ok. Top marks. On the negative, the sink in the en-suite is on top of the toilet cistern to save space, but tricky to brush you teeth for smaller people, and although the dinner we had was good, served quickly and reasonably priced, it would be greatly to have a bit more variety out side of burgers/veg burgers, nuggets and fries. Overall recommend.

Gulliver's resort is a theme park. It was closed for the winter, but the accommodation is good. We had a room that could be used for self catering and would be big enough for a family.

The Park is always good fun, quite traditional and great for younger kids. The accommodation was great, very clean and very comfortable.The big win was the kids evening entertainer. If the hotel is reading this, then you need to keep him. He is all my kids have talked about. He was on duty on Wed PM 26 Oct. we all agreed, the best entertainment we have ever seen and the kids and parents there had a whale of a time. The only bit to improve was the food standards, it was pretty average but then we weren't paying high end rates so it was fair enough. We will definitelybe ging to stay again.

The park was closed but the cabins were available which meant a quiet night. I suspect it may not be so nice when the park is busy with children. Easy walk to pubs and shops (a bit steep on the way back!). Very small cabin with double bed and bunks. Just enough room for two people but not too bad at the price or if you have been to Japan. Having a small wash basin behind the toilet makes cleaning teeth interesting but shower was fine for a small person. Good value for one night, friendly staff.
