- All accommodation has free WiFi
- All accommodation is double glazed and centrally heated
- The complex has a free indoor heated swimming pool and sauna (open daily from 7am to 9pm)
- The complex has a free fully equipped gym

Because the park is open all year we are not getting whats left as far as food and drink is concerned

WASH Waffle: April 2017
From Paul Catterwell of Kings Lynn Plus:
Hello fellow Plussers
Although we are not in a position to confirm the date we are confident WASH 2017 will be on 3rd to 6th November. DO NOT CANCEL HOLIDAY DATES BOOKED, AND IF YOU HAVE NOT BOOKED THE WEEKEND OFF PLEASE DO SO ASAP!
We appreciate that things are running behind the usual schedule, but this was due to circumstances beyond our control, and we have been working hard behind the scenes, I promise!
Hope you all have a great Easter holiday and will let you know as soon as we know.
