The location and convenient shared facilities

Not providing linen and towels in the barrels

We liked the Barrel accommodations. We experienced much rain while visiting and found the tight quarters comfortable. The bathrooms were adequate, but we felt there could be more bathroom facilities for the number of barrels, cabins, RVs, tents, etc. The restaurant was what we expected, sub-par for adults, perfect for children. Walking distance to Legoland. The bus shuttle between Legoland, the airport, and the town was good. It could run more frequently during the summer months. We would stay here again.

The food.

Location & Barrel stay was very good. Breakfast was really good.

Booking.com says, Wilderness Barrel - Featuring a private entrance, this bungalow also consists of 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and a seating area. The bungalow features a terrace with outdoor furniture and garden views for your convenience. The unit offers 3 beds. However, the reality was common bathroom and kitchen. Even Kitchen doesn't have kettle to heat water. Also, as per the photos in booking.com it says separate bathroom and kitchen. However, the reality was different. It is better to display the right photos and right details about property.

We really liked the cozyness and everything was close by

The room itself was dusty

The big bed on the top of the cabin. The four of us ended up sleeping all together in it.

We were quite far from the toilets, it was not convenient with children who sometimes need to be changed at night.

Intersecting experience,

It was too expensive. But truly wild camp experience

Playground Proximity to legoland Supermarket and restaurant on site Bicycle rental too

the space itself is nice , some good kids activities- play ground etc but it’s not the best either , most of it is basic and you have to pay extra for everything apart from the playground

the barrel wasn’t really clean when we got there , so many spider webs , dust inside generally felt like it hasn’t been cleaned or lived in for months. there was so many ants inside the cabin on the beds , pillows underneath the mattress- basically we lived and slept with ants, when I asked at the reception is there anything they can do with this amount of ants I was told “ it’s just a cabin and not Hilton !” it was supposed to be a joke from one of the staff but I found it super rude to be told that and obviously nothing had been done about the ants either- we are not sensitive people either - we go camping and are used to bugs but you could literally see the sheets moving it was so many of them so with two small kids it wasn’t ideal and staff did nothing apart from laughing at us ! the facilities are really poor as well - there was a kitchen but absolutely nothing in there for people to use - so if you wanted to do self catering it wasn’t possible unless you brought the whole kitchen equipment with you ! on the Legoland website it stays opposite so it’s a massive lie - which was super annoying as well as we brought food but couldn’t use the kitchen to make it ! obviously when asked about it at the reception was told whatever is in the kitchen there is and they can’t do anything about it. breakfast was very busy and not a lot of choice for so many people it was barely any food there everything is also very expensive and overpriced so All over the stay was very disappointing for over £150 a night you would expect a bit more from everything ! bathrooms were really far away and one of the blocks was closed all together so it got very crowded in the morning to use them or to take a shower.

The park itself is beautiful and very clean. Staff were really friendly and helpful ,10 outta 10. The surroundings were immaculate. There are a number of beautiful gardens, flowers and trees all around the park and a few little nooks n crannys to explore. The playground and tramploines were pleasantly located across from our accommodation.We stayed in a Wilderness Barrell and it was cute cosy and warm and the children loved it. Has a little mini fridge which came in very handy. Lots of free outdoor activities to keep children entertained in the evening. The go carts had to be paid for which wasnt bad as they were not very expensive and worth it as there is so much space to use them.. May is a great time to go as it was not atall busy. It was lovely to wake up to the noise of a little happy goat the few mornings we were there looking for a back massage 😁 Goat babies should be due any day soon 🐐. Location is perfect to get to and from the airport. Bathroom facilities were spotless. Water taps located in so many places. Buffet breakfast was grand and had plenty of choice.

Bedding and towels have to be rented. I had been notified on an email about this so i decided to bring my own towels. Unfortunatley we didnt have an option to just rent the bedding without also paying for the towels.

Loved the layout there was everything for a family stay.

That the toilets were a bit away from barrels at night.

Location was great and the cabin was warm, clean and comfortable.

Breakfast could have been a lot better. Very poor availability.

Location and price

No private toilet and poor description to find out that bathroom is shared with other people.

Clean bright and fantastic location

relaxed and comfortable

Breakfast was great, staying so close to Legoland was excellent. Bathrooms were roomy and clean and cooking facilities were clean and well equipped. I have to say that despite the low points, I would still go back there - knowing now more, that it is more about camping than comfy stay.

I actually missed the part about shared bathrooms. They were ca 100 meters from the cottage, not very far but it was very dark in the night, almost no street light. Also I thought I booked the barrel, not a cottage. You need to rent towels and linen, and we didn't know - we had to go back to the reception to get them. You need to wash your dishes after your stay so one of the way to do it is in the shared cooking room, as the cottage has only cold water, no towels and no wash-up liquid. Mattresses were very good, the beds were quite small and low, and a bit squeaky.

Breakfast was amazing!

Lovely place

Towels and linen charged extra

Liked location

Top bunk too close to bottom bunk. Would like more vegetables at the restaurant

The village was really beautiful, the houses and the lego figures

the shower and toilets where too far away and rhere where queues in the mornings and evenings

We were very delighted by the quality of personal. They were very nice and helpful, always around both at check in and at the cafeteria. The proximity to Legoland is the big advantage. The cabin was clean and it had private space to spend time outdoors as well. If you are looking for the camping experience, there is not much to be expected beyond this.

There was a single hairdryer in the sanitary house and it was not working. There is no pharmacy in the proximity so better stock up. The food at the cafeteria is as advertised: for kids (very milky omlette). The shower was slightly mudy.
