Adventurer's Village Milton Keynes

The Dino Den Stegosaurus cabin was cozy, but it felt suited to two children under 8, with perhaps two parents at most. The bunk bed is a bit small for a teenager. There was black mold spread across the wall beneath the sink in one of the dishwashing rooms. Inside the cabin, there were cobwebs and dust, yellowish duvets covered in lint, and old water still in the kettle. Cutlery, bowls, and plates weren't provided, so bring your own if you're planning a stay.

We had a good time and would consider visiting Adventures village again next year if a similar deal came up. We'd been wary after reading reviews, but booked a last-minute night in Jungle Safari Lodge, python number 10, and were pleasantly surprised. It looked good and suited us for one night. The double bed could use a new mattress, though the bunk beds were sturdy. There were a few kitchen utensils, but we weren't cooking. If you plan to eat in, keep meals simple and bring anything you want to be sure you have. On-site entertainment started at 4.30pm and seemed good, though we didn't do much because we were eating and had other plans. We'd booked a restaurant table late, then cancelled because we couldn't get in until late, our fault for leaving the booking. A Harvester one mile away worked out well. Breakfast was included, with a simple menu. We chose a bacon butty. The bacon was excellent quality and, although the roll was pre-cut and had no butter, that was fine by us. We left full and were grateful for the deal.

The staff we spoke to were polite, but the place looked neglected when we walked around, which was a shame. Our so-called luxury cabin was run down and didn't seem maintained. We ate at the reception cafe. The food was poor: both pizzas had hardly any topping and were burnt, while the chips were undercooked. The place could be much better if the staff put more care and effort in.

For the price, it was excellent value. I really enjoyed my one-night stay. The cabin was quirky in a lovely way and very well equipped. Thank you.
