Very inflexible

Liked: Location of site

Disliked: Lack of facilities:
- Showers were absolutely useless, you either get a mist or a trickle of water
- Taps in the toilet block are press-type but they barely stay on for 10seconds
- Disabled toilet had no facility to dry your hands
- Disabled toilet is not suitable for someone in a wheelchair

Lack of customer focus:
- although we paid for both a camper van and a tent, we were not allowed to stay together as a family either in the tents field or in the pitch field.
- Our small dog had to be on a lead at all times near our camper van, and yet a neighbour's dog was able to walk around the site. The only thing that could have caused an accident was the staff driving at 25mph in a 10mph speed restricted zone.
- Shop opening hours displayed not followed
- Opening times for pool and other facilities absolutely useless to guests (close at 16:45)

Very busy traffic caused by maintenance vehicles speeding up and down

Liked: the pitches were a good size plenty of room we were in our motorhome with a small fre standing awning and there was still enough space for a car, a bigger awning and still the kids would of had enough grass to play on.
the pitches were well layed out we had a sevice pitch so no walking to get water.
the whole park was clean and tidy can't fault anything on that side
the play park was great mykids couldnt stop talking about the pirate ship and what they had on it - like a jail , a rat run , 2 slides and lots of place to climb
they also loved the zip line on the ghost ship and the crazy golf
the cafe was great on price and the meals were great and they had a good choice of meals
the bar was graet and the prices were good as well
the childrens entertainers were really good they had the children and adults alike laughing all the time
my children also loved the family bingo tey liked the funny bits inbetween
all the staff that we met during our stay from the reception to the bar were friendly, polite, were dressed well and were helpful
as i am disabled i automatically look out for things and they catered rather well for the disabled
we will definately go again

Disliked: i didnt dislike anything
but a couple of things caught my attention
the ramp to the bar and cafe was rather steep i went in through the amusments as the step there tapered off so i was able to get to the bar and cafe that way
and if they could extend the stage that would be good as well
and if they could have more range of items in their shop

Liked: Stunning view. The entertainment for such a small park was great and perfect for all the family. Kids play area so clean and interesting. Swimming pool good and lovely to have sauna for 10 minutes peace Shop well stocked staff very friendly and helpful. Will be going back again for sure! Others have mentioned the grass but if its long it's not so messy if its cut short the cut bits end up everywhere so on balance long is better!

Disliked: The shower block was looking a bit tired on the inside (peeling paint on the shower walls) although it was always kept clean. It would have been helpful to make clear the day before any times when the pool would be closed and/or special event on so that we could plan and book in advance but this a very minor point.

Liked: The location and the amazing views. Excellent facillities , though the toilets / showers could do with being updated.
We ate in the very resonably priced restaurant at least once a day. Standard of food was excellent. My children loved the play area and the indoor pool.
Plenty of very friendly staff on the grounds and in the restaurant and bar.

Disliked: waiting to go in the pool . Perhaps a notice on the door to the pool to explain maximum number of swimmers allowed in the pool at one time would be beneficial , as my children and myself had to wait in our swimming costumes for other swimmers to get out. Lockers that worked in there too . Not a big deal though, as we had a brilliant week camping there !

Good but have Experienced Better

Liked: Good geneerally clean site with good facilities.
Swimming pool temperature a bit cold but not crowded.
Great location for the area.

Disliked: The campsite views were limited seaview. Controlling the hedge at the bottom of the field would have made a huge difference. Field was slightly sloping but not too bad.
A bit exposed to the wind which certainly makes it a challenge.
Needed a lick of paint here and there and general maintenance which would have made it better. Shower facilities were poorly maintained.
Clubhouse and bar facilities should have segregated areas so that if you do not want to be involved in the entertainment you do not have to hear it.

Bad storm ruined our tent but staff brilliant and helped us find a solution. The children loved the entertainment. Food in the clubhouse reasonably priced.

nice but needs improving for campers.

Liked: Lovely park for the kids. Friendly staff. Club house was lovely with nice food. Nice if you were staying in the mobiles homes.

Disliked: We camped ,if the grass had been cut short it would have been much better as as soon as you went out your trousers were soaked, you dragged previously cut, rotting, smelling grass (which attracted the flys) into your tent. The steps leading down the the loo,s were only swept once in the 5 days we were there so all the grass and mud on them made it very slippery . The toilets were dirty and in need of up dating with NO hair driers or sockets for you own. Washing up sinks are right outside the mens loo's. Could do with another toilet block the other end of the field.

good family holiday

tracy g. (Family with young children, 1 review, 0 photos)   Confirmed ?

  • Stayed Jul 2012 Review submitted
  • Stayed in: Touring pitches
  • Would recommend to friends

Liked: we had a lovely pitch with wonderful views over the sea. my children enjoyed the pirate ship play area and the swimming pool. there was a nice family club house serving good meals and providing entertainment. Although the park is fairly big and obviously busy it was never noisy or over crowded.would definately return again.

Disliked: My only critism was that the shower block is looking a little tired however, they were clean and there was always plenty of hot water, soap and toilet tissue so nothing really to worry about. the only other thing i would mention it that due to the position of the park it can get very windy if the weather bad but again the view is worth putting up with the wind. we had a lovely family holiday and came back very relaxed.
