Newlands Holiday Park: Pool (photo added by manager on 11/01/2023)

General

  • Family-friendly park just outside Charmouth on the Jurassic Coast
  • Pools, play areas and indoor play
  • Modern amenities including hot showers and a launderette

There’s nothing fossilised about a stay at Newlands Holiday Park, a stone’s throw away from the Jurassic Coast on the Devon/Dorset border, where the staff and facilities should cater to your every holiday need.

For example, this lush place has two separate play areas for the mini guests. There's also an indoor heated pool – and an outdoor one with loungers so you can bask in the sun and wonder where the kids get all that energy…

More? There's an indoor soft play area. Also use family-run Newlands as a base for a Lyme Regis fossil-hunting holiday or just lounge about on site; either way, epic times are on the cards.

The 23-acre landscaped park has all the facilities you’d expect from a thoroughly modern site: internet access and clean up-to-date amenities including hot showers and a launderette. Half a mile from Newlands, the World Heritage village of Charmouth has shops, restaurants and pubs… and is also known for its hardy souls taking to the sea in fancy dress on Christmas Day.

    Not a ‘dislike’ but be aware … the site is close to a major road so you do get some late night noise.
    Indoor pool changing rooms were a bit grubby by mid afternoon - probably due to muddy conditions outside

Hi Julie,
Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us but am sorry that the swimming pool wasn't kept up to our usual high standards.

    -Warm welcome (lovely greeting from reception on arrival with all info needed for stay)
    -Helpful staff (in particular the bar staff helping us to find alternative places for lunch as the kitchen was shut)
    -Half term entertainment (lovely lady doing crafts with the kids)
    -Lovely facilities (cold and warm water swimming with sauna and hot tub!)
    -Great location with a short walk to Charmouth.
    This was our third time to Newlands in a year or so, think that speaks for itself!

    Disliked: 

    The only thing was that we did request to be near the play park on our booking. I asked after check in why we hadn’t been placed on that side after our request and it was because the pitches that side were grass and too waterlogged.
    The only small quibble is I would have liked that request to be acknowledged on check in rather than having to ask.. but it is a small quibble and a reflection of how much we like the site ;)

From the manager...

Hi Vicki,
Many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are pleased that you made the most of our facilities and local area. I would just like to point out that you booked a hardstanding pitch which is away from the play park. We put you on the end of the row, quite low down (as close to the park as possible on a hardstanding pitch). The grass pitches by the park are severely waterlogged due to the rain hence why we aren't using them but this isn't what you booked anyway. We look forward to welcoming you back next year!
Best wishes,
Newlands Holidays

From the manager...

Hi Debs,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We are pleased that you enjoyed our local area; we are very lucky to work and live in such a beautiful place. We hope that you made the most out of our facilities. I'm sorry that you were disappointed with the flatness of the pitch and the road noise. We do not hide the fact that we are situated on a hill nor that we are beside a main road. We always try our best to make the pitches as flat as possible, I'm sorry that we didn't get it right with yours.
Best wishes,
Newlands Holidays

    Loved the carvery and the facilities available. Had our tent on a grass touring pitch loads of space for us. Close to Charmouth beach and not far from Poole so we managed to get a boat trip in. There’s a wildlife park 10 mins away as well which is worth the visit. Will definitely be booking for next year.

    Facilities were clean, on site bar was nice too. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Even better is it has the bus stop right outside so we didn’t have to pack up our VW when we wanted to go out. Close to Charmouth beach which our dog loved! Also close to Lyme Regis which was also loved. We were sad to leave. Will definitely be booking to come back.

Local attractions

Charmouth is the gateway to the Jurassic Coast and has some of the best fossils to be found in Dorset: the Charmouth Heritage Coast Centre has fossil collections and guided fossil walks and is where you can proudly bring in your very own fossil find to be identified.

The beach is a 15-minute walk from Newlands: stroll from here to Lyme Regis keeping your head down for more fossily finds, then wander around Lyme to take a look at Cobb Harbour (made famous in Jane Austen’s Persuasion); buy freshly ground flour at the 14th-century watermill; amble along to at the ammonites, exhibitions and events at the museum, or tee off on the cliff at Lyme Regis Golf Club.

Mini fossil-hunters will likely be monster fans of the award-winning Dinosaur Museum at Dorchester, and taking a detour while in town to the Teddy Bear Museum. If they’re watery types, they’ll have a whale of a time at the Splashdown Water Park in Poole and the walk-through underwater tunnel at the Bournemouth Oceanarium.

Closer to Newlands and Dino Dan, families can see zebras and meerkats at the Axe Valley Wildlife Park, trundle along on the Seaton Tramway for a scenic trip through the estuary of the River Axe, or feed a shoal of fish at Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium.
