Sandylands Holiday Park

Liked The Weather

Disliked Motorhome pitch was tiny, barely took the van. Other vans draining their dirty water tanks on their pitch, running onto the road. Entertainment for kids was absolutely diabolical, the kids could have done a better job and put more effort in themselves. There was no real interaction from the entertainment staff. The show bar was filthy. Not cleaned from one night to the next. Fish and chip shop avoid like the plague, disgusting and cost a fortune. A fish and chips was £16.08.
All in all, a total waste of money and definately wouldnt return even as a last resort.

From the manager: Hi there,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. While we're pleased the weather was on your side during your stay, we're very sorry to hear that several aspects of your visit did not meet your expectations.

We're disappointed to learn that you found your motorhome pitch too small and experienced issues with other guests disposing of waste water incorrectly.

We're also sorry that our children's entertainment, the cleanliness of the show bar, and your experience in the fish and chip shop fell below the standards we aim to provide. We appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us identify areas where improvements are needed. Your comments have been shared with the relevant teams for review.

We're sorry that your holiday left you feeling disappointed and appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention. We wish you all the best for your future holidays. ^SR

Liked presque rien

Disliked En fait c'est plus un parking de Mobil home qu'un camping. Très peu de place pour les gens de passage . les sanitaires étaient sales et on sent bien c'est le service minimum . l'employé de la petite boutique n'est pas agréable, était plus intéressé par son ordi que par les clients.
Ne pas se fier aux belles photos, la plage, je ne l'ai pas vue, elle existe mais il faut sans doute traverser la ligne de chemin de fer qui longe le camping sur toute sa longueur.
Nous étions à moins de 5 mètres des rails.
Deux trains tous les 3/4 d'heure...un dans un sens et un autre dans l'autre...
Vive le camping.....
A fuir

From the manager: Hi Melvin,

We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your review on your recent stay. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us as we continuously strive to improve and enhance the guest experience. Thank you. ^JC

Liked The arcade and shop were good for my kids to enjoy. The showers and toilets were clean.
We didn’t use any other facilities.

Disliked The smell of drugs, couples arguing loudly at night, people smoking and vaping at every door were not enjoyable.
We booked for 2 nights and when we came back for our second night after being out for the day someone else was in our pitch (with tent set up). We ended up in another pitch and our neighbours said this happens all the time. People don’t actually use the pitches they are given. The staff were great at helping to sort it out for us.
We booked an electric hook up pitch but there was no electric hook up available to us. I spoke to customer services the next day and they offered to lend us an extra long cable to reach another pitch.
Overall the customer service was good, but I won’t be back because the site just wasn’t for us.

From the manager: Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback following your stay with us.

We’re pleased to hear you found our team helpful and that your children enjoyed the arcade and shop facilities, as well as the cleanliness of the shower and toilet areas.

However, we’re very sorry that several aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. The issues you experienced regarding noise and guest behaviour are disappointing to hear, and we completely understand how this affected your overall experience.

We also sincerely apologise for the confusion surrounding your allocated pitch and the electric hook-up issue. This is clearly not the standard we aim to provide, and your comments regarding pitch management and accessibility of the electric supply have been shared with the relevant teams for review.

While we appreciate your kind comments about our customer service team, we’re sorry to hear the site was ultimately not the right fit for your family. Thank you again for your honest feedback, which helps us identify areas where improvements are needed. ^EC

Liked Near Saltcoats town a lovely little placce

Disliked Touring pitch flooded for whole week. Large boulder directly across from pitch that made hitching up difficult.
Toilet block while clean I never managed to get a hot shower all week after complaining I was told there was hot water! Not when I went in.
Entertaining program poor only a turn on a couple of nights even though it was Easter Holidays.
Bar and chip shop eye watering expensive.
Would I go back No
