Liked Camping pod. Cleanliness. Staff
Disliked That you cannot walk safely from the campsite. There was no pavement & busy road outside. No mention of this on website. I'd probably have booked somewhere else if I'd known.
Really enjoyed my time here. Well done Park Holidays.

Camping pod
Liked Value for money, very friendly staff and a modern clean reception, games area and bar. We were allowed to enter the pod 4 hours early. Entire site was very clean. The showers and toilet block was one of the cleanest we've ever used. Close several beaches and a large shopping complex.
Disliked Pod was located near the swimming pool, throughout the day you can here the extraction system which was loud.
The paths around the pods were made of a type 1 stone, didn't look the nicest or feel the best under foot.
Lots to keep the kids happy, could be cleaner though!
Camping pod
Liked Grounds are clean, presentable and quiet with lots of room.
Pool is warm, clean and fun.
Pods are cosy, well equipped and perfect temperature.
Staff were very friendly.
Key fob for the gate was a good idea and worked well.
Lots to keep kids entertained.
Disliked Could have been cleaner in the pods and showers/toilets/washing block. Dried mud on the floor, needed a good mopping in the pod.
Showers were tiny, covered in mould and cobwebs, and had to be reset every 5 seconds.
Having one key for the block is very annoying with a mixed sex family, as one had to let the other in, and ask for it if swapping toothpaste etc.
No recycling bins.
Machine keeping the swimming pool filtered etc. is very loud and noticeable in the pods- bring ear plugs.
Excellent

Camping pod
Liked Stayed in a pod for 3 nights and found it to be clean and tidy as was the area outside. Shower block and toilets were cleaned twice a day and found them to be as expected and was ok to use, always had hand soap, hot water and toilet paper. The general cleanliness also depends on the guests using them! Staff around the park were very helpful, would definitely stay again.

Camping pod
Liked Camping pods were really clean, and well equipped and much more spacious than anticipated. You get 4 plug sockets, a heater, table and chairs, a drying rack for clothes and some small storage. Pods were situated round a communal BBQ area and were a short walk to the shower and bar area, but not near enough that it was noisy at night. It felt like its own little area away from the main caravan park, which was nice.
Bar had good kids entertainment, great park and play area for small children and was full of families so a very kid friendly atmosphere. Swimming pool was fun for small children.
The welcoming team were so friendly and helpful, and I appreciated them calling before we arrived and they checked up on us too. We were able to get into our pod early which was nice.
Bar staff were friendly and helpful as well.
Disliked Swimming had to be booked in advance, so it was already full on the day we arrived - it would be better if you could book in advance. Slide was only opened for 15 minutes of the swim session which seemed weird and no proper showering facilities in the pool so you had to walk back to shower.
Food and drink at the bar was gross, no real healthy options and food seemed expensive for what it was. The wine was disgusting also. Coffee was very expensive for just coming out a machine.
One of the showers was out of order and no external lock on the women's shower rooms and toilets.
Location was great - short drive to some lovely beaches and easy to get to supermarket, cafes, restaurants etc. However, you definitely need a car - not near to anything by foot.
Very friendly, welcoming place.
