Breydon Water Holiday Park

Liked We brought the grandchildren for a short 2 night break.

They liked the outdoor swimming pool and the go carts.

We liked that the park area was nice and secure for the kids.

We liked that there was a nice walk with nice views to take the dog.

There is a supermarket a short drive from the site.

We liked that the site is dog friendly.

There is a nice room with sinks to wash your pots in.

Staff were friendly and helpful.

Disliked Although there are notices across the park saying dogs should be kept on leads, we saw several that weren’t. We saw dogs wandering around and toileting with no owner to notice let alone pick it up after them. We own a very anxious dog so this was a big problem for us.

The showers were the worse I have come across on a campsite. It’s great that you don’t have to put money in them, but you have to stand and push hard to hold the button to get any water. As soon as you take your hand off, the water stops. It makes a relaxing wash and hair washing practically impossible. It also meant that the kids couldn’t manage alone.

I paid £3.15 for a bottle of water which I thought was overly expensive. That said, the food was pretty good.

Liked Check in was easy enough

Disliked Swimming pool kept opening and closing so kept having different time slots for the kids to swim. Could only order food poolside via the app. Couldn't get the app downloaded so needless to say ended up going off site for food. Kids arcade machines never seem to print winning tickets out as always running out (apparently)? Kids park is a bit tired and sad needless to say they only used it for about 5 minutes.

Liked Good, clean (screen-free) family fun. Watching the children make new friends every day is my favourite part of the holiday. Outside pool pleasantly warm. Camping site staff visibly keeping the toilets and kitchen area clean, meaning they’re a pleasure to use. Bingo Ga Ga was great (would be better played earlier in the evening as the warm-up for the big prize bingo game before the little ones run out of steam).

Liked Proximity to Burgh Castle and the river for Crabbing….

Disliked The site was a complete dive. Over camped pitches that were just dust, very hard stony ground, pitches very close together bordering on dangerous. Showers and toilets disgusting and showers push button so you had to hold the button down. Outdoor pool flooring was loose sharp stone which was then in the bottom of the pool. Noisiest site I’ve ever been on with screaming kids and swearing adults until 1am. Reception couldn’t have cared less. Food and drink on site were crazy money, they gave you an information pack with 2-4-1 coffee vouchers but these weren’t redeemable on this site. No shop on site unless you walk up the road to the other site. Tried to book swimming to be told it was just a “turn up” event, but when we turned up were told we had to book. Will 10000000% avoid this site at all costs.

Liked The outdoor swimming pool and the way the lifeguards interacted with families.

The friendly attitude of staff in general.

The size of the pitches.

Decent amount of entertainment.

The cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom areas, as well as the number of sinks and shower cubicles.

Closeness to Great Yarmouth beach.

Disliked Arrival information stating no gazebos when plots were big enough for these and being used by some.

Very short shower heads that involved standing with your forehead close to the wall to wash.

Level of noise by some campers that seemed to be acceptable for the site.

Liked The shower block was clean
The staff in The Boat House Restaurant were fantastic, always very helpful and accommodating.

Disliked Bingo was a bit expensive. I don't like linking up to all the other venues, much less chance of winning even though the prize money is better.

Liked Not a lot!

Disliked Site for tourers appears scruffy, wrong numbers on pitches. Showers have to hold button in to get water, no timer on it. Chemical waste area, yuck.
