What customers say

Great spot near Charmouth beach. Facilities are tidy, staff friendly. Kids loved the pools, play areas, and soft play. A bit dated in places, but convenient for exploring, with good bus routes. Some road noise and bumpy pitches mentioned.

Carole J.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked The lady at reception gave a warm welcome and quickly explained where our pitch was.
The bus stops was right outside the site, which made life easy getting to Lyme Regis or Bridport.
The grass pitch was level.
As we were only there for 2 nights, we didn’t use any other facilities except the shop for milk. It appeared to be well stocked.

Disliked We disliked the cleanliness of the showers/toilets. These were very dated, and although we saw the cleaners in them in the morning, it wasn’t thorough cleaning, just a wipe over. The loos did not appear to be checked over during the day which they definitely needed. We were there for only 2 nights, half way through September. I dread to think what they would be like in peak season. The wash-up area (3 sinks) appeared not to be cleaned during our stay.

From the manager: Hi Carole,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're really glad to hear you received a warm welcome from our reception team and found your pitch level and conveniently located near the bus stops — it's great that you were able to explore Lyme Regis and Bridport so easily!
We appreciate your honest feedback regarding the cleanliness of the shower and toilet facilities. We're sorry to hear they didn’t meet your expectations during your stay.
Your comments about the wash-up area have also been noted and will be followed up with our cleaning team.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback — it helps us improve and provide a better experience for all guests. We hope you might consider staying with us again in the future.
Best wishes,
Newlands Holidays

Gemma J.

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Lovely views, really well laid out and spacious, facilities are great, especially for kids - playparks, softplay, indoor and outdoor pool (outside is very chilly, though good for an ice dip if you've been in the Sauna) clean facilities, dog park, good food options served all day (pizza and Panini's in-between breakfast and dinner service) evening entertainment in peak season, which we just missed, but just hopped on the bus to Bridport for an evening out. All in all loved it and will be back!

From the manager: Hi Gemma,
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the views, layout, and all the facilities—especially the ones for the kids. Great to hear you made good use of the pools and sauna (brave taking on the outdoor one!), and that the food and nearby transport links worked well for your stay.
We appreciate your kind words and can’t wait to welcome you back soon!

Electric grass touring pitch

Liked Stunning views, good location with bus stop outside for Lyme Regis and Weymouth, had a good pitch with everything to hand . Very enjoyable stay.

Disliked Pitches for grass are mainly on a slope some are very steep, luckily mine wasn't. Would book a hard standing pitch next time.I think the toilet/shower block would benefit from a deep steam clean and reseal around some areas.

From the manager: Hello,
Thank you for your kind review—we’re so glad you enjoyed the views, the convenient location, and your pitch. It’s great to hear you had a relaxing stay.

Liked Site was pleasant, toilet and shower facilities were clean. Good play area for the children and soft play as well.

Disliked They want you to pay extra for using the swimming pool when you have already paid for your holiday! Outrageous!

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.
