Sandford Holiday Park

A aimé This is the best played out Holliday park we have ever stayed at

N'a pas aimé Nothing

A aimé What staff we could find were very helpful.

N'a pas aimé Quite honestly, we disliked everything.
When we arrived, we were checked in by security guards, because there was no staff on reception. We found our pitch easily but the closest toilets to us were a disgrace. Even our six-year-old son said he didn’t want to use them because they were so dirty and the flush didn’t work.
This was the case for the whole shower /WC block.
Things weren’t much better in the main building. The only staff we found were on the bar or waiting tables in the restaurant or running the prize booth in the amusement arcade.
We left the restaurant pretty quickly because we could hear screaming from the ladies loos. This turned out to be a child having a total meltdown because they needed the loo but could not go because they were so dirty. The poor child was screaming and it went on for so long, we began to feel quite uncomfortable. There were no cleaning staff to be seen anywhere.
The whole site is completely rundown and tired looking. We had a walk around and looked at the crazy golf for something to do, but everything was broken.
Bearing in mind that this was the beginning of the season, the children don’t break up from school for two weeks, I pity those who have booked for this summer as their main holiday. Not a great experience, would not recommend.
We left the next day before breakfast, because we didn’t fancy eating there.

A aimé Nothing to note here. It was awful.

N'a pas aimé Site full of the travelling community. Adults driving like idiots through the site, kids running around terrorising and intimidating everyone, stealing from the campsite shop and no respect for people's pitches.

Dogs not controlled. Off the leads and barking non stop.

One security check over the three days, hence why nothing was done about the noise, behaviour and the dogs.

Indoor pool shut.

Facilities disgusting and cold.

A aimé Lovely, well kept site. Staff very friendly, efficient and helpful. Toilet & shower facilities in the paddock area where we stayed were very modern and clean. Indoor & outdoor pools were good.

N'a pas aimé It would have been nice if the pool opened earlier in the morning, as we only stayed for one night and would have enjoyed a swim before we left. Also, the option to have a cheaper touring pitch without electric hook-up would've been good.

A aimé Lovely area we were on

N'a pas aimé The other undesirable 3 vans which turned up the day after, traveler types who had us have to stay in our van to prevent the football from damaging our caravan and property
+ you were quite clear on the voice mail I got to say no commercial or sign written vehicles to which they had one
I can only say footballs are the main problems for us and other campers we spoke to
They should be band from the pitch areas

A aimé Entertainment and bar, outside pool and pitch location

A aimé Our pitch was close to the toilet/shower facilities which were clean and saw cleaners go in regularly.

N'a pas aimé Only issue I had was that the hot water in the shower took some time to come through . Food took a while to arrive in the restaurant and the Wi-Fi wasn't good there

A aimé The whole site was clean and tidy. Nicely layed out pitches, good size pitches lots of room for motorhomes with awnings.
Shower block also very clean and tidy.
On site facilities very good lots to do and see, a round of crazy golf is a must.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Service in the boathouse restaurant quick and easy to order from the parkdean app.
Food delivery is available to your pitch.

A aimé Restaurants food was good, but expensive.
Nice well laid out site.

N'a pas aimé Touring toilet blocks very dated, worn and stank.
Poor guy doing the cleaning was doing a great job but a mixture of dated facilities that really need replacing and people not understanding basic toileting skills, it really does need a refit.

A aimé The park had plenty of facilities

N'a pas aimé The toilets/ showers were disgusting. People seemed to lack the basics skills, like flushing a toilet. Aiming for the the toilet would have been a bonus
