Brighouse Bay Holiday Park

Peace and quiet plenty of walks

–

Good sized pitches with good spacing between them.
Bird watching, nice variety of birds.
Only had one meal at the restaurant which I enjoyed, price was OK.

Unisex toilet/shower blocks, felt very uncomfortable in them. Hand dryer didn't work
Shop items very overpriced. 1.5L of still water £2.20 very greedy.
Having to remove shoes out side of the change rooms thus ended up walking on wet floors to get changed for swimming, and then having to do the same on the way out.
Jacuzzi screened off.
Tables sticky in the leisure bar/restaurant, napkins stuck to the table.

Brilliant Site our 8 year old spent most of the time on the play area making Friends with other staying. Pool was good even though it has no Life Guards plenty of CCTV on the pool.

The thing to know is its a rural site so we had NO phone signal or WiFi at our pitch. The TV signal was poor on our caravan so it would be worth asking about there TV Points on some pitches. These are added to Liked as I had a hassle free weekend being self employed my phone is always ringing while away with the family but not this weekend.
The site was very clean and we noticed the staff out emptying the bins and cleaning around the site on most days of the bank holiday weekend.

All the staff were friendly that we had any dealings with.

We will go back.

We had meals twice in the club house but both times we were unimpressed with the child meals.

We had to ask for the free drink and ice cream that comes with the meal.

But the site was just starting it season so staff could be new.

Not massive site shop so make sure you take what you need with you although there is a small supermarket 10 minutes down the road.

Very clean facilities including toilets/showers/laundry. Nice play area for children, the swimming pool and leisure club were excellent.

Mobile phone coverage was extremely poor and no good for anyone back home trying to contact me in an emergency.

Clean toilets and shower facilities
Swimming pool was good (although extra charge to use)

Unfriendly staff at reception
Lack of response to Facebook messages
System for ordering food was chaotic, staff did not know where to take food and some did not understand basic English
Food overpriced
2 out of 3 tumble driers out of service (also 2 out of 5 washing machines)

We really liked the layout of the campsite, the pitches have plenty of space around them and are spread out throughout the park. It was a short walk up to the swimming baths which we used one evening before eating at the bistro which is situated in the same building. We stayed for two nights, the first evening was spent looking in rock looks and climbing over the rocks near the bay. The following day we walked part of the coastal path which was clearly signposted and were very fortunate to see some of the local widlife, rabbits, seabirds, 3 deer and several dolphins or porpoises swimming just off shore.

Pitch location
Children's Park behind our pitch

Touring bathrooms are slightly run down in comparison to other sites we have visited
Lake warm shower water and cold block, showing there is not a pleasant experience.

Really lovely spot and a bonus to not get any phone service too, bliss! Lots of nice walks, the beach is ace the spot on the site we had was quite secluded too.

Park was absolutely fantastic, check in was quick and easy. Staff at reception, in shop and in bar were all very friendly and helpful. The site has a lot to offer for all ages. Free WiFi in bar area.

No phone service anywhere on site.

We stayed at the very start of the season while there were very few other people on site.
Reception staff were helpful and friendly.
The toilet facilities were clean.
Pitches were accessible.
I wouldn't not recommend Brighouse Bay if this type of site is your cup of tea (we would normally stay at much smaller sites but there are very few of these at this time of year which is why we chose it)

Some investment in the site's facilities (shower blocks) might be advisable as these are beginning to look tired (although everything was cleaned regularly).
