Marlie Holiday Park

Likte The location is lovely and very peaceful,
The pod is spacious but could do with a couple of hooks in the walls to hang things.
We liked we could still have a bbq and bought our own cooking equipment to. We normally do camping but my little one has broken his arm so we thought this was a better option and we are so glad we did.
Parking available so you don’t have to lug all your stuff far either. Bonus that you get access to the pool and facilities to. There’s an onsite shop for any essentials you have forgotten to. Dymchurch beach is 10 mins down the road we spent the whole day and had a lovely time.

Likte ikke Shower blocks were in need of some tlc they were very dirty when we arrived but once cleaned they were ok. I feel these need to be checked maybe twice a day I’m not talking full clean even if just the floor is wiped down. There’s no communal fridge. This we struggled with when ever we have been camping there has been a fridge so it was very hard to keep anything cold. Either a communal fridge or a small one in the pods would be great.

Likte POD was spacious, clean and also liked the space in front where we setup our temporary kitchen and our kids enjoyed playing on the open green grass..

Likte ikke Toilets needs bit renovation but it’s fine.

Likte Pod was clean and ready for us. Very quiet site with good access to toilets. Swimming pool lovely but staff needs to make bookings system easier and not ask for pass cards when cards where shown at the time of the booking in the office.

Likte ikke There is only ramp to get into toilets. It will be nice to have couple of stairs to get there quicker but still good.

Likte Der Platz war sehr schön. Die Ausstattung war gut.

Likte ikke Die sanitären Einrichtungen wurden von den anderen Gästen sehr unhygienisch behandelt. Zum Teil war es grenzwertig schmutzig. Das Problem liegt hauptsächlich an den Gästen - es sollte als Reaktion dennoch öfters geputzt werden.

Likte Did like all before, untill last visit.

Likte ikke What was meant to be a short family break turned into a disaster. We — two adults and two children — stayed at Marlie Holiday Park on the 4th of July and were placed in Pod 10, which turned out to be severely infested with bed bugs.

On the first night, we noticed some movement in the bed but didn’t think much of it — it was late, and we were exhausted after travelling. The shock came the next morning when we found dead bugs and a large number of blood spots on the sheets. We reported it straight away and were moved to another pod the same day.

We sent photos of the infestation to the local manager, who simply acknowledged receiving them and seemed more focused on pointing out that we’d been moved — almost proudly — rather than showing any concern. There was no apology, no follow-up, and no sign that the issue was taken seriously. It was only after several chase-up emails and escalating the matter to Head Office that we finally received any proper response.

At the time of the move, there were no obvious bite marks, but within a few days, all four of us began developing painful, itchy bites. What we didn’t realise is that bed bug bites don’t appear immediately — they started showing up 3–4 days later, continued for nearly two weeks, and took just as long to fade. The discomfort was ongoing and genuinely unpleasant.

Eventually, the General Manager contacted us — but the only offer was a refund for the accommodation, with no recognition of everything we had to deal with: a GP visit, antibiotics, out-of-pocket medical costs, and a day of unpaid leave.

To make matters worse, Pod 10 was re-let the same day we checked out, raising serious concerns about hygiene standards and guest safety.

One of the most worrying parts of this whole experience is the very real risk of bringing bed bugs home, which could have turned a bad holiday into a months-long nightmare. Thankfully, we managed to avoid that — but I honestly don’t even want to imagine what it would have meant for our home, our children, and our lives if that had happened.

This wasn’t just an unfortunate incident — it was a clear failure in health, hygiene, and basic customer care. The lack of accountability from local management and the bare-minimum response after escalation made an already stressful experience even worse for our whole family.

Likte Nice quiet place. Not too busy. Clean and well organised.

Likte ikke Water in the shower way too hot. Not possible to adjust hot water temperature, too dangerous for everyone, especially little kids.

Likte Pods are great and surroundings are nice as a bit out of the way

Likte ikke 24 pods with only 3 showers per sex! Each pods sleeps 4 people. Not enough facilities for people however they are hot.
Also the club house is really not great for families. Security guards, very expensive drinks and food plus the children's entertainment was terrible!

Likte Stayed in the pods, which were lovely and clean. The swimming pool was clean and easy to book at reception and the club house food was delicious and fast to come out, even when it was busy. The entertainment was good, although we didn't take part with a lot of it. The site was good for young children, mine aged 6 to 11. They lived the arcade, but it was expensive.

Likte ikke The toilet and shower block near the pods was poor. It was dated, there was hot water in only one shower and it was often grubby. The walkway to the pods was extremely muddy, we spent the entire 4 days covered in mud no matter how we tried to avoid it, and it really does ruin the experience. Also no where to off load muddy shoes and no mop in the pod so we had to battle it in there too. I'm sure in a caravan this place is good, as they have concrete pathways, but u wouldn't recommend a pod unless you go in drier months.
