After reading negative reviews, I was hesitant about going but now I have been I could not fault it. The key is to ask for one of the renovated apartments. Very comfortable and modern and apartment 64M was lovely and quiet. Thank you for a lovely weekend More

We booked as a sun holiday for a long weekend staying across the road in the golden coast behind the manor house. I was very worried about going once I read the reviews but it wasn't as bad as they said, it was very cheap and you get what you pay for. Our chalet had recently new windows, door and... More

After receiving a leaflet through the post we briefly looked online, decided it looked nice and booked to stay in this holiday park for 3 nights but only managed 1. We paid £140. Upon arrival the chalet we were allocated was not at all like the one advertised in the brochure. We opened the door and immediately the smell of... More

We booked this before reading all the bad reviews and arrived hoping they had been exaggerated- sadly not! We dont demand much on a cheap weekend away but certain things should definately be standard- Cleanliness- the chalet was really dirty - carpet had a layer of dirt on - hadnt seen a hoover for a long time- proven by some...

3 nights booked for large rugby tour, taking into account the strain of having the place full and using every ounce of space, the quality of accommodation was still nothing better than appalling. Not just our group, but many other parents also said the same across lots of teams we spoke to. Maybe it is what some people our used... More

Wow, I thought places like this didn't exist anymore! If you do book this place, if you want a room for 4 people, book a chalet for 6. Terrible, outdated, scruffy, shabby, cheap dump! Imagine Hi-Di-Hi on a very big hill, stunning views from some chalets, walk down into town, get a taxi back, just tell the driver u want... More

My husband and young daughter (17 months old) have just stayed at this holiday park and were very dissapointed. It was cheap and we didn't expect miracles but we did expect a little more than what we got. The apartment was supposedly (gold) but was very basic and old fashioned almost like a prison cell. The television was very small... More
