Drove for three and a half hours stayed for 10 mins

Nothing except the area

If you seen the pictures of the property I was sent and go and experience it honestly it was awful

Real nice quirky feel to the van, comfortable and great location.

Comfortable and good location

Utterly Filthy, Run Down and Broken

The area where the caravan is situated was lovely. A quiet corner of the park with lots of trees and space for children to play away from traffic. But that is genuinely the only positive thing I can say about the place.

First off, this is not a HOUSE, as deceptively advertised on other sites and implied here. It is an ageing caravan on a Park Dene site that appears to have had bits of wood and brickwork added to the interior. I was genuinely confused to discover this as the owner seemed to have gone out of his way to conceal the fact both in the advert, the photos and in directions - which were only given on the morning of travel and only in response to my request. The second we arrived then, we knew we had made a mistake - the very dirty decking gave us a clue. As did the overpowering smell of dirty dog that hit us when we opened the door. We completely understand that this is a dog-friendly caravan. We have stayed in these before elsewhere and found them fine. But Dog Friendly should not mean dirty and with both carpets and soft furnishings smelling like an unwashed dog basket. Dog owners do not, in the main, live like this at home. And for a holiday let to be in such a shocking state - with dog hair absolutely everywhere and a level of general dirt and grime that was genuinely shocking - is unforgivable. Attaching pictures to evidence the dirt but you'll have to imagine the smell for yourself. We are not clean freaks and have stayed in plenty of holiday accommodation before, but there is a basic level of cleanliness you expect when you are paying to stay somewhere. And when the photos (taken some time ago) make it look so cosy and cottagey). And it’s not as if it was cheap, even for a van. We could have stayed in a van owned by the site for the same amount of money. And wouldn't have been deceived into believing we had booked a house/holiday home! It's hard to list everything that was wrong with the place so I'll try to keep it brief. But the bedding was particularly concerning. There were visible marks on it and it was both worn and torn.

3 / 10

Not as good as photos online very worn in need of renovation.

The Nortical puffin theme around the Caravan was a nice touch. Both bed mattresses were very comfortable bonus!

The Caravan looked very worn and in need of a face lift painting & fresh cushions on the sofa. The carpets had lots of stains on it & the main bathroom off the double bedroom was a mess paint peeling off the cubicle. Shelf not secure leaning forward dangerous,. In the kitchen area there is only one plug socket? The cleaning was poor. Told the owner during my stay. The outside decking was very badly worn & outside further cushions needed to be thrown away badly weathered & stained unable to use; The dial on the electric fire is hanging off broken so can't turn the fan off! Towels provided had stains on them. The Twin bedroom was extremely small " photographs taken made it look bigger! ". TV reception was poor.

9 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026

Really enjoyed our stay. It’s dog friendly and had everything we needed. The decking area is a nice touch have and the location was great for walks and visiting the nearby villages.

The only small downside was having to carry our things from the car park to the lodge, but it wasn't too far and it's understandable as you can't drive on the grass so not the owner’s fault! The TV signal sometimes went, but it wasn't a big issue for us and didn't affect our stay.

6 / 10Average·Jun 2026

The attention to detail for decoration in the caravan. Close to the beach. Being in the woods listening to the birds and owls.

Caravan could do with a little tlc and a deep clean. The caravan park is very full/close, the car park is a few rows away from the van. With high demand and lots of people on site internet was slow.
