Sandford Holiday Park

Positiv Plenty of activities for the children to do but be prepared to book everything online and pay extra. High ropes £30 for 2 people. Karts £17. Pool party £15, Mini Golf £6 per person etc. Camp site was nice and quiet. Staff were friendly and polite. Evening entertainment was okay.

Negativ Pool was open 10am - 12pm and 2pm - 4pm. Que to get in and only aloud 45mins. Indoor pool freezing and colder than the outdoor at one point. Outdoor pool has moss on the rim which was all in the pool. No hot water in 2 of the shower blocks so had to walk to the 3rd. Not the cleanest. Nearest toilet block had every toilet blocked. Wifi doesnt reach the camp site in the paddock.

Negativ Queues for pools

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Lauren,

Thanks for the great review!

We hope to see you again soon. ^SR

Positiv It's a lovely site, clean and well maintained, staff very friendly and helpful. Choice of eating places great and on the whole the food was good. There are laundry facilities there, great, however, there are three washing options available with different costs but only advertised for the eco wash. What we didn't realize Tescos will deliver to the site.

Negativ The amount of activities that was available had a cost to. Which can become Very expensive for families Very limited free items, to participate in, like swimming, the amount of time available not great especially with the numbers of people wishing to use the pools completely understand the safety aspect, however with the hot weather, instead of closing at 12-14.00 the staff availability should have been reviewed, to allow the pool to remain open. Which would have reduced the queuing time and disappoint for those not able to use the facility, when it closed at 16.00. shame the shower/toilet block near us was closed down, especially as that particular option was chosen due to medical conditions.

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Sharon,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback following your recent stay.

We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the site overall and found our staff friendly and helpful.

We truly appreciate your constructive comments. We also appreciate your suggestions surrounding pool opening times during warmer weather and understand the disappointment caused when access was limited due to demand and operational schedules.

We are sorry to hear that the nearby shower and toilet block was closed during your stay. We completely understand how inconvenient this would have been and apologise for the impact this had on your holiday experience.

Thank you again for both your kind comments and helpful suggestions. We’re pleased to hear that, overall, you enjoyed your stay and would consider visiting us again in the future. ^EC

Positiv The evening entertainment is great for children.

Negativ The site was overpopulated, pitches for caravans where far to small, with far more people using the area than it was designed to accommodate. As a result, the grounds and facilities are showing clear signs of neglect and poor maintenance. Overflowing waste, damaged infrastructure, toilets and shower blocks dirty and lack of regular upkeep have negatively impacted both the appearance and overall experience of the site.

Bins overflowing.

Positiv I was with my family, pitch was under a tree so had extra shade

Negativ Everything has gone downhill, been here multiple times. It was dirty in toilets, they were blocked and cold showers. Other people there were partying and singing loudly at 3am, and nothing was done to stop them. Had to book everything, huge queues. Will not be returning

Vom Platzbetreiber: Hi Nick,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback following your recent stay. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the overall layout of the park and found the site lovely.

We’re very sorry to hear that several aspects of your visit did not meet expectations. We appreciate your honest comments regarding the food quality, drink pricing, and your experience with the swimming pool facilities. We understand how disappointing it must have been to queue for a long period and still be unable to access the pool, especially during a family break.

Guest feedback is extremely important in helping us identify where improvements are needed.

Thank you again for your comments, and we do hope you may consider staying with us again in the future. ^EC

Positiv The showers were good, the chicken take away was good value and the arcade was good

Negativ The outside pool wasn’t open all day, and when it was you couldn’t get in as everyone wanted to use it, the fish and chip takeaway was a rip off for 3 cod and 3 half a dozen chips came to £45.00 their portions were terrible!
There were big rats running around the touring area!
It was too busy, With a lot of parents letting their very young kids just run riot, looked like out of sight out of mind, even while moving of the site the kids were running in the way, didn’t see any security anywhere
