Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Macheath 7 reviews from this member

 We had just brought our first caravan and wanted to try it out. We chose breydon water because its not too far away. We arrived early evening and had to check in at the bar. The barman gave us our welcome pack and security told us our pitch number, and gave us rough directions. After driving round the tourers twice we found our pitch. The numbers were painted very small on a small concrete square on the grass. Once we got set up, (thanks very much to the Scottish people in the tent opposite who helped us with our first attempt at putting up our awning!)we decided to have a look around.

The children enjoyed the play area and sport court. During the weekend we went across to the sister park to use the indoor pool. When we got there the pool was shut for nearly 2 hours due to advertised activities. Although it said in the leaflet about these it never gave a time for the pool to shut. Rather than wait we walked back to our site and used the outdoor pool(well the children and husband did, I chose to watch as it looked like rain!). The children enjoyed the slide in the outdoor pool and weren't bothered by the weather. It was a bit of a pain there isnt any changing area near the pool, but the shower block was a short walk away.

We also hired out a family bike on site which was good fun. The food in the pub was ok. On the last night we went over to the clubhouse and caught some of the entertainment. My husband enjoyed the elton john tribute and even the children sang along. Would go again for a short break.

 Just back from a 7 day stay here. We arrived and where directed to the warden who was to show us to our pitch. We were with another family and stressed we wished to be sited together which was accommodated. The warden was very friendly and helpful.

The pitch was quite bumpy and devoid of grass in places and the ground was very loose and sandy which made for easy pitching. Not sure I would fancy it in any high winds or really wet weather though! The tracks around the site were mostly dirt and bumpy.

The kids loved the playground and heated outdoor pool and it didn't seem to get to busy. They also enjoyed the rentable bikes etc.

The worst thing about the park where the toilets/showers which were not very clean and the wife was not at all impressed! They seemed rarely cleaned and 2 or 3 times the toilets were blocked. Also towards the end of our stay the bins were literally overflowing with rubbish and people began to pile it next to the bins. It was very busy but this is not acceptable in my mind!

We did book last minute and as already stated in another review they always seem to have availability which is probably not a great sign.

The walk down to the fort is lovely and we visited the pub at the end of the path which also seemed nice. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and enough to keep everyone occupied.

The chinese/chipshop takeaway down the road is very reasonable with large portions(children's portion was 3 battered sausage and large chips and a drink for £3. 50!)

We did visit the club house one evening but it was very busy and there was standing room only drinks were reasonably priced though.

 Just arrived back from 7 day stay here. On arrival staff friendly and seemed impressive site.

Shown to pitch which are ok size but poor, worse Ive had divets, no grass and a kind of hard dusty ground the type that turns to mud with little rain.

The circular track that circles the camp field is a bumpy dirt track, we had a good weather week would hate to be here in rain. Toilets were dirty all the time even after cleaning still smelt badly of pee (recommend using different mop for dirty toilets as in round rim and then showers ooh), pot washing facilities were poor no plugs taps not working etc and the showers although no wait just about did job luke warm dribble. The indoor pool is actually on the sister site and unless you like hiking should not be advertised as a facility for this site. The outdoor pool is actually ok with a good water temp although no changing room. We did have a drink in clubhouse which was nice but really expensive so never went back. Football court good and children's play area above average with hire out of family fun bikes really good. There was no rowdy behaviour here and was patrolled at night by nice staff talking to them they know there was problem in past and seemed to have addressed it.

Location of site 15/2omin drive to Yarmouth local Tesco Express 5 min down road also out the back of the site is two nice walks with really nice waterside pubs in each direction.

The Yarmouth area is great for attractions wet or dry with Hemsby being my favourite and will swap area for usual Devon/Dorset but not at this site . In summary you can make best and did enjoy my holiday but overpriced at 300 for the week school holidays or not. Food for thought we booked last minute and so did a lot of our neighbours we could not get in anywhere this site always seems to have availability 


Date of Visit: August 2011 Unit:  Touring Caravan
Reviewer: Mrmhayes 11 reviews from this member

 Had a few days here earlier in the year in our touring caravan and it seemed ok, went back for a very short break and what a disappointment. The tourers and tents were packed in tighter then sardines in a tin. The touring field was covered with litter and although we were promised it would be cleaned up it never was. The toilets and shower blocks were not what you would expect from a site run by a major company ( park resorts). The entertainment was OK but the bar was overpriced. Best thing about this trip was the meal from the on site restaurant ( thai red curry). Wont be visiting this site again.

Reviewer: Andyccu0 2 reviews from this member

 Booked our holiday here before reading reviews. To be honest, we probably wouldn't have booked if we had. Now we have stayed here I would be returning. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's not the best site I have ever been on, and it does need some more work. But all in all we enjoyed our stay.

Nobody answered the phone for their takeaway service. There is a Chinese takeaway shop just up the road and the portions were huge. They also do the normal chippy food, so something for everyone.

On arrival the warden asked where we wanted to pitch. After reading the reviews I said 'not at the bottom of the hill'. He laughed and asked if we had been before.

A couple of days later he was showing round a new member of staff and pointed out the pitches that flood, so they are definitely aware of the problem. Makes sure you don't get those ones and I think you'll be fine.

 Stayed there with My O. H in The Yare village, found the Reception staff friendly and professional.

The one thing I did get frustrated with was ringing up for a Takeaway on site( yes very lazy I know LOL)

I rang three times no reply then left a message including My mobile number. Time was getting on so I walked down there. I stood at the back where the food was served having not been there before for the young lady to ignore. I walked down a spoke to the guys at the bar explaining how rude she was. I also explained about having no call re a Takeaway only to be told politely I might add they wait until they get a message from Security ! LOL.

Next night we had a guy come round from local Chinese which we went ahead with they delivered to Reception. I might add the the Fish n chips would have been cheaper.

All in all I would stay there again. 


Date of Visit: July 2011 Unit:  Trailer Tent
Reviewer: Julesb411 8 reviews from this member

 After staying on this site in june 2009 I swore never to return again it was like holiday from hell. I left a bad review of this site which I'm now contradicting. Due to low cost we decided to give it another try fri 1st to monday 4th and ended up staying an extra night, couldn't believe how different it was. We arrived 9pm at night and was asked if we wanted to pick our own pitch, which we did to my delight, made sure we were near to pool, club and park so could keep an eye on kids.

toilets and showers were cleaned at least twice a day, outdoor pool lovely and clean, kids went in everyday. Staff were really friendly. Other people on site said how it had changed, only gripe I had was the price of drinks in the club rather expensive but you cant have everything I suppose, all in all we cant wait to go back there.

 Returned from this site yesterday after a interesting experience.

Upon arrival was very impressed by facilities and friendliness of staff.

Is a very open site so very difficult to pitch in winds and gusts!

Toilets on arrival on the Thursday were immaculate however they were not cleaned again during my stay of 4 nights and with use of lots of people that don't agree with flushing! soon became very unpleasant to use.

The play ground on site was fairly good but in need of a little tlc. However the crazy golf was good value for money.

The club house although small was a great layout however everything including the bingo was very expensive.

Has no over night security so is very noisy with lots of anti social behaviour.

On the plus side there is a small shop just off site that had great customer service and some very helpful advice! Great local area though with lots of things to do!

 Stayed two nights at this site as a base to visit Pleasurewood Hills theme park. Check in was poor, pitch should have been available at 12:00 midday but receptionist said warden was at lunch and we would have to wait until 1:00pm. Waited until 1:30 and went back to reception to complain he still hadn't arrived. Was told he was on his way and eventually another 15 mins later he did appear and said without apology 'pitch up wherever you want' !. The park was very loud in the evening with shouting still going on at midnight. The clubhouse / bar was a good size and kids liked the entertainment but drinks were overpriced. Pool was in need of some maintenance as lots of cracked tiles and black mould. Toilets & showers were large but badly maintained. No soap in sink soap dispensers for 2 days and standard of cleaning poor. Site is well positioned but let down by lack of maintenance and staff.

Reviewer: Trevjo 5 reviews from this member

 I went on holiday with my fiance and future mother-in-law.

We had requested a caravan with disabled facilities and this was accepted at the booking time.

We were shown where to find our caravan, it was practically brand new with wheelchair access a wide corridor between bedrooms, of which there were two, and wide doors to the bedrooms and shower.

Unfortunately the caravan had not been hooked up to the water, we were given the wrong one.

After moving to the caravan next door, with help from the staff, we started our holiday again.

The facilities included pools, play areas, bar restaurant, arcade, cabaret, and on site shop.

All were well used and popular.

We did not eat on site, but spent most of our holiday in Great Yarmouth.

We went to the Model Village, Sea Center, Cinema, Shopping Arcade, and Beach.

We also travelled and explored the area up and down the coast, but by far Great Yarmouth had most to do at this time of year.
