“I feel really torn with this review.”
The caravan itself is lovely, smelt amazing and was spotlessly clean. The double bed was comfortable, not sure about the twin rooms as I stayed on the sofa in the front room (it was comfortable)
The advert says there is a patio area, this is not the case. There is a small grass area with paving slabs for the parking.
The fridge is tiny, hardly enough room for the dogs food and our own, this really really needs to be looked into and improved as there is enough space for a much larger fridge freezer.
Some of the curtains do not close fully, due to this I used blankets to cover the windows at night so I felt I had the privacy needed.
As it is a self catering caravan you would expect there to be large plates. We could only find small sandwich plates which are not suitable to be eating full meals off. We had to go out and buy some. I contacted the owner regarding this and she said it was due to a past client which we completely understood, but we should have been made aware of this before arrival so we could bring some.
There was no clothing horse to dry out wet clothes after the beach, and I couldn't find a brush anywhere.
I found the owner to be very blunt on text message, I believe a simple apology for the plates would have been sufficient but we never received any such thing, all correspondence seemed very blunt and short. They could have said "enjoy your stay".
The caravan is directly next to a train line, so there is a lot of noise coming from running trains. This didn't bother me as I am a heavy sleeper but my mum had hardly any sleep due to this, so if you're a light sleeper this property might not be for you.
Neighbours were horrendously noisy until gone 3am, shouting and screaming and singing right outside. But this doesn't reflect on the caravan itself as they could have just been renting like ourselves.
The beach was so close by which was amazing, and the site is right next to loads of restaurants, shops and local amenities. There is a fair, market and park across the road. All amazing! So many things to do and places to go! We loved the fact that the caravan and the site is dog friendly.
All in all, we booked a last moments stay at a reasonable price, it wasn't terrible by any means but there are definitely small improvements that could be made to create a better experience. I really think if the owner took a little more time to improve the experience in future then this caravan will do amazing !
Thanks for a fun packed holiday! From Keighley (25), Janet (60), Elijah (6) and Akio the German Shepherd doggo!
