About the owner

Hi, my name is Marie. Both myself and my fiancé Neil have been visiting Challaborough Holiday Park for many years. We love it so much that on our summer 2021 holiday, we took the plunge and bought our own caravan. It's a truly special place and we are pleased to be able to share it, to help towards site fees and when we are unable to use it. We have received some great feedback, so far, so hope if you choose to stay with us, you and your family/friends have a wonderful holiday. If you have any questions, or need any further information please do not hesitate to contact us. Best wishes, Marie & Neil

We absolutely loved our stay in Dale 1 at Challaborough Bay. It's our third stay on the site and by far the best caravan and location on site that we've stayed in. The decor is modern and homely, the decking (south facing) and garden furniture gave us a great outdoor space to sit in the sun, the beds are comfy and the caravan is spacious and had everything we needed, including a lovely power shower. It isn't overlooked and is so close to the beach and restaurant/entertainment area but without being too close. We had the most perfect holiday! The owner is lovely, very helpful with excellent communication. I would highly recommend booking to stay here, in fact we will be re-booking shortly!

Hi Liz, Thank you so much for your lovely review Liz. We are so happy that you and your family had such a wonderful holiday and definitely look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Marie & Neil

Just returned from a fab break in this caravan…. Fab location not far to walk if you are a beach lover with paddle boards and kayaks available to hire, caravan is adjacent to a little stream with decking at side and front with patio furniture to use, on a beautiful evening. Caravan very clean and everything you need for a break is there and Marie and Neil are on hand if there were any issues. I would highly recommend this caravan and I will be booking again in the future.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Fran..I am so pleased you had a good holiday.. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Marie & Neil

Extremely clean modern caravan in an excellent spot, little stream running past, new decking around the caravan which is an added bonus and your own parking spot. A few minutes walk onto the beach. Amazing beach area with plenty on offer, kayaking paddle boarding to name a few. . The park itself is clean and looked after. We would definitely recommend this caravan, owners quick to answer any questions we had. Also Wifi fitted while we were there so 2 happy teenagers!

Hi Rachel, many thanks for your review. So pleased you had a lovely holiday, despite the weather. We hope to see you again soon. Kind regards, Marie & Neil

Outstanding site location, right on Challaborough beach, Caravan well placed on site, 100 metres from beach, Caravan spotless, all mod cons, as described in owners advert, all very new. Wi-Fi in caravan excellent, enabling up-to 10 devices to be connected, even viable for streaming live Tv via Netflix / Firestick, all for free via ParkDean Wi-Fi Account creation. Owner has recently had addition of decking, which makes a substantial difference to stay. The aspects which people seem to find a negative about Challaborough Bay when reviewing, be that on this site or on Tripadvisor, is the narrowness of the lanes to get to the site and the lack of options to do within walking distance of site. IMO, yes the lane is narrow, but when navigated with care, less speed and leaving adequate distance from any vehicle in front to avoid a convoy and subsequent blockage with vehicles coming the other way, it becomes second nature and isn't of concern. The lack of walking distance options of site is what it is, where there to be a plethora of options, the location wouldn't be what it is, exclusive, uncrowded, Burgh island, the site clubhouse, the site beach side bar, the beach, coupled with a few day trips to Salcombe, Dartmouth or Looe, provided great options on the day the sun didn't shine in the expected August way. All in all, a fantastic Caravan and Location, great stay, would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Mike. I am so glad you and your family had a great week, despite the weather.. We love Challeborough too. We would love to have you stay again in the future. Many thanks, Marie & Neil

Extremely clean modern caravan. Less than 3 minutes walk onto the beach. Lovely beach area. The park itself was well kept and the staff we interacted with were all helpful and friendly. Little Nisa shop, 2 restaurants, a chippy takeaway and a cliff top cafe all within a few mins walk. Great location!Short drive to Salcombe and Kingsbridge. We were a little concerned on arrival, as having 3 teens and finding there was no wifi, there was a few tantrums. Soon worked out good 3/4G signal on the beach and if you hook up to the ParkDean wifi at reception, it is still strong enough signal for social media if you sit next to the parking space allocated for the caravan, so all was well there too. I would definitely recommend this caravan, host and caravan site.

Hi Sam, many thanks for your review, much appreciated. We ourselves know it is frustrating without WiFi. It is due to be installed in the next couple of weeks. Parkdean have to wait for a block booking of new installations before the supplier will come to site. So glad you had a nice holiday and we would love for you to stay with us again in the future. Kind regards, Marie

Me, my boyfriend and our 10 month old son stayed at Marie’s caravan with my boyfriends parents and we had the most lovely stay. I couldn’t recommend it enough! Marie was super helpful, quick to respond and nothing was too much hassle for her. The Caravan was immaculate and we have no complaints whatsoever. This was my first time staying in a caravan and it will certainly not be the last! Thank you again for fitting us in at such short notice, we will certainly be back soon!

Thank you so much for your lovely review Paulina, it was our pleasure. We are so pleased you had a lovely break and we could help put at short notice. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind regards, Marie & Neil
