Stayed in a Rosemoor Lodge - very spacious and great to have the terrace at the front which could be closed off to keep little ones safely contained. The lodges are ideal if you want to be able to use the facilities but not feel like you're on a big holiday park as they're across the road from the main... More

Great little site - few niggles on arrival all fixed by the helpful team. Swimming pool £1.50 supplement but has a great slide, water jets, small kids area, etc. Usual evening entertainment was actually pretty good, normal pub prices. Great location with the beach literally 100m away and great for surf action. Food in the onsite pub/bar/restaurant was also decent... More

We have just returned from a weekend at Ruda booked via The Sun. We have never had a bad holiday here but this one exceeded all expectations. The caravan was amazing, such a high standard of accomodation and very well equipped. The weather was great, the park was spotless as always. Thank you Ruda, we look forward to returning soon!

Just Back from a Sun Holiday at Ruda... Arrived and eventually ( the new idea of having the beds made up has not worked in my book) got the key to the caravan, spotless but a bit too close to the club house for our liking, we decided to try and ask for a move... got to reception and another...

We booked this site for our sun holiday having used Parkdean before. The caravan as usual was spotless, bit of a problem with the front door not fitting properly, but it was ok. The staff were nice and friendly, the food was of a good quality, esp Sunday Lunch. The caravan site itself was spotless no rubbish about. Here's the... More

This year we decided to have several short breaks and plumped for this place for the Bank Holiday week. We have always liked this part of Devon. The weather wasn't great overall - two very sunny days and two with rain and sunny intervals but this didn't detract from the break. The big plus was the accomodation. We upgraded to... More

This was our first visit to Croyde as we usually stick to our old favourites on the Devon/Dorset border or the south coast of Cornwall. We weren't disappointed. We chose Ruda as our first choice for our first Sun holiday and being so used to sleeping under canvas we declined an upgrade. However, once we had checked in (check-in was... More

We booked a 4 night Mon-Fri stay at Ruda through The Sun holiday promotion. The park was in an idyllic location, down little country lanes, surrounded by fields dotted with sheep and lambs, and with a huge, flat, clean beach literally just across the road from the park entrance! The sea was very rough, but it was really windy, so... More

We have been visiting Ruda for more than 5 years now on the same bank holiday weekend. On our arrival this time we had pre-booked our favourite pitches at the top. We then found out that all pitches on the top field were now electric only, which meant those in our party who did not own a hook up still... More
