The prices in papa John was a bit high having paid £40 on pizza n having to pay for dips, one employee' I think his name was max who was pushing... More

Was checked in by Jamie who was friendly and very informative and was always happy to help whenever i popped into reception. Caravan was basic but clean and had everything in it that we needed and was near to the entertainment complex.... More

Just returned from a three night stay at The Orchards with my two children aged eleven and seven. We had a lovely time despite bad weather. Our caravan was clean and modern despite being just standard accommodation. It was a little chilly at night in the bedrooms. However I did expect this so went prepared with hot water bottles. All...

Overall we were impressed with the campsite, it was clean and tidy, the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially the instructors and lifeguards. There was plenty for the children to do throughout the day and night. Facilities were good but the entertainment was ok up until 9pm. From that point onwards it was nothing short of dire with singers... More
