Just got back from a mid week stay at Gurnard Pines. We were really impressed at how spacious the lodge was and we would much prefer to stay in the lodges rather than the dated and drab looking chalets. The lodge has 2 comfortable sofas, tv with free view and DVD player. Fully equipped kitchen, bathroom with bath and shower... More

To be honest, Gurnard pines is what it is, like any other place. My family and I thought this was a great place for family to have a nice relaxing time. We all loved it. We rented a lodge- cheaper than a chalet. We payed the price of the lodge, but the person in charge got mixed up, and gave... More

Sadly, one of the worst places I have ever stayed. Accommodation is badly equipped, and in desperate need of a thorough clean. Odd rules about opening the children's play park (closed at least 2 days we were visiting) and wouldn't open the outdoor pool on hottest day of year so far. Staff are obnoxious and extremely rude, never saw the... More

We stayed last weekend in a rustic lodge on a newspaper deal. Very strange place! Glad I read the reviews before we went as it lived up to our expectations! The place seems to have been abandoned, all looked very tatty & tired. Will someone please give this place the attention it deserves?! Having said that the lodge was plenty... More

We have just got back from a brillian stay at Gurnard Pines. We have stay twice before here and were really impressed with new lodges. The ground around the lodges was really nice and not overlooked by others. We had two of the new lodges (253 and 254) for two families. We were really surprised by how spacious and roomy... More

It had two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lovely kitchen come dining room come lounge with everything that you could possibly need for a... More

Recently stayed in a rustic lodge which sleeps six and as there were only 2 of us there was plenty of room but for 5 or more people I would say it could get crowed. I managed to get a deal for £155 for 4 nights including a return ferry which was brilliant! But, there is little to do on... More

We have just come back from Gurnard Pines as we got a cheap deal via a newspaper offer. I really wasn't expecting much... I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and it was amazing value for money.
