  • "The entertainment from the Bluecoats is fantastic and you won't be disappointed!"
  • "The swimming pool absolutely a blast and staff there always helpful and super friendly!"
  • "Our apartment was pretty clean when we arrived... The entertainment was fantastic and everything was open during the day for the kids to use, which they loved!"

Cons:

  • "It's in need of some renovations in many places. Go karts weren't working/damaged. Dino park was also closed during our visit."
  • "Swimming pool wasn't open so can't comment."
  • "Other areas on the park seemed OK but the noise levels where we were ruined the holiday completely and staff did nothing to address it."
  • "The entertainment was ok for kids but couldn’t stay up there as was way to hot no air con."
  • "The swimming pool was shut all week because some had a Pooh in there not enough staff."

  • "Always under staffed so everything is always closed early hardly anything to do."
  • "Music being played from chalets until 1 o clock in morning. Kids playing outside till late being loud."

Staff and Service

Pros:

  • "That said, we enjoyed our stay. The staff try hard to please which isn't easy given the environment they work in and the understaffing issues."
  • "Staff very helpful if treated with kindness."
  • "Central. Staff very helpful if treated with kindness."
  • "Security was amazing we had loud music the first 2 nights until 4am and woke us up at 6 eventually they got moved along and kicked out and the rest of the week was fine."
  • "My self and my family have been coming here for 3 years this year means more to us as a family and I could not thank the staff Anna, Chloe and Cat (manager) enough."
  • "The one bedroom apartments have a small twin room with a sofa bed in the living room. The biggest problem was that they are all single glazed, so offer almost no sound insulation, if you have noisy neighbours it will impact your stay."
  • "The staff were helpful, polite and kind (probably due a pay rise). Great arcades, crazy golf and play areas."
  • "It is what you make of it. The accommodation rooms are poor and I'm not sure how they have passed health and safety standards but everything else is good. The entertainment from the Bluecoats is fantastic and you won't be disappointed!"

Cons:

  • "The security / general managers on site do not do anything to deal with rowdy disruptive behaviour."
  • "The biggest issue though is the clientele of slovenly chavs and their feral children."
  • "The whole place needs a refurb looks so run down!!! Always under staffed so everything is always closed early hardly anything to do, people around us making noises like loud music playing, shouting, hitting football on our ground floor apartment when I have a baby and didn’t care how much noise was made."
  • "Worth the money,,, no. Will I come again,,, no."
  • "Apart from the bad bits, the kids entertainment was amazing. Really child friendly and a great atmosphere with all the mascots on stage and music and dancing."
  • "Most of the staff were rude (minus a couple)."
  • "Accommodation is extremely dated and in need of a total refurbishment. Staff are helpful to a point."
  • "The staff in the arcade were friendly and helpful, giving a little help to win the cuddly toys."
