This holiday took the biscuit from the moment we arrived. The brochure boasts such delights as a 12' wide luxury caravan with all mod cons including a full size fridge, a children's indoor play area, great food and entertainment etc etc.

Lets start with caravan:
It was not 12' wide and luxurious. It had stools around a dining table. Not ideal for strapping the chair for my two year old on. Considering you have to put the age of the children on the booking form, you would have thought someone would have checked it.
The fridge was fit for a two pint carton of milk and two plates. This was supposed to be a full size fridge as quoted on the booking.

An owners exclusive ho-down, 50' from our caravan compounded the holiday on the Saturday night, keeping the children awake with loud music. Complaints to the security staff at the site were ignored as they said they had no control over what went on.

The food was cold and greasy and took for ever to arrive. By the time it did arrive the children were crying so much as they were hungry, sending it back was not an option.

The entertainment was canned American rubbish that was repeated and my five year old sussed that out after two days. It was excessively loud and I had to return home most nights with my two year old who couldn't even tolerate the kids entertainment.
Doniford Bay Holiday Park, Watchet, Somerset

I have recently returned from a 3 night stay at Doniford Bay and my family and I had a great time.
My six year old loved the character shows and the family entertainment was fantastic with guest singers and visiting bands. All of the staff were freindly and polite and nothing was ever a problem for them. The accomodation was clean and in a good state of repair and although the beach was not sandy there were lots of rock pools and shells to collect. We enjoyed ourselves so much we have booked a week for next year already.
