Both showers flooded the floors, had to mop up ourselves and left with an offensive smelling bedroom carpet for rest of the stay. Delivered new towels which was good but soaked old ones werent removed so left with a heap of soaked towels in the bathroom for the remainder of the break. BBQ was needing a thorough deep clean so wasnt able to use which was disappointing.

Accommodation was very comfortable with ample room for 6 people.Had an issue with the bathroom fan not working but this was rectified very quickly by on site staff.Would definitely come back.

Date of stay: 16th August 2025

We stayed in the Ocean Breeze Villa 3 with Hot tub at Golden coast Holiday park. Staff were very friendly and the Villa was very comfortable, we loved the hot Tub. We loved the Indoor pool very spacious with a Sauna. The main outdoor Pool you have to book for an Hour and it is quite regimented with being called out 10 minutes earlier to get changed. The bowling was very expensive with it was £7.50 per person, so it cost us £30 for a family of four for one game and the Pool Game is £2. Nisa local and eating out is also expensive at Golden Coast Holiday park although the food was good. The menu could do with having more Vegetarian and Gluten free options. I think with the cost of living crisis at the moment we do feel the park need to review there charges for all the extras, if they did this we would be tempted to come back as it is a lovely park and not too Crowded.

We stayed in a 4 berth caravan, it was quite spacious, it was clean, and everything you'd expect. Could have done with a couple of extra items like a dust pan and brush and a iron but we did ask to borrow a hoover to which they accommodated us which was brilliant. It's quite a walk to the club house from cleavewood and pretty steep hills but the kids found the walk fun. There were some wear and tears in the caravan but due to it being a pets welcome caravan that's to be expected but overall it was fine.
