Visitor Reviews of Oakdene Forest

vanessa & richard

we read a lot of reviews of the site before we wnet and agree with many of the positives. it is great having an outdoor pool, there is loads for children to do, the views are amazing and the lodges are nice and big. The kitchen had everything we wanted and our children liked that it had a dvd player. We had a couple of rainy days but you have to expect that if you dont go abroad. There was still plenty to do.

Comfortable stay, thank you

Verified Guest

Date of stay: 3rd April 2024

The caravan was very clean and the sofas comfortable as was the double bed, the bedding was fine but thin duvet on the double. Crockery and pans all good but the knives were not sharp enough to cut anything. There was no blind at the kitchen window, no plug at the sink and water very hot and difficult to regulate in the shower. The ensuite toilet was good to have and plenty of storage. We didn't bother to complain about the missing items as only stayed a short time. Nice complimentary tea cloth and oven mitts.

We've stayed in a Statement 3 and Statement 2 on a few occasions and at different parks, they are always very clean and comfortable, we've only ever had one issue (ants) but that was due to the time of year. I would definitely recommend these caravans.
