“When booking I entered all details on website but screen froze when I clicked payment button. I repeated the above with the same result. I then phoned and explained the problem before giving my details again (and again) after being passed around, then I was told it would cost more than booking online as after a VERY quick check I was told the website was working and had no problems. I declined as I don't like being told there isn't a problem when I specifically phoned to say there is!”

“Easiwell Farm we paid nearly twice the amount that we had paid for Twitchen House a few weeks ago. Staff were great although when we were trying to get onto a really small hard standing all I could hear was another lady complaining to the site manager about her pitch and the manger quickly resiting her not a good advert! A really tired depressing site that needs a makeover, there was a walkway by the Chemical elsan disposal that had overgrown vegetation, a barn that had an asbestos roof that had bits missing off of it! The shame was you could see another site that was in Mortehoe that looked lovely that was a quarter of the price. Pool was a joke more like a plunge pool. Come on Woolacombe Group if your not going to give it a facelift at least charge a lot less for this tired old site. Lucky your staff are lovely as this stops people getting upset over it.”

“Disappointed to say the least. Rang and asked to book Tywitchen site. Advised fully booked but had space on Easewell Farm Site. This site has cost us £42 for 2 nights, 2 Adults and 2,dogs. The pitch has hard standing, which is a joke it’s so narrow, our Motorhome just fits on. The site is very tired looking and not particularly clean. Had a shower yesterday, first one didn’t work so had to move, second shower was like being jet washed! Went for a swim and the person attending the pool had put a yellow hose running cold water in, it was really cold and children were squirting water at each other. We have paid a lot of money for a pitch beside a pathway with people continually walking past, no privacy. We have the toilet disposal behind us. I went to ask reception about prices for sites. I have been advised that you need to check online as the sites do not have set prices it’s all based on availability. I am told that this is the worst site to be on out of the 4. Considering this was not our original choice and not used this company or visited these sites before, we don’t feel that we wish to return if this is the standard. For the money paid we are very disappointed indeed. We went out yesterday and talked to other holiday makers and they were shocked at the amount of money we had been charged. This site is very sad and tired looking. If we could have had a refund and moved on we would have. Once parking the motor home and walking towards reception and seeing an old barn, half the roof missing on one side (which looks like it’s asbestos) really sets the tone for the whole site. The shower in the swimming pool is not very good, if the men and women’s is being used at the same time the pressure and temperature drop. It’s a sad and tired site, a lady told me she paid £15.70 a night last week. Obviously we have been ripped off for Easter, under the availability price guide!”

Hi, We're very sorry to hear of your disappointment. We have forwarded your email onto management for their information; if you would like a formal reply then please put your comments in writing to Customer Services, Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks, Woolacombe, Devon EX34 7HW signed by the lead booker. Alternatively you can scan a copy of the letter to us, or email your contents along with a scan or photo of the lead's signature, to customerservices@woolacombe.com We would like to clarify how our pricing works. There is a base price and then discounts may be applied on top of these; the base price doesn't change on a particular date, but may change from week to week. Like all travel and accommodation operators, customer demand varies dramatically at different times and this is reflected in the pricing and level of discount available. Typically the best discounts are for booking early, which also gets you the best choice of Parks, pitch types and pitch numbers, leaving it closer to the holiday means less choice and usually lower discounts. As the discounts can change at any point according to the rate holidays are booking up, it would be impractical to produce a price list as it would be out of date just as soon as it is printed. It's why most operator's brochures only include loose guide prices or none at all. We hope despite your present disappointment we might welcome you back to one of our other Parks again, Twitchen House is immensely popular so it is advised to always book it early. ^kd, social media team

“Each year Woolacombe bay redo their booking experience. This is by far the worst one yet. It is incredibly slow along adjustments to your holiday means starting it again, comparing different dates and accommodation required using 2 different browsers. There were way to many clicks for simple tasks and you ended up often clicking in the wrong place which usually meant a wait if 10-30 seconds while the page loaded.”

“On line booking process was frustrating, not only was i using my phone but an i pad too. The site kept crashing or directing me to a chat line to ask questions which were not answered. I telephoned booking office but they would not honour the £10 discount then told me where i wanted to book was not available. I eventually managed to book exactly where i wanted with the discount on line. However if this wasn't for a wedding i would definately have chosen somewhere else that was customer friendly.”

“When I put my card number in and waited for it to tell me I have paid and give me a booking reference it did not show it on the screen. All it showed after about 4 minutes was a message ‘this unit is no longer available’ hence I thought I had not paid. I looked for another caravan and again chose the number. Exactly the same thing happened ‘this unit is no longer available’ but no booking ref or email sent. I tried once more and the same thing happened so we decided to look at our bank account and realised that all three deposits had been paid. Therefore there seemed to be a problem with the last page of the booking on the website. I rang the next day and the representative sorted out the refunds and gave me the booking reference”

“My booking process has been pretty stressful as when booking on the website the booking status failed to progress (for half an hour) so I’ve ended up paying twice.”

“The parks are great but the booking experience wasn't. I tried on my phone but I entered all of my card details and it kept saying enter details but I had! In the end I phoned and the advisor was really nice and hrlpful but it costs more to book on the phone so i got the computer out and then it was easy.”

Thank you for your review - in the email and when posting the review, you are kindly requested to rate the online booking experience and not the holiday itself. After the holiday you will be emailed a more detailed questionnaire which you can use to rate the elements of your stay once you have taken your break.

“Whilst the facilities and entertainment are of a good standard, the accommodation does not always meet this standard. We stayed in a gold caravan which was grubby, outdated and unclean on arrival, with remnants of the previous occupants in the form of cigarette ends all over the entrance, unfinished cans and crumbs and food pieces all over the worktops and floor. This standard of accommodation needs to be vastly improved to meet the standard of other areas of the park such as the entertainment areas. The check in staff were impolite, unenthusiastic and did nothing to make us feel welcome on arrival.”

“The room was filthy smelly with dirty sheets,mould, I cob webs everywhere. Peoples hair in the bath. It made me feel sick. It stunk so much I didn’t want to eat or breathe in the room. I was disgusted that I paid nearly £400”
