We are very disappointed with your booking system we booked for 2 nights but I put the wrong date I immediately rang up to change it but they said it could not be done so I lose my money or pay for another night, we have been coming to Woolacombe bay for years but this experience has been terrible and put us off and we will be telling all the people that we recommend to this place how bad they have been in not letting me change the date after 5 mins of booking unbelievable šŸ˜”

When no making the booking the option to add some form of booking insurance was offered at Ā£0 and recommended sĆ³ of course this option was selected. Instead of Ā£0 we were instead charged Ā£20. We donā€™t even know what the insurance is and donā€™t need insurance

Just tried 7/8 times to book online & was unable to do it. Kept rejecting my cards. I called for advice & after listening to a 2 minute 30 second automated voice message (which stresses how easy everything was to book online), I was told I could book over the phone but would have to pay an extra Ā£10 for the privilege. If it wasn't for the amount of research I'd done I would simply have booked with a different company. I appreciate whoever I spoke with on the phone was simply following procedure but i'm not sure trying to charge a potential customer an extra Ā£10 is really the answer when they are already frustrated. Still looking forward to my holiday but very frustrated with the difficulty in the booking process. Also the live chat was an absolute waste of time!!

Payment system a nightmare. Very stressful when you can't pay. No issues on my end. Had to pay for a more expensive booking as someone else took the last one I was on while trying to pay.

Stayed in surf village in platinum van. Unclean on arrival- blood over nets, crumbs over floor and dirty, cooker not clean and hob and something smeared over window on door. Top of freezer very dirty. Reported net with no response, apologies offered on leaving from reception when this was raised again. Signs state all vans are deep cleaned and this was clearly not the case for us. We have visited previously and all was ok but will not visit again. How can a company expect paying guests to leave tidy when they do not do the same. Very disappointed. Seagulls everywhere including accommodation waiting to take your food from you so no point having having a barbecue. Accommodation off the beaten track so donā€™t expect views in ā€˜surf villageā€™. Overall very disappointed and feel wasted hard earned money at such a difficult time for all, was really looking forward to our family break , ended up going home early ā˜¹ļøā˜¹ļø

Slightly disappointed wuth the Surf pod. The bed had been broken by the previous hoilday maker and report by them but was still broken when we went to bed. Reported it at 9.55pm and chased it up again at 10am (after the worst night slerp) and then had to chase it again at 4.30pm for it to finally be looked at. This took 25% of our hoilday away. Other then this issue the pool and hot tubs were great.

This company shows an information bar on its home page for ā€˜tourers and campersā€™. Went ahead and paid my deposit for a caravan with a plan to book other family members a pitch for their campers then discovered that the site did not have facilities for tourers and campers. I called to explain that tge home page was confusing and owing to my mistake could I get a refund as I had called within seconds of the booking. I was told by a young lady in a jolly sing song voice that I should have studied the web page more carefully and ā€˜tough luck reallyā€™ I wouldnā€™t be getting a good will refund. Poor show. These campsites will fill up without a problem owing to Covid/foreign travel. This company is plain greedy (and by the sound of the ladyā€™s voice, quite proud of it)

Nice enough place, good facilities. However, we received a complaint that apparently one of our mates had jumped on some chav's tent and therefore got ordered to take down our gazebo (which we had to previously pay 30 for). When we asked the warden about this he didn't really have an answer and failed to provide us with much feedback as to what we had actually done wrong. Poor management in my opinion especially when our friend accused is actually half blind and in fact only tripped over the chav's tent peg.

The booking process has been very difficult, the website not letting me save options or even get past checkout; when I phone I was told it must be a fault my end and she could not do anything about it but would charge me extra to book over the phone, so my husband had to start the whole process again. Then when he tried to log in to his account the next day it would not let him - so inconvenient

Wollacombe Bay- THEY DON'T REFUND MONEY. Unfortunately, we can't attend our family holiday at Woolacombe Bay due to an unforeseen family illness. As we can't leave Yorkshire, we can't go away. We have contacted the site to change our holiday dates to next spring but have been told a straight no. Not possible and no refund of the Ā£215.00 it costs us. They told us we should have taken out their insurance policy on checking out. It's very unfortunate that they can't see that welcoming someone back for another date in the future is beneficial to their business. We won't book with them again and will advise against friends and family going too. We were hoping that it being our only holiday in 5 years that we could tell the children we would be going in the spring next year. Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks= 0 stars.
