Serious amount of large potholes on the roads to the touring areas that should be filled. Pitch very unlevel and muddy. Not hard standing as advertised.
People were driving far too fast around the site but nothing done about it. Wouldn't feel safe letting children play out because of that.
A few pitches look to be seasonal but are a complete mess with a ripped up sofa and plastic sheeting next the caravans for example.
Static side of the site kept in a lovely condition, but the rest is a little neglected.
Otherwise a lovely site in a lovely location next to the beach. Food was very good. Shops

When booking online, the booking said hard standing however when we got there we were on grass. Even though we were at the top of a sloping field and we only had a couple of light showers, pitch was very muddy and un-level. We had to lower our jockey wheel as far as it would go and use two blocks of wood under each rear leg on the caravan to get it level, so it was right on our limit. Staff were friendly, shop was really well stocked with everything you could want, and take away food was really good and reasonably priced. There were a lot of people driving round the site way too fast, probably

Its an ideal holiday experience that ticks ALL the boxes for families and couples. There's activities that suits everyone from babies to the elderly. It has its own beach where you can walk ur dog during the day and then have a moon light romantic stroll when the sun is going down. The sunrise and sunsets are beautiful here. We love it !! Don't delay and book today.

Managed to book a pitch here at late notice for a very reasonable price. First time visit and very impressed with the atmosphere, staff friendliness and range of activities available. Our son really enjoyed his… 6th birthday weekend, made all the more special by the entertainers bringing him up on stage and presenting gifts, a truly memorable experience for him. We're planning our next trip next Spring already, thanks again Waldegraves for the good times 👌👌👌

Just had a last minute weekend here and throughly enjoyed. Lovely pool, crazy golf, good live entertainment, fun and games for the kids, 2 lovely meals ( one take away and one in the restaurant) nice size… pitches for our caravan and awning and right on our doorstep too. First visit for all our party but we will all be back especially as we missed Bonnie and Sammy this time because we got the times wrong both nights 😢. Thank you for having us.

Great holiday park, plenty for the kids (and adults) to do. The burger place could do with living their food a little more.... Veggie burger was vegan, however all burgers come plain. No salad, no sauces. Hence dry. You can add sauce sachets yourself but you need a lot and it's a faff. Shame, otherwise good!

This place is perfect year after year. I love this place. Get here first day, get tent set up, it's hard work, bangin fish and chips to reward myself. Good prices in the restaurant for an awesome size portion of fresh hand battered fish chips and salad. The pool is always well supervised. Play area is always happy and full of life, the kids love it. The campsite it's self is well laid out and maintained, the kids can have their independence about the campsite, which gives me sometime with the Mrs. It's nice to see all the kids playing together on the field. Beach is lovely, fishing lake has some

Me and my family stayed at this camp site for the weekend and we cannot sing it’s praises enough! 🙌 The pitch sizes were more than what you needed, very clean shower and toilet facilities, absolutely amazing entertainment for the children.. both on stage and on the grounds. Very friendly staff, especially the gentleman that checked us in on arrival. Thank you very much for an amazing weekend and we will, without a doubt, be returning and recommending this site to any camper 🏕

The Granery is situated in the Waldegraves Holiday and Camping Park (owners David and son Brett Lord) It has moved from being a cafe to what it is now, they also run a take away service for campers which is well used. My main comments is aimed at value for money, as it is extremely expensive and some times the food is not up to what one would expect for the price you are paying. That said when the regular chef is on site the food does improve significantly.
