Haggerston Castle Holiday Park, Northumberland, England - Haggerston Castle - 5 Star Dump

Posted by admin in Holiday Reviews


We just returned today from a four night stay with the view of purchasing a caravan and pitch at Haggerston Castle , it was a truly dreadful experience. The caravan we were given was a standard plus rating, we took along our two Yorkie dogs, apparantly you can’t have anything of a higher rating if you do take your doggy with you. Fair enough,maybe some dog owners don’t treat their holiday accomodation with very much respect , but we do and found …

Thorness Bay Holiday Park, Isle Of Wight, England - Don`t do it !!

Posted by admin in Holiday Reviews


Have just returned from a hellish 4 night break to Thorness Bay. When we arrived we were told(in a somewhat rude manner!) that we had to wait until 4pm to check in - this was ridiculous as all our keys were in boxes in “The Showbar” - but we had to wait like children until dead on 4pm - and then all hell broke out while people were pushing and shoving for their keys. We opted for a Gold caravan which was fine, but really freezing even with every …

Festival Village Apartments, Salou, Spain - Butlins in the Sun !

Posted by admin in Holiday Reviews


Do you like Butlins ? If so, you will probably like this hotel. Easy as that. Basic accommodation, acceptable food and plenty of entertainment.

OK, a bit more detail… We booked an off peak holiday during October into a half empty hotel, so please bear this in mind if you are thinking of going during the peak summer months.

We arrived at 11.00 and got checked straight into our rooms. We knew about the deposit, so no problems there. We had …

Tossa Beach Hotel, Tossa De Mar, Spain - Good hotel.

Posted by admin in Holiday Reviews


This is in my opinion a good quality hotel, especially considering the low cost.

It is kept extremely clean and tidy, especially given that this was the season’s last week, and hotels can start to look tired. The hotel is in two parts, Tossa Beach and Tossa Central.

Food is a bit repetitive and not too exciting, but perfectly edible and served in clean surroundings. Pretty much what I’d expect from previous experiences of all-inclusive or …

Vasia Beach Hotel & Apartments, Sissi, Crete - Vasia Spa Hotel Sissi

Posted by admin in Holiday Reviews


The hotel was fantastic, so clean. There was a fruit bowl, slippers, toilitres etc our room had two bathrooms, two bedrooms and a lounge, a rooftop terrance that no one knows is there, with its own sunbeds, tables etc. All the staff were helpful and friendly, especially Michael, Yogi and Dimitri. The entertanment was the biggest let down as it was nearly end of season, was something on each night, football in the afternoons which my daughter d…

Dream Paradise Hotel, Side, Turkey - Paradise ! or Misery.

Posted by admin in Holiday Reviews


Good points - Convenient position 10 minutes walk to beach and shuttle bus available.

Bad Points - Didn’t get twin room as booked. Food was awful - cold food very warm (including mayonnaise salads). Needed to queue up before start of each meal session and rush in to load up your plate as a few minutes later everything was gone - only cold cooked vegetables and bones left.
Pool was nice but often the poolside was often flooded and the hotel s…
