Date of stay: 8th September 2025

Overall our stay at Sandy Balls was a great one with us staying at one of the Caravans within Larch Row. The accommodation was a decent size for 3 adults and an infant and generally was a great stay (the caravan was tired in places but this is likely down to previous usage).The Sandy Balls site itself was excellent, with the Alpacas, Swimming Pool, Restaurants, Soft Play etc, all great additions and was really good to help keep our young daughter entertained.Reason for only 3/5 is down to an issue we had with our gas/hot water the day prior to our departure, we awoke to find that we had no hot water and the gas hob didn't work, speaking to an out of hours representative, they advised the wider park had issues but they'd do what they can, which true to his word arrived to take a look but couldn't solve the problem and advised someone would raise a ticket to fix this.We returned from our day out to find it still wasn't working, after ringing reception we was told someone was on there way over, but after 2 hours still not attendant and we needed to go get our daughter her dinner.On the day of departure we still had no hot water or gas meaning we had to leave with no shower etc which wasn't a great experience.If the above hadn't happened or we got the problem solved more timely, this would certainly be a 5/5 review, and we will still look to come in the future.

The accomodation needed a better clean. Too many cobwebs, toothpaste spashes in the bathrooms and bad smells of dog on the couch and under one bed.
