Talacre Beach Resort

It's been a few years since we last went on a caravan holiday and our expectations were based on that baseline. Wow how things have changed in the last ten years. This site and facilities are as good as any I have ever experianced. 10 out of 10 for every element of the service and the weather was good too !

just been to stay at this park for a week, we had our 8 year old son with us and he loved it..The park is beautiful and well maintained in all area's.There are all sorts of activites for the kids and the entertainment at night is brilliant,the beach is a short stroll down the road or 5 mins in the car and parking there is free.. Our caravan was very impressive everything you need is just at hand and if you have a problem the staff are very helpful.The pool area sauna,jacuzzi and steam room are a must!! needless to say we have booked to go back to this site and i may just treat myself to one of there lodge's with a hot tub....

When we arrived at the caravan all appeared good, clean and tidy and this was to be expected as we had one of the most expensive models. On the Monday evening when cooking the extractor fan was not working properly and the smoke alarm was constantly blaring. This went on until we finished cooking and the shrill sound was more than an irritation. On further inspection we found that we had limited cooking utensils, few cutlery, no egg flip, broken tin opener, few glasses, one oven tray and no grill pan. This was reported the next morning when reception was open.Overnight one of the single beds which my son (17) was sleeping in broke but fortunately he was not injured. When unpacking in the bedroom it was noticed that a drawer was also broken. When using the dishwasher we discovered that it was not working.Other issues included a faulty toilet seat, a broken shower hose, a broken dinning chair and no towel rail in the master bedroom ensuite.The hot tub was prepared promptly and we were informed that it would be serviced every other day this did not happen throughout our stay.On our second day two maintenance staff came to repair the faults that we had reported the previous day and we updated them with the additional problems. They were able to fix the bed, toilet seat and shower hose and replaced the smoke alarm. Despite dismantling the extractor fan this could not be repaired without ordering a part neither could the dishwasher. For the full length of our stay we had no dishwasher or extractor fan. They eventually replaced the grill pan after explaining that these were not provided by the oven supplier.All the facilities on Tuesday were closed with the exception of the swimming pool. This pool was too shallow to safety allow adults to swim and the jacuzzi was out of order.In the games room there were a numbers of faulty machines and the pool table shown clearly on the website was non existent which was a disappointment to our family.The surrounding area of our caravan was filthy littered with cigarette buts, paper and even a poppy which must have been there for some considerable time.Talacre appeared to be near to a colony of seagulls which continually made noise all day and from early morning. They even attacked some of the residents on site.After paying for a ferry and choosing one of the most expensive caravans we were devastated by the standard of the caravan and the five star campsite that was advertised. We feel that the site and the accommodation was very run down and not remotely like advertised. Most of our holiday was a combination of frustration and annoyance and we would not recommend anyone to stay at Talacre.Please ensure that you forward a copy of our review to Hoseasons.

Lodge lovely. Very clean. Nice and spacious. Fenced secure garden. Hot tub was a lovely extra. The only downside was the neighbours dogs and unfortunately this lodge is the one right next door to it. The other lodges may not be as loud

For the money dated and wasn't very clean

Nice comfortable lodge , would benefit having a second shower in main bathroom, so all guests have use of one .

Very nice time chip shop lovely good value for money ????

Lovely place to spend your holiday wish we could have our own caravan there

The lodge was nice and comfortable but I wouldn’t exactly call it ‘premium’. The outside was covered in seagull poop and cobwebs and looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in a long time..The lodge lacked basic kitchen equipment, lack of utensils, no oven proof dishes, dishwasher wasn’t working. The main bathroom also hadn’t been cleaned properly, the bath was full of dead bugs. Phone/internet signal was awful too, I would’ve thought a “premium” lodge would of had Wifi.Also the is a sort of fenced off area right next to/adjoining the lodge that had dogs that bark none stop! It was constant barking the whole time we was there, morning, noon and night! We did really enjoy the hot tub and private garden and it was a great location.

Excellent caravan and holiday

Comfortable, spacious

Nice large caravan but only 3 cups no brush mop or bucket we had 2 dogs wee stains on carpet an nothing on site as we’re not told we would be on site 2 nothing on it only laundrette an phone box

We stayed in the Oakwood Premier lodge which was fairly well equipped in general, but was poorly maintained and hadn’t been well cleaned on arrival…. When we arrived there were no towels (despite being listed as included), the floors hadn’t been swept, the lounge furniture was covered in dog hair, the lodge smelt strongly of dogs and there was muck in the garden that hadn’t been cleaned up! We did complain but these weren’t satisfactorily resolved. In the main bathroom the sink tap handle was missing, there was no blind on the roller cartridge and the shower head holder wasn’t mounted properly and fell apart when touched so we didn’t use it!!! There were also no oven proof dishes in the kitchen. Whilst the lodge details don’t state wi-fi, it is a real surprise in this day and age to not have it in a PREMIER level accommodation.So whilst the park was nice enough, our actual stay was well below expectations and not good value for money at all. We’d even booked during a promotional period and we were still disappointed in terms of value for money- would sadly not recommend this accommodation…

Caravan clean and comfortable in a nice quiet location near to the beach brilliant for a relaxing dogbreak plenty todo nearby pubs x bakery

Beautiful lodge, first time staying in one & it felt like home, everything I needed was there, I couldn't even say anything was missing, it was a such a joy, I've booked the same lodge again for next year & I cannot wait, just beautiful ?? thankyou for having us!

What’s not to love about the hot tub, comfortable lounge area & really comfy beds! I got a really good deal price wise & we had a brilliant time. Staff checked the hot tub regularly & everywhere was really clean.

Very poor stay, most of the bulbs in side lights were missing, windows didn’t open. Leaking sinks, no lights outside when using hot tub. Cleaning was poor and locks on bathroom door were broke. It was a very expensive stay for what we got.

Great caravan just supply a cloth, scourer & little washing up liquid to get you started.

Everything very good especially the comfy beds. Could do with a more powerful shower head.

A great break, pleasant accommodation, good facilities and excellent price

Lack of basic kitchen equipment like frying pan or even a plug for the sink!

lovely caravan, very clean

Very clean and satisfactory but only 1 key/security pass as we not together thro full weekend

We were upgraded to a lodge as there was a problem with clover.

Love this lodge. Very spacious and equipped And near to facilities Has everything you need

Lodge was great, really spacious home away from home. Was too cold to use the jacuzzi but what can you expect in March.

Caravan was immaculate, lovely and clean, comfortable, modern, plenty of sockets, all facilities apart from towels. Thankyou to the cleaners who keep these vans spotless! I had a lovely stay.

The caravan was great, very spacious with ample storage space. The only issue for us were the twin beds. The springs were popping through the mattress on one, thankfully we didn’t need all of them.

Why have air con blowing out freezing cold on a winter weekend? Caravan floors need cleaning. Food and children's entertainment was good.

Great lodge , with all you need tea , coffee , towels iron , hairdryer . Good size frisge and freezer and a great oven . One draw back is that there is no internet connection . There was no WiFi in the lodge but if you know that then that’s ok .The hot tub was clean and hot and easy to access . The private garden was private considering how close each lodge is situated .

Claire, the maintenance person, was brilliant. She responded promptly and professionally to a query about the hot tub. Thank you.

A beautiful location with lots to do.

Absolutely brilliant holiday again... Lovely site and great facilities

My family love it here, beautiful park, beautiful location, beautiful beach. Very close by to surrounding places. The food and drink is quite over priced but all in all we had a fantastic time and will continue to stay here.
