We arrived to a spotlessly clean caravan, with the beds already made up and communal areas tidy. The decking was a lovely addition, perfect for relaxing outside. However, the claim of sleeping 6 seemed a bit optimistic since the sofa bed was quite outdated and the mattress was way too thin - we had to add duvets for comfort. Overall, decent but a bit pricey for the space.

We stayed at the park recently and honestly, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The caravan wasn’t quite up to our usual standards, mainly because we’ve got a dog now and tend to prefer more space. Still, it was decent enough - plenty of room, with 3 bedrooms and 2 toilets, which was handy. Heating and a Freeview TV came as standard, so no complaints there. The park itself is massive, with direct access to the beach, which was lovely, even if the weather wasn’t perfect at first. We arrived around 3:30 pm and found our caravan wasn’t ready yet. We were asked to come back at 4, which was fine, but then the queue was quite long, as expected on arrival day. Honestly, after lots of stays at different parks and especially post-Covid, I’ve never seen anything quite like that. It felt a bit outdated, but at least our caravan was ready, unlike some others who had to wait outside. Inside, we noticed the toilet seat wasn’t attached, so I messaged customer service. They added it to a WhatsApp group and an engineer arrived within an hour to fix it. Really good service there. The kids were pretty bummed that Pop wasn’t on the Freeview guide and no matter how much we retuned the TV, it just wouldn’t pick it up. We managed to buy Wi-Fi for four devices, which worked okay, so they could still message and play games on their phones. The indoor pool was a real highlight - well managed, with a fantastic slide and the water temperature was perfect. Booking a slot was a bit different; you had to call or pop into reception, but it all ran smoothly and the pool was never overcrowded, which was nice. Gotta say, Covid probably helped keep it more controlled. There’s also a lively entertainment venue with a bar and live sports, plus an arcade inside. We grabbed a reasonably priced takeaway there too and the food was pretty tasty. The staff member on duty was very professional, especially when dealing with some unruly teenagers inside during our second visit. Overall, we had a good stay and the kids are already talking about returning. Well done to the team!

Overall, our stay was decent, but the toilet issues were a bit frustrating. The staff responded quickly and fixed it, though it didn’t hold long. Apart from that, we enjoyed our holiday. Would probably go back, but hope the plumbing’s sorted next time!

Really enjoyed our stay! The place is generally fantastic, though it’s a bit less spotless because it’s pet-friendly. The cleaning team do a brilliant job, so no complaints there at all.

We found this holiday park quite decent for what it costs. It’s pretty basic, with only a few facilities, so don’t expect to spend all day chilling onsite. The location is great for coastal walks, which we really enjoyed. Our caravan was modern, roomy and had everything we needed, though we did notice some of the other caravans looked a bit worn and grubby - probably the owners’ ones. Honestly, it’s perfect if you’re after a short break or a base to explore the area. It’s what it is and that’s fine by us!

We had a really lovely stay at the caravan site. The accommodation was way better than we thought, especially with our pet in tow - so much space and a super comfy bed. The site itself was great and the staff were really friendly. The arcade guy was a star, the kids adored him! Only thing was, some of the other children were a bit aggressive, which spoiled things a little and upset our son. Maybe parents should keep a closer eye on their kids. Still, overall, a fantastic break for us.

We really enjoyed our stay! The caravan was spotless and comfy, which made it feel like a home away from home. We loved exploring new spots nearby - the park was a perfect starting point for our adventures. Definitely recommend for a relaxing break.

The caravan was really lovely and the WiFi worked perfectly, which was a bonus. The only tiny issue was it sometimes felt a bit too warm in the bathroom. Overall, we enjoyed it!

We just had a lovely long weekend here and honestly, the staff at Dovercourt were fantastic - so friendly and welcoming, nothing was ever too much trouble. The site really caters well for families, especially those with little ones and the team are great with kids too. The local area isn’t exactly picturesque, being a bit industrial, but if you’re up for a short drive, there’s plenty to do nearby. We’re definitely planning to bring the grandchildren next time - we think they’d love it! Definitely recommend.

We really enjoyed our stay! The park was spotless and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The on-site shop was a bit disappointing, but the nearby supermarket made up for it easily. Great week overall!

We had a decent stay overall. The caravan was spotless, well looked after and came with useful extras like gas heating, which was handy. The site’s still in the middle of some upgrades, so there was some noise and traffic from the work-mainly road tarmac being laid-so it wasn’t completely peaceful. The main disappointment was the beach access being closed off; we thought that would be a highlight, but unfortunately, it was barriered. The club was fine, nothing special but adequate and there seemed to be plenty for kids to do, which was good. The chip shop is still being set up, so it’s not quite there yet, but it looks promising. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional, which we appreciated. If the beach access and ongoing work had been sorted, it would’ve been a perfect 10 out of 10!

Really enjoyed our stay, the park was lovely and the caravans felt spacious and comfortable too.
Emily Carter, London
We had a fantastic stay in this caravan; it really exceeded our expectations, especially since we brought our dog along. The space was perfect for our family and the bed was incredibly comfy-definitely one of our best holidays ever! The site itself was lovely and the staff were super friendly. The arcade manager was a star, the kids adored him. Only downside was some of the other children were a bit rough, which led to a nasty incident that upset our son. Maybe parents should be more vigilant. Still, overall, a great experience!

Great stay, would recommend

Our caravan was modern, spacious and had all we needed, though we did notice some older, slightly battered units around - probably owner caravans. Perfect for a short break or as a base to explore the area, it’s exactly what it says on the tin!

Just outside Harwich, a fascinating place with much naval history, and quant museums.

This was a new area for us but we were not disappointed , plenty of places to visit locally and within 20 miles by car. Caravan was immaculate and the site was pleasant enough. We did not use any of the facilities but would not hesitate to return to Dovercourt.

Not enough amusements as most did not work.should not be charged for golf as you make enough money from the lettings
