Huge shoutout to Gabrille for the fantastic job on cleaning our place before we got there. The house was spotless and we felt really comfortable staying in it. The only thing that bugged us was the tiny bedroom’s layout - the beds are narrow and the wardrobe’s position is a bit risky, I actually bumped my head on it! Luckily, it’s not the owner’s fault, just poor design from the manufacturer. Still, overall, really happy with everything!

We recently spent a few days at Marlie Holiday Park and honestly, we’d happily go back. The place itself is really charming and perfect for a family break. However, there are a couple of things that could definitely do with some improvement. First up, parking is a bit of a nightmare. It’s quite chaotic with cars parked all over Romney Hollow and some families seem to bring multiple vehicles - sometimes up to four or more! It’s not just inconvenient, it’s downright dangerous for the kids on their scooters, especially with all the puddles and cars lining both sides of the road. A proper system with designated spots, maybe with stickers showing caravan numbers, would make a huge difference. The overflow car parks near the shops or clubhouse should be used for extra cars, rather than everyone cramming into the main road. On the last day, dragging luggage through the crowds and navigating double parked cars was a pain.
The caravans are quite close together on Romney Hollow, with three rows on each side sharing a single road. That meant a lot of noise late into the night with people walking past, which isn’t ideal when you’ve got little ones trying to sleep. Still, we’re thinking about booking one of the platinum lodges next time - maybe on a quieter back road - as the park is small and everything is within easy walking distance, which we liked a lot.
The amenities were generally good. The pool was a real highlight - booking was straightforward and they limit bookings to one swim at a time, which keeps it fair for everyone. It was very clean and the inflatables were reasonably priced. The baby pool was perfect for our little ones; it was warm and the shallow depth meant they could splash about safely without us worrying too much. The clubhouse was modern and comfy, with a pizza oven, arcade and pool table. The food was pretty standard - similar to what you'd find at a Harvester - nothing special but decent enough. Unfortunately, breakfast on our last day was a bit of a let-down; it took ages to arrive and when it did, the eggs and bacon looked a bit undercooked and some of the food seemed a bit battered looking. By the time it finally arrived, we didn’t have time to send it back, which was a shame.
Entertainment-wise, the kids loved the nightly discos and meet-and-greets with the mascots. There was plenty for the adults too - bingo, live singers and magic shows during the day. The arts & crafts cabin was a real hit with the kids; they did sand art, pottery painting and even bear making - all very reasonably priced and perfect for a rainy day or just something to do on-site. The inflatable fun park on the last day was a big hit too!
Our caravan was a Gold and it was lovely - very modern, spotlessly clean and well-equipped with everything we needed: microwave, cooker, cutlery, you name it. The only downside was the location; it’s a bit close to other caravans, which meant a bit of noise at times. Still, for the price and comfort, it was great. Plus, Dymchurch Beach is just a short drive away - less than ten minutes - and it’s a gorgeous sandy spot with lots of amenities and easy parking.
All in all, we had a lovely weekend at Marlie. A few improvements, especially around parking and food service, would make it even better, but we definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend it for families looking for a fun, relaxed break!

We had Tina cleaning our place and she was genuinely lovely, did a really good job. The guy who checked the smoke alarms was friendly too. It’d be great if there were some side lights in the lounge and bedrooms for the evenings, though. Also, the TV remote needs replacing and there’s a flood near the front door that’ll need fixing. Overall, not bad!

We found the park to be nicely managed and the staff genuinely friendly and helpful. The caravan was cosy and well-stocked, which we appreciated. However, the loud club wasn’t really our scene and the drinks were a bit overpriced. Parking was a bit of a hassle, sadly.

We found the bar staff very focussed on their tasks but not particularly chatty. The reception people were helpful and welcoming. The park had the necessary facilities and provided good value for the money we paid for our break. The entertainment was Bingo and very little else however we did not go in peak season.
