A fantastic holiday park, loads for the kids to do even if it rains. We will be back next year.

Really enjoyed our stay! The hot tub was fantastic and the location was perfect for catching the sea views easily.

Good overall, just wish the shower pressure was better.

We stayed from 15th to 18th November and honestly, the caravan was surprisingly warm and comfy, even in late autumn. There was loads for the kids to do, which kept them happy. Only downside was everything seemed to come with an extra charge, which added up quickly. The restaurant was a bit pricey for what it was, but overall, we enjoyed ourselves!

We had a lovely stay at Chestnut Way 5. The caravan was super cosy and really comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen that made cooking easy. Both showers were consistently hot and refreshing and the heating system warmed the place up quickly and efficiently. Wifi wasn’t the strongest, but it was manageable. The only minor hiccup was a slight smell after using the loos or draining water, but it was brief and didn’t ruin our holiday at all. Overall, a great experience!

We’ve used similar vans before, but this one felt pretty tired. The kitchen drawers were stuck, the bathroom fittings were rusty and the curtains didn’t match. The grill shelf was missing and the tin opener was useless. Not quite what we expected, honestly.

Decent overall, just wish the bathroom radiator was working properly.

The lodge was decent value, but a bit far from entertainment options for those with mobility issues.

Very user-friendly site, loads of info and booking was straightforward too.

We stayed at Bulbury for a short getaway and found it quite charming despite its size. The trailer was a bit musty at first, probably because all the windows were shut tight, but airing it out sorted that. It was spotless and the beds had fresh linen, which was lovely. We did have a couple of minor issues- the door hinges squeaked so loudly we thought we’d wake the kids if we had to use the loo at night. Luckily, reception sorted it out the same day. Also, the curtain rail fell down, but again, that was fixed quickly. The kitchen was pretty basic, but as long as you read the site and pack what you need, it’s totally manageable. We’d stay again!

We stayed in a pretty modern caravan that felt quite spacious inside, which was nice. The main bedroom with the en-suite was a good size and the second smaller room with two beds was perfect for the kids. The main bathroom had a decent shower and the sofa in the lounge cleverly turned into a double bed-definitely handy. That said, the sofa had cigarette burns in a few spots, which was a bit disappointing. Also, it was clear the cleaning staff didn't put much effort into tidying up corners-there were hairs and dust left behind quite often. WiFi was decent, but with everyone on site trying to use it, streaming Netflix or booking tickets became a bit of a nightmare. Still, overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We recently stayed here as a group of 12, split between the Corfe and Durlston caravans. Honestly, the Corfe being the newer one, I expected a bit more-like two bathrooms and a larger veranda similar to Durlston. The outdoor furniture was quite disappointing too; just mismatched pieces that looked like they were pulled from a spare cupboard. If you’re planning to work remotely from the caravan, forget it, as the indoor signal was practically non-existent. That said, inside the caravans, everything was clean and really cosy and despite the remote location, we’d definitely come back again!

We stayed at the lodge recently and honestly, there were a few issues. The bikini from the last guests was still hanging in the en suite, plus food was under the dining table and empty cans by the hot tub. Not ideal!

We stayed in a pretty tidy caravan, which was quite presentable overall. The furniture was simple but did the job. The veranda wasn’t secured for dogs, which caught us off guard, but we sorted it ourselves with some help from a local DIY shop. Just a heads up for future visitors - securing verandas for dog-friendly vans would be a good idea.

The lodge was spacious and comfortable, really loved the vibe! Just wished they provided some basic cleaning supplies.

Overall, the caravan suited our needs pretty well. The kitchen was nice with a decent fridge and freezer, which was handy. We did find it a bit dusty under the settee when we moved things around and there was a bag with someone else’s stuff that should’ve been cleaned out. We ended up leaving it behind. The place was quite dirty initially and we had to give it a good clean, especially with a two-year-old, as cleanliness matters. Despite that, we’d probably rent again - just hope for a cleaner next time!

Great stay, everything we needed was there, very comfortable!

We had such a lovely stay! Wimborne Lodge was spot on-super clean and really well stocked with everything we needed. The hot tubs were checked regularly, which was reassuring and when we had a tiny leak from the heated towel rail, it was sorted out straight away-really impressed with the quick service. The beds weren’t the comfiest, but honestly, they did the job for a holiday. The location was perfect; close enough to the main entertainment, arcade and restaurant for our little one to walk, but far enough to enjoy some peace and quiet without loud music blaring. All in all, a cracking break!

We recently stayed in this caravan and honestly, it was perfect for our family. Plenty of space for six, well-equipped kitchen and the kids loved having their own bedrooms. Definitely recommend for a comfy holiday!

We love the spot and the park’s lovely, that’s why we keep coming back. But honestly, considering what we paid, it didn’t feel like good value for money this time around.

The lodge was spacious and the beds comfy, which was a plus. Sadly, the hot tub and heating weren’t working and the floor was quite dirty. We’d have enjoyed it more if everything had been up to scratch, really. Such a shame!

The caravan was lovely and had everything we needed. Just a heads-up, the oven heats up slowly, so plan ahead to avoid delays. Overall, quite happy!

We stayed at the site recently and honestly, the outside was alright but the caravan itself left a lot to be desired. We get it’s dog-friendly, but our caravan was pretty dirty, with furniture needing a proper clean and a strong smell everywhere. The shower was a nightmare too - it didn’t drain and after fixing it, it leaked underneath instead of inside! We reported it in the evening, but it wasn’t sorted until the next day. Not great overall.

The park was lovely and the staff really made us feel welcome. The lodge, though, could’ve been cleaner - greasy kitchen areas and grubby sofas. The mattress needs replacing too. Still, we enjoyed it!

Honestly, we were pretty disappointed. The toilet doors didn’t lock and the bedroom door had a punch hole. No bedding for the sofa bed either. We complained multiple times but got no response. Reception was unhelpful and rude throughout our stay. Not great.
Denise
Stayed for a weekend with my girls. Accommodation was clean through out, beds comfy, but could of done with a thinner quilt. Location perfect for beaches and Corfe. Will certainly be back
Shannon
We had a lovely time! The only reason it’s a 9 not a 10 is because you’re limited to time in the pool. We had planned for a pool day as if abroad and we got an hour. Otherwise the facilities and park were lovely.
Stephen
Great site plenty to do in and around the area. Lovely Lodge and a well kept clean site. ?

Had a great time at Sandford Holiday Park. We were there during the heat wave, so the outdoor pool was much needed and used! It is a lovely site, situated amongst trees and pines. Nice walks up through the woods and back even on the hottest days. The nearest beach was about a 10 minute drive away at Hamworthy, but it is worth it when you get there. A very quiet stretch of beach with just a few paddle-boarders in the water. Actually went for a swim in the sea (first time in about 30 years!). We had a really lovely holiday and I would give the site 10 out of 10.

The Staff made this holiday for us they were so friendly and helpful and nothing was too much for them they went up and beyond to help.Even to the staff on the ticket shop who was so nice to the children when they cashed the weeks tickets and asked them what colours they wanted.Every night the security staff would ask if we were o.k and chatted as we went into the show bar.When the children did activities they were encouraged which brought out the best in them.So can I thank all the staff at Sandford for a very happy and relaxing holiday.We certainly will come back.
