What is this place like?

Just grabbed a last minute holiday for 5 of us for £169 Mon-Friday next Week and am hoping it's a decent place to go!

Anybody been?

    Hi I appreciate your comments.

    This Holiday Park would be £469 just a week or so later on in the month for the same 4 days we are staying.

    We weren't even going to go away as hubby had booked a week off to sort childcare out with me, but he's decided he needs a break - so this is what I got last minute after much ringing around!

    I am pleased with the price, considering the price difference for the same accommodation and after all, we are only going for the Children.

    3 under 3's need entertaining - I am not stuck up but I did not like the report that Vermin where in the Caravans and mould :eek:

    The Woman on the phone did say that this is one of their best sites and if we have any problems contact reception and they will resolve them - so fingers crossed it's a good holiday!!

    cant speak about the park, but the area surrounding bideford is lovely, there are plenty of things to do, loads of countryside, u r going at the wrong time of year though, apparantly bideford is the best place to be in england on new years eve, so i have heard, anyway i like bideford, been there plenty of times, as my best mate lives in appledore, a nice quiet fishing village 5 minutes up the road, hth dave
    Take every day as it comes!!

    Bideford is lovely, the big sheep is well worth a day out if you have children.
    We stayed at the park several years ago when it was haven and liked it.
    Go with an open mind it'll be fine
    Always on the hunt for a bargain
