    This place doesnt look like "Happy Holidays" at all, I'd rather go under canvas after reading the reviews, think I'll give this one a miss

    We went there a couple of years ago and it was a bit run down but we still had a great time.

    After reading the reviews, the place is still very dirty as of yesterday. Cannot believe poo was discretely hidden underneath a chair in the bedroom and fleas in the beds! OMG! and Pontins are charging US for this? No thank you!

    i've just rang to cancel the brean sands one i booked this morning and have booked my usual getaway venue with my sister's Sun priority code instead. i really do not want to risk my 2yr with those bad reviews, the site i posted the link to above had some of the better reviews i've seen. just google 'pontins brean sands reviews', they're all pretty bad really :(

    Thanks OP, just booked up for 3 nights in Brean in July. Roll on the crab catching, and the horse riding on the beach, can't wait!

    Just to be sure, do they supply the actual quilts in budget accommodation?
    Not sure if the link will work, but I don't think you'll want to use their quilts after seeing this

    Well looking at the photo's it's definitely gone down since we were last there, it was run down but nothing like in these photos.

    I actually thought Pontins went into administration last year??

    Personally I wouldn't go again for free, it was filthy and freezing.

    If you can sleep on that sofa-bed good luck, as a lifelong camper and backpacker I'm not fussy, but I couldn't sleep on it.
