Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Par Sands Coastal Holiday Park is praised for its clean and quiet environment, with modern caravans that many find lovely. The park's location is superb, often described as a short walk to the beach, and convenient for visiting surrounding attractions like the Eden Project. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchens, sometimes featuring extras like washing machines and dishwashers, though the pool is considered small by some. For those seeking a peaceful retreat without on-site amusements, this park, with facilities like tennis courts and mini-golf, is frequently recommended.

Immaculate and peaceful stay!

friendly staff clean caravan well-kept gardens convenient location

I found the staff very friendly and helpful. The caravan was clean. The site itself was well laid out and the gardens were beautifully maintained. I appreciated the convenience of the location for coastal walks and visiting nearby attractions. It was a relaxing experience.

The caravan felt a little close to others, reducing privacy SO slightly.

dusty unit insect stain

the caravan was not as clean as I expected , dust was visible on top of units , especially in the bathrooms. the curtain blinds also had some insect stains. I missed having a hoover to clean , especially after beach visits. the oven only having one rack made cooking for multiple people difficult.

Fantastic Holiday Stay!

dog shower convenient location family-friendly atmosphere comfortable stay

This location offers a dog shower. This helped keep our furry friend clean after beach trips. I loved that there were two pubs within walking distance, and a Co-op was only five minutes away (so convenient!). The site also featured a swimming pool and a play area, I felt that added to the overall family-friendly atmosphere. The accommodation was clean. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

The caravan's proximity to others meant there was limited privacy. I noticed how closely packed the accommodations were.

adequate but flawed stay

sofa stains hidden rubbish

the location was good.

I found the caravan cleanliness subpar. stains marked the sofa, and rubbish lay hidden beneath the beds. furthermore, the description stated it could sleep eight, yet the sofa bed barely fit one person. My partner and i had to share it. this hotel is not adequately equipped for the price.

spacious caravan functional facilities comfortable stay good location

I found the static home very nice. The staff clearly look after the hotel well. All the facilities were clean and functional. The hotel provided everything needed for a comfortable stay. The location was good (I could easily visit everything I wanted).

The barrier did not always work. I kept having to buzz someone to enter the park.
