"Our Riverside Holiday Park review: Fabulous lovely lodge spotlessly clean lovey hot tub every thing you need the television like being in cinema loved it will be back"
"The caravan was super clean and really comfy. We left feeling very happy with our stay, definitely recommend!"
"Really enjoyed our stay! The park was charming, the caravan spotless and facilities spot-on."
"Great stay, will come back again"
"Really cosy and comfy, felt just like being at home."
"We stayed at the park recently and honestly, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The caravan had quite a few issues that werent all sorted out during our stay. For starters, there was no welcome pack or clear instructions for the central heating, which was turned off and a bit confusing. The kitchen supplies were pretty limited at first, though they did bring more utensils later. The bathroom basin had a big crack in it, which wasnt fixed and the towel rail kept falling off, even after we reported it. The smoke alarm cover was hanging off and on our last day, we noticed it had no batteries - I also mentioned this along with the remote control batteries, but nothing was done about either. Getting onto the park was a pain because our car registration wasnt recognised, so we had to use a code. We did have a couple of meals at the restaurant; the chicken was alright but the sticky toffee puddings, which cost nearly £7 with custard, tasted terrible, so we got a full refund. Definitely wouldnt come back here."
"Great service, staff made us feel welcome."
"We had a lovely stay at Riverside Holiday Park, especially with our little one. Its really child-friendly and the splash park was a hit. The free kids' meal with every adult meal was such a great deal and the food was good value. Only downside was the beds-pretty thin and not the most comfy. Otherwise, everything was spot on!"
"We chose the hive on 7/10 because the steps looked a bit unsafe, especially with that loose handrail. Also, no gate on the veranda meant we had to keep our dogs on leads with doors open, which was a bit of a pain."
"Absolutely loved it! The caravan was spotless, looked brand new and we couldnt find a fault."
"Great experience, would recommend it!"
"We really enjoyed our stay, definitely coming back soon!"
"Great for families, plenty of activities for the little ones."
"Really enjoyed the trip, would definitely go again!"
"We didn't actually dine there, but everything else was spot on! We're really happy with the service and will be booking again soon. Definitely recommending to friends and family!"

"We were pleasantly surprised by our stay! The caravan was well equipped and clean, which really made a difference. The heating worked well and having extra heating in the bedrooms was super welcome in October. It was also lovely to bring our small terrier along with us. Plus, there was a great area for dog walking too!"
"We had a lovely time in the caravan! It was really nice and we would definitely choose to stay in this type of caravan again. Perfect for a getaway!"
"We really enjoyed our stay here! The location is just fantastic and the service was excellent. The staff were so friendly and made us feel really welcome. Our room was clean and cozy, with everything we needed for a comfortable night. We loved the little touches that made it special. Overall, a great experience and we cant wait to come back!"
"We really enjoyed our stay at Riverside with such peaceful surroundings! We would definitely love to stay there again."

Our caravan was lovely and clean and had all the essential utensils we needed.
So much to do in area we went to hesketh park and enjoyed folks in the park. Ainsde beach is 13 mins away. Went to Vue to cinema and it’s 4.99 for a movie which is cheap if your having to buy for a big family. We definitely go back ??"
"loved the 3 bedroom van, it was very new, well equipped and clean. Our grandchildren liked the pool and football area. The food in the pub was excellent.
It was a good base for visiting southport.
I would use it again and recommend it to friends."
