Sandford Reviews

"Nice caravan, ok site ."

"The caravan we stayed in needed a bit of TLC - the table top was peeling back off the table. There were a few holes in the walls where the door had obviously been pushed back too far and the handle had gone through the wall. But it was comfortable, big enough for us. The only issue was ants coming in but that was rectified by the staff once we let them know."

"Caravan had everything you needed. The twin rooms much bigger than most caravans we've stayed in. Everywhere was nice and clean. 2 toilets was a bonus with teenagers. Took us a while to work heating, in the double bedroom was a dial which we didn't realise at first. Soon got warm then."

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

"Our Sandford review: Good overall, just wish the shower pressure was better."

"All great apart from water pressure in shower"

"The cottage was truly lovely, with a cosy log burner and a hot tub that made our stay really special. Hosts were so friendly too!"

"I stayed 15th to 18th November the caravan was warm and cosy despite the time of year and there was plenty to do for the children it was just a shame that everything cost extra money which proved to be costly. The restaurant seemed quite expensive for what it was but other than that we had a good time"

"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 wasnt 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 didnt ruin our holiday at all. Overall, a great experience!"

"Comfortable cosy caravan (chestnut way 5) with very good facilities, very well equipped kitchen, both showers always lovely and hot, heating very effective and quick to heat up. Wifi strength not great but we managed ok. Just one little issue there was a smell after letting water out or flushing loos etc that started part of the way through the week but it didn't spoil our holiday too much as was only ever for brief time each time."

"Really loved the tranquil vibe here and the jacuzzi was fantastic! Definitely returning soon."

"We really enjoyed it here, the grounds are beautiful and the dogs loved wandering around the fields."

"All good except the radiator in the bathroom doesn't work."

"We really enjoyed our stay at Goddard Mead. The cottage had everything we needed and perfect for walks right outside the door. The hosts were genuinely lovely, making us feel so welcome throughout. Lovely stay!"

"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 wed 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, its totally manageable. Wed stay again!"

"We really enjoyed our visit, the setting was beautiful and walking with the dogs was perfect."

"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 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 werent 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!"

"Really enjoyed our visit, the surroundings were lovely and having the dogs along made it perfect."

"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 absolutely loved the cosy cottage, especially the hot tub and log burner. Hosts were lovely, very welcoming. Can't wait to come back soon!"

"We had a lovely time at Goddards Mead again. The cottage really is perfect in every aspect. Can't wait to return!"

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

"Our recent holiday was quite enjoyable overall. I travelled with my granddaughter and she absolutely loved the pools and all the activities on offer. One evening, we went to the show and, when we came out, it was pitch dark. For some reason, we ended up wandering around the touring and camping site instead of heading to our static caravan. We must have walked around for nearly two hours in the dark, totally LOST. Luckily, a kind young lady spotted us and guided us back to the caravan. After that little adventure, we decided to use the car for getting around, which made things much easier. I do think a bit more signage from the camping area to the main site would help prevent others from getting so lost!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at this charming hideaway. The location is stunning and super private, perfect for escaping the hustle. The owners are lovely and always available if you need anything, but they respect your space. The hot tub was a great bonus after a long bike ride! Only thing to keep in mind is that its right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It didnt bother us much once we got used to it, but if you're sensitive to noise, its worth considering. Still, wed definitely recommend it!"

"We really enjoyed our stay at the lodge. Its super comfy and having that extra space made a big difference. The hot tub was definitely a highlight, such a treat! The only thing we found a bit frustrating was the lack of instructions for the appliances - it made using some stuff a bit tricky, especially if youre not very tech-savvy. Otherwise, it was a lovely break!"

"We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was charming and peaceful, perfect for escaping the busy city. The hot tub was a lovely bonus. Owners were super helpful without being intrusive. Just right!"

"We booked, explained about the disabled 80-year-old, but were still faced with three steep, rickety steps into the caravan. Very disappointing!"

"We had a really lovely stay at this good place. The location is stunning and super private, perfect for relaxing. The hosts were genuinely friendly and always ready to help if needed, without intruding on our space. The hot tub was a great bonus after a long day of cycling - such a treat! One thing to note is that the cottage is right under Stansteds flight path, so theres quite a bit of aircraft noise. It took us a couple of hours to get used to it, but it didnt ruin our trip at all. Would definitely recommend!"

"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"

"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."

"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."
