Wansbeck View 2

The caravan is on one of the best plots on the site, it has lovely views and only a 2 minute walk to an absolutely fabulous large dog friendly beach.

The pictures of the van on the website are more or less accurate but some of the the outside furniture is in need of replacing, one of the recliners is broken and unusable. The fridge makes an anoying beeping noise as though it drops below the required temperature which ought to be looked at. The kitchen is lovely but needs some good kitchen knives (I had to buy some) and better oven trays. We like to cook on holiday but for anyone who doesn't that won't be an issue. I would definately go back to this van, overall it's lovely, we were comfortable and enjoyed our holiday (infact we didn't want to go home).

Fantastic view great location caravan well equipped but could do with more tumbler glasses only one available.

Sofas could do with a vacuum under cushions and underneath otherwise everything else was good. Large TV which was great for watching world Cup. Took me a while to figure out where the WiFi code was had to take battery cover off receiver to find it. Water would not stay in the bathroom sink while shaving.

Stayed for 4 nights with my husband 15 year old son , his friend and our jack Russell.

Caravan was very clean, beds very comfortable, great large screen TV with everything you need. Fantastic relaxing few days beautiful views and lovely site. Highly recommend and will definitely be back

Caravan had everything we needed for a family break, 6 adults and our Cavapoo.

Excellent location for the beach and the views were amazing. Just a short walk to other facilities. Seating and beds very comfortable unlike a lot of caravans we have stayed and having two bathrooms was a bonus. Decking was great for our dog to chill out on and such a quiet location. Highly recommended.

The caravan is lovely and cosy with everything we needed for our weeks stay.

Apart from the slightly grubby carpet (no problem really as its a dog caravan). The view from the fabulous wrap around veranda was amazing and lovely to see the sun rising, setting and the moon and the clear sky were beautiful for star gazing. Great situation right near the beach (a short walk away), and near to drive up and down the beautiful Northumberland coast with its many lovely villages. The TV did not work at all (ariel issues) until we paid £6 per day for Parkdene wifi and we streamed our own channels. We had to buy an entertainment pass too, £10.80 so I could use the pool. These extras would have been good to know before we arrived. There was no mop, I bought one and left it there as the decking gets wet overnight and when it rains. All in all a great caravan and a lovely week with our 2 dogs.

Lovely caravan with everything we needed for our stay.

Wrap around veranda was great for the dogs. The caravan location looking out to the dunes/river/sea was amazing. Considering it’s a pet friendly, the caravan was in very good condition. ( the living room carpet does have stains but we weren’t too bothered about that).

The caravan was as expected, Unfortunately the television did not work so we reported it to the reception but they informed us that as it was a private caravan we needed to inform Sykes.

They did however send a technician who came and eventually diagnosed a fault with the aerial connections. The TV never did work all week.The Caravan was very clean except for the carpet which was filthy. There were no general instructions provided which was disappointing. A mixed experience !

We loved our stay at your cabin, I will miss the beautiful views.

The park is great for families and is set right on the beach which our cocker spaniel loved. The cabin had everything we needed and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you

Lovely cozy caravan with beautiful views.

A location plan of the caravan site would have been really helpful, it's a big area and though we tried to find the caravan, we had to ask Security for help in the end.

Though the caravan was comfortable, we could see areas that needed looking at for example a new door mat; a mat or similar at the patio door would help to protect the carpet when stepping in to the living area from outside; there were already marks on the carpet in the living area; we found an opened pot of garlic dip stuck between the settee cushions plus cornflake crumbs and dirt/dog hairs at the side of the fridge/freezer. The owner may not be aware of these cleanliness issues and that's why we feel it needs feeding back. Despite this, we did appreciate the bottle of wine on arrival, the views over the estuary/sea were lovely, having two toilets was an advantage and all the staff on the site but particularly Claire in Reception, couldn't have been more helpful. The location of the caravan to the rear of the site was ideal because it is not overlooked on the decking. All in all we did have a lovely time.

Property listed as "accessible" but, whilst the property was in itself perfectly fine, the access was not and I feel the listing was very misleading.

There is no direct vehicle access to this property and the nearest parking, if you can manage to park there, is some 50 metres away across predominently uneven grass. Totally unsuitable for wheelchairs so don't be mislead. This Holiday Park is poorly designed and does not cater adequetly for disabled users and the provision of direct vehicle access and hard standing next to every accomodation is essential.

I booked this getaway at short notice to take my father-in-law on a respite break.

I was delighted with the property location, offering stunning views of the coastline and allowing me to walk my dogs on the near deserted beach. I would certainly return!

all issues should been checked or rectified before we arrived and so the property not being properly cleaned or maintained- this has had huge impact on our stay and we try to be out as much as possible due to the uncleanliness & irritating drone of noise from fridge - i am requesting a full refund as i have reported to you every day each time issue been found & we have wasted so much time contacting you or parkdean & vicky along with discomfort being in such dirty property it has ruined our time away from home which we paid good money for - this property should not be allowed to let on such poor standard the most basic need of any accommodation is it being clean & this is filthy along with inconvenience of not being able to properly control oven cook meals, having no heating or hot water or being able cook for hours, dog bags poo being left outside it’s disgusting-

Super location - well situated for exploring the area.

The views and proximity to the beach were excellent. All very comfortable, clean and tidy.

Amazing stay.

Caravan emaculate, definitely would come again and recommend. Beach lovely. Good facilities. Friendly staff and lovely people.we and our dog thoroughly enjoyed our time

Great position with nice views of the estuary and beach.

Caravan was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well equipped.

We had a very quiet and relaxing holiday .

.

The location was perfect.

We had a lovely week walking the dogs on the beech and sitting on the veranda just admiring the view and bird watching. We were very comfortable. We were surprised that there was no dishwasher. Thats why you score 3 in cleanliness. Following Covid I guess we are all on our guard with this sort of thing. The kitchen utensils were minimal but we made do. Some kitchen tongs and another non stick pan would be welcome. Unfortunately , the one time we needed the laundrette it was out of order but we found one in Blyth. All that aside me and my family had a wonderful week and feel very revived by the beautiful Northumberland coast. Thankyou. Debra

Lovely caravan in a lovely situation.

Very comfortable Great for dogs and children Great access for walks and the beach All round great find Just needed a bit more info to actually find it initially.

The caravan is lovely, the setting is wonderful, the views fantastic.

Unfortunately we had a few problems. We arrived on the 12th Nov, on visiting the Park Dean office the following day, we discovered the site was closing down on the 13th until March next year. So most of the facilities we believed to be included in the price had now been taken away from us. No swimming pool, no restaurant, no shop. We consider this misrepresentation. Also, maintenance work was taking place on the site, particularly on the caravan pitch next to ours. Noisy machines at 8.30am. tractors parked at the front of the caravan, blocking the view. On one occasion the road to the caravan was completly blocked by a cement mixer. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. Monday we had been out all day, returning at 4pm. The heating was on, everything was fine. But by 6pm we noticed it was getting cold. The boiler was out. By process of elimination we discovered BOTH gas bottles were empty. The only contact number we had was Sykes Office in Chester, which obviously was closed by now. We did not have a contact number for the owner or the ParkDean Office, which was also closed. What do we do? We thought of a hotel for the night, but we had a dog with us, not many hotels take dogs. So we hunkered down and made the best of it with extra clothes and duvets. BUT IT WAS COLD! Early the following morning we found, close by, a Premier Inn which had a Cookhouse Restaurant attached to it. The Restaurant accepted dogs, although Premier Inn didn't. But we were able to get warm and enjoy a full breakfast. Whilst spending hours on the phone to Sykes. It became apparent that Skyes were unable to contact the owner. We drove back to the caravan with the intention of packing up and going home. But, we called in at the Park Dean Office to see what they could do. They refused my offer of money for a gas bottle, said they would install one straight away but would contact the owner. By the time I arrived back at the caravan, the owner was on the phone, asking if everything had been sorted out. I explained it was in the process but did ask why BOTH gas bottles were empty. She saId it was a breakdown in communication and offered me compensation. This has not been forthcoming. But why hadn't Sykes been able to contact her previously? We stayed and contined to have a wonderful holiday, but all the above was really unnecessary and could have been sorted out in minutes if not hours. Conclusion Sykes have serious communication promlems and are unable to quickly resolve a problem. Park Dean were wonderful and couldn't have done better.

top marks for cleanliness throughout the van and comfort of bed and sofas.

The views from inside the van and from the deck are just awesome: up the estuary and seaward to Blyth. The ramp into van (instead of steps) was also appreciated as I have some mobility issues. Double bedroom space however was rather challenging for me though can clearly see the limited space on website photos so should have expected it. Didnt need the heating on much as the van gets sun most of the day so was lovely and cosy.... our cat Lulu laid there on the ottoman and soaked it up! Ideal plot on very nice site, easy access to walk the beach and for takeaways nearby. hope to be able to return. Many thanks to owner and Sykes for a great stay.

We are just back from 5 days here.

We loved it. the accommodation was immaculate. it had everything. we took cleaning products but already there. perfect location right on the beach. our bulldog loved it and so many walks. night skies were amazing. Wi-Fi was ok, not the best but did us as only 3mbs. Thankyou to the owners as we will def book again and had everything we could want. even a torch. heating was good also and the shower well we didn't want to get out. Thankyou again.

Stunning view.

Large decking ideal for young children to play as has a gate! Very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend. Gabriella Jones

Lovely Caravan in a great location on the park.

The caravan was well equipped with everything we needed and the owner was very helpful with any questions we had.

Brilliant caravan, located in a lovely quiet spot on site, overlooking the estuary and fantastic views out to sea.

The large secure decking is great for kids young and old to relax safely. The bedrooms are a little small but this didn’t impact our enjoyment. There is an entertainment programme on site but we only took advantage of the pool and restaurant, the pool was lovely but you have to book your sessions. The Restaurant served good ‘pub’ standard food. Would recommend this accommodation.

Overall, a lovely caravan in a great location.

We had a good view of the coast. What was needed was a map of the site as we struggled to find our caravan. Emailing a map out would have been good. We did need to rewash the cups as they were stained and one was cracked. It would have been good to have had dish cloths and some sort of vacuum cleaner- even just a push one for the carpet as the brush was unsuccessful.

Great accomodatjon in a brilliant location.

Lots of facilities and a beach closeby.

Lovely accomodation in perfect setting, amazing views and minutes from wonderful dog friendly beach.

Lodge is very comfortable with good cooking facilites and wi fi was perfect throughout. Highly recommended.

Had a great long weekend.

The caravan was lovely, great position in quiet bit of the park. Weather was great so made the most of the decking and the views. Welcome gifts were a nice surprise and we all had a fantastic break.

Fantastic break.

Accommodation as advertised and lovely host. Positioned in a quiet part of the site with unobstructed views of the sand dunes and sea.
