The property is in a great location. Oakdene is close to the areas we love to visit and the caravan is situated in a quiet area of the park.
I have booked this property many times in the past, unfortunately this time it seemed like it hadn’t been cleaned at all. there was a false nail on the bedside table along with coffee cup stains, long black hairs on the pillow and the dining table. crisps on the bedroom carpet too. there were only 2 bowls which made it difficult for a family of 4 come breakfast time. I went to use the washing machine, it would not work and there were clothes already in there from the previous visitor. there was also a blood stain on the bedsheet of one of the single beds. The bin handle was dirty also.

It was nice spacious and felt like home.
It was clean but could have been better especially the outdoor area was not clean at all. We could not sit outside that’s how dirty it was. Very disappointed about the cleanliness.

Unfortunately the property was not as described.
The photographs on booking.com were clearly taken a long time ago.
We were dissapointed when we stepped onto the balcony decking which was unstable and filthy.
We had been looking forward to using the decking but it was not useable.
The outside sofa and glass coffee table had been dumped round the back of the accommodation which left only four cushioned chairs.
The fold away chairs were covered in green mold so were unusable.
There was a broken outside light on the chair and the catch on the gate was hanging off and the decking was filthy.
We were asked to remove our shoes before entering the property in the instructions from the owner to find poorly fitted doorbars with sharp edges which we placed a towel over to protect our feet..
The freezer door as you entered looked like it had been sliced all over.
There was an awful smell in the accomodtion which would not go.
The edging on the TV cabinet was peeling away leaving sharp edges.
The back of the TV remote was missing.
The sofas were heavily stained, torn and the springs were poking you when seated.
The vinyl floor covering was split and the shower was too hot to use and we could not adjust it.
Basically the accommodation had been neglected inside and out and was in a state of disrepair.
The gas safety certificate in the boiler cupboard was over two years old which was concerning.
On arrival we checked to see if there was alternative accommodation onsite but as its peak season we found oakdene and the surrounding area full so had to make the best of it.
The owner came round the following morning to introduce himself at which point I questioned if it was the same accommodation as advertised.
He said it was the only three bed he had onsite, I said it was an old photo then.
Very dissapointed, I was only able to put four photos on,I hope the owner will fix it up for future guests, but we won't be returning.

The location was excellent, close to beaches, shops and tourist activities.

The property is based on a great site with good facilities. Bed linen was nice and fresh,& a nice little touch was a bottle of Prosecco on arrival
There was an unpleasant smell that just didn’t go even with the windows open. Couple of jumpy bugs in the bedrooms & even after owners had come to adjust heat of shower it was still too hot to shower in properly.

Loved the gesture of bottle of wine on arrival.
Just a really minor issue with the ensuite toilet but we still had a 2nd toilet working and the host responded to our concern straight away and sorted it out.

Decent size and has everything you need for a short stay.
Front door didn’t close properly so there was constant draft. Also found it difficult to adjust the temperature on the shower but managed to do it on the last morning.

4.0
it was nice and spacious with all the amenities we needed.
So pleased it had a fire and heating because it was freezing. Thankfully we brought extra blankets. We slept fully clothed as it was so cold. we were travelling down south for my dads funeral, so would have been nice for it to have been more comfortable. The front door doesn’t close properly and there is a huge gap so it lets in the cold. I also fell over in the morning on the deck because the front door mat outside has no grip and slid forward so I fell backwards into the caravan.
4.0
The shower controls are broken and boiling water only in the shared bathroom. Very dangerous and couldn’t shower the young one.
4.0
very pleasant and well equiped
the tree / foliage at the far end needs trimming back as it rubbed against the property making noises at night.
4.0
The location was good and the main bedroom with ensuite was very comfortable.
The carpet and hard floors were filthy, we had to clean our feet on the way out! The saucepans and cutlery and inside the cupboards and drawers were dirty too, there were bits of food on pans and dirt in cupboards.
The second bedroom is very small which you might expect from a caravan but it's not reflected in the price.
