Beachside Holiday Park - Hayle
review by: Jo Lavelle
21st July 2007
I have just returned from a weeks break at the beachside and I wish I had read an honest factual review like the one I will leave, I would have thought twice about going.
I booked to stay in a bungalow, it was £320 for hte week, we arrived at the park at 10.30 and as we knew our bungalow number we drove up to have a look and the cleaner was in it, we went to reception to see if we could book in earlier then 4pm and was told to phone around half two and they would let us know. Eventually we got the keys at 3.30pm.We went in and was rather dissappointed, the furniture was very shabby, there was a musty smell, water on both the kitchen and bathroom floors, it hadnt been hoovered, and overall was a bit dirty, I felt a bit let down, we went to reception and explained and being fair to them they upgraded us to a luxury lodge which was £100 dearer for the week.
It was a long way from being luxury, there was still a very musty smell and i still had to hoover, the freezer was dirty so was the cutlery drawer tray, i have a three year old so I had to hoover and clean before i would let him in!
The electric is by a card meter £1.20 each we bough 5 in a week, the site shop is open from 8.30am untill 4pm which isnt greatly convenient, the bar opens at 7.30pm, the pool is warm.
The beach is excellent, but is is a steep walk back to the site.
I wont return to the beachside, i think for the money there is better facilities and accomodation available elsewhere.

We have just returned from a week at Beachside. We go to Cornwall a few times a year so feel I can comment quite confidently on this park as we have experience of all different parks in Cornwall.
Firstly, the beach. The beach is stunning. The beach goes on for miles and the sand is soft and gorgeous. The sea is crystal clear. In fact, this has got to be the most stunning beach I have seen so far in Cornwall. It has life guards which is very reassuring when you have little ones.
The beach is very close to the site but be warned, to get there it is ALL downhill, but to get back it is one of the steepest hills ever, a real hike (and I am very fit!) - not for anybody with a bad back or walking difficulties!
We stayed in a Lodge. It was very spacious and very clean but I wouldn't class it as "luxury" as described in the brochure. Although it was clean and airy it was very "dated" and the sofa and furnishings had seen better days - I really think that they should be replaced. In fact, the furnishings were quite tatty overall - we paid £730 for the week which was quite expensive in comparison with other sites at this time of year. We found the card meter for the electric a pain because you had to plan to take showers and wait for the water to heat up, which isn't really practical when you have just returned from a day on the beach and just want to jump in the shower! But all that besides, the Lodge was fabulously located with the most stunning sea views you can imagine. You have your own patio area with patio table and chairs, which was a really nice touch.
Overall, the park is very nice, the roads could do with a bit of maintenance as the majority of paths/roads were full of holes and large stones, which you could easily trip on.
The staff there are incredibly friendly. The site shop is good, not large, but stocked a lot of stuff you needed. I found the reception staff very friendly and the maintenance people who you often see round the sight always had a "Morning" and a smile for you.
The swimming pool is lovely. Not large, but very clean and the water was warm. There was a life guard on duty who was very good.
All in all, a gorgeous place to stay in Hayle and we will definitely return next year, but this time for two weeks!
