Sandyholme Holiday Park Reviews

Peaceful, clean and beautiful setting

We had a great weekend, thank you. Perfect location for Tank Museum.

Campervan

The cleanliness was very good. Plenty of toilets & showers. The ladies showers were very cold in the morning on my first two days but on the 3rd morning was warm. The shingle was well layered and stayed on the plot not in the van which was appreciated. Would return again.

Great location and lovely site

Pitches were large and well kept, toilet and shower facilities were clean and even had a hairdryer. The site was placed close to lots of Dorset gems such as Lulworth cove and the tank museum.

Camping trip

Had a great time, situated central to loads of attractions, beautiful well tended and clean site! Good sized pitches, plenty of room for my large tent, shelter and toilet tent! Handy on site shop for essentials, and central shower and toilet block was immaculate, use of the freezers came in very handy! The only slight gripe was the meadow shower block. Well kept and clean, but actual showers were a bit below par, small cubicles, so hard to keep clothes and towel dry, and having to keep button depressed was a bit of a pain! Used main block after that, and no problems whatsoever, good size with partition to keep clothes dry, and great pressure on water! All in all, a great site and all staff should be proud! Shall definitely be back next year, probably for a longer stay as is a long drive from home and the area is stunning to visit! Well done guys!👏👏👍👍

Peace and quiet

The place is secluded, green, quiet and clean.

Beautiful and chilled

We booked this campsite on a whim and went the next day. It was such a lovely campsite, a huge field with well marked pitches and lots of room for the children to play! The toilets and showers were being cleaned constantly and the staff were very friendly. Location wise it was an easy 10 minutes drive to Durdle Door, Weymouth etc. We will definitely return!

Thank you for the lovely review, we are glad that you found lots to visit in the local area.

Well maintained

Great location for local beaches, 8miles from Weymouth and 10 mins from Durdle door. Basic site, well maintained, small shop. Unisex toilets which was strange, further walk to single sec loos from meadow non electric camping. Would recommend as a central base.

We are pleased that you found it a great base to explore the local area, hope to see you again soon.

Very good value for money

Thank you very much, the campsite was easy to find, the staff were welcoming and professional, the campsite has two main lovely fields with lots of places for a tent pitch. The area is very calm and so relaxing and just a few minutes away from Durdle door and other things to see in the area. The bathroom was a few minutes away (walking distance) and we would have appreciated a shelf and more bathroom/shower nearer the second field - aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay!

Brilliant park

Really really nice hosts. Stopped to go to the tank museum so the location was perfect, but wish we were there longer to visit the nearby beaches. Can't recommend the site enough.

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed your stay and the nearby tank museum. We look forward to your return visit!

Fabulous little find

We arrived later in the day so reception was shut but due to the lack of reception at our previous site, the rebooking form didn't return. So on arrival, we had no code to get in or anyone to contact! Luckily a member of staff was walking her dog and having checked my previous booking confirmation, gave us the code and a run down of where to pitch. Very pleasant lady. Lovely, quiet spacious pitches with great facilities. It is in a very quiet, rural area but the roads leading to it are easy to navigate. Sadly there was poor reception/Wi-Fi which again made our arrival a little more stressful. Definitely a place I would use again if in the area, although I would definitely make sure the pre booking email was sent and a response received. My bad🤗 Thank you for a great stay.

Hidden gem

Lovely, tranquil site, generous pitches with everything included in price. Staff very helpful and friendly. Lovely, well maintained grounds with lovely walks. Lovely dark skies perfect for stargazing. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Stunning setting

Extremely happy with our stay at Sandyholme. Check in and arrival was very easy, there was a great of selection of pitches, showers and the laundry facilities were great. It was very clean and well maintained site. We will be returning again as we had such a nice time in the area.

Thank you for the great feedback.

Nice place

First time staying at Sandyholme. Looked lovely on arrival. Like the idea of a choose your own pitch. Very spacious with some flat pitches. Bit disappointed with the toilet block for campers. 3 ladies showers that the main door is always open too and the toilets are unisex. As a lone camper, didn't feel comfortable using them in the night. Main toilet and shower block for the holiday homes were lovely. Plenty of hot water, clean and private. Small shop was only open for an hour in the morning and only stocked basic food and alcohol. Excellent dog exercise area and beautiful walks around the park.

Lovely family camping spot

Did a spur of the moment camping trip with my 7 year old. Really lovely spot, quiet, and well taken care of. Ideal for a base to do day trips out from, and plenty of space for children to run around and play. Only marked 4 stars on service because the reception is only open 2 hours a day, so you have to time it just right. Would have been good to have someone help with local knowledge at times for an out-of-towner. There is an app and a few flyers for things. Also, facilities were really well kept and clean, but some form of games room with table football, pool and/or table tennis would make it perfect for kids and older children. Or, at least a room to play some board games and cards in. Otherwise, great place, and will be back.

Relaxed family holiday

Quiet holiday campsite. At least a 20-minute drive for shopping and beaches.

Thank you from all of the team.

Lovely base for exploring

Lovely campsite. Based on the facilities we first used in Meadow Camp, we wouldn't have come back, but after discovering the other showers, we definitely would. We found the staff to be very pleasant, always a 'hello' and 'how are you today?' which was lovely. I would definitely recommend this park, but explore the campsite to familiarise yourself with all it has to offer. Your holiday is what you make it! Pitch and go out explore, and we have made special, amazing memories.

We are so pleased that you found our team friendly and enjoyed the area.

Very quiet and clean, great location

Great park, friendly staff, clean facilities and all felt safe for kids. Gravel pitches all in the middle of the statics, so if you want a bit more space and privacy, choose grass pitches.

Site's response

Thank you for the fabulous review.

A relaxing and comfortable stay

A lovely quiet four night stay in beautiful area. The electric grass pitches in the field seemed to have more space than those on the hardstanding area. There are toilet and shower blocks in the field and hardstanding areas, both very clean. Site is maintained to a good standard, the grass was mowed each day. Less than half a mile past the camp, is a small garden centre, with a good selection of chilli plants and flowers. Next to this is a cider museum, selling a good selection of ciders and also a guide to making ciders. Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove are only 6 miles away. Smugglers Inn is 3 miles away with lovely views over Weymouth and Portland. There is a big shopping centre on the outskirts of Weymouth for all your shopping needs. There is a shop on site, but only open for a couple of hours, selling the basics. We felt that the stay was good value for money.

Great staff!

It was our first and best campsite in England! We felt very comfortable! Toilet and showers great! Great staff! We will come again! Everything was fine, peaceful and unforgettable! Translated from German.

Fabulous site

We only stayed for a couple of nights, but we absolutely loved it. People who run the site are lovely and the site itself was beautiful, clean and tidy. Would definitely stay again.

We are pleased that you found everything tidy and clean.

Decent stop-over

We chose the non-electric pitch, which is in a grassy field. This was fine, but it wasn't entirely clear exactly where to pitch, so we just selected a spot and all was fine. The site is clean and quiet, and the facilities seem to be decent, although there is no lighting in the field, so a head-torch was required for the short walk to the toilet block at night. The only strange thing was that it was a completely 'contactless' stay - didn't see a staff member in the two days we were there. This wasn't a problem, but I don't know how things might have worked if we'd needed to ask a question (there is a reception hut but it was closed). Overall though, we were quite satisfied with our stay and if we return to the area, it would certainly be on our list.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, we do a contactless check in for the ease of our guests. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and would return.

Brilliant!

Location was great and easy to find. Value for money is there considering the facilities are well maintained and very clean. The staff we came across were all lovely and chatty and as we went slightly off-season, the site itself was quiet and peaceful.
