“Worst then hell ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by 1945Haley on 25/02/2017

Park it's self is kept clean by the staff and all staff are friendly but defiantly under paid and over worked. Reception managers are rude and general manager onsite is rude Chalets look run down and like something from 60's The ones that have been 'done up' with a bit of cladding well they didn't clad one whole row across the back when asked why not was told it was to save money ( more for general managers back pocket probably) all in all not a pleasant place

“worst place ever stayed on.”

★☆☆☆☆

written by traceyandalan on 21/06/2015

I stayed at perran sands for a week and have to say i would never stay there again.To begin with we had no hot water as the thermostat had gone and a hole where the extractor fan should of been which they dealt with in good time but the chalet we stayed is was meant to be comfort plus but on looking at the others it didn't look any different and to think they charged extra for this was a disgrace as the bed was uncomfortable and hardly got any sleep all week and came back one day to find a snake being an adder hanging half in or door and half out so luckily it had died on inspection from my husband disposing of it but left is feeling very uncomfortable for the rest of our stay. When reported to reception she said we will look into it and not to worry as easier said than done as had it got in then could of been a different story. Also my husband is disabled and it dosen't advise that the area to get to chalet is very hilly. Would never stay again and wiuld of liked my money back as very unhappy with all aspects of park.

“worse hoilday weve ever had!!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by hail on 24/08/2014

I never write reviews but our holiday was just so bad. just came back from perran sands,hired a private caravan which was lovley as the lady who owns it cleans it herself no faults with that so glad didn't book with heaven to go in one of there caravans after seeing how rude staff was there, staff was so rude towards children, didn't have time for them (especially the females) after paying £120 for passes to go in the pool twice and in the club once as entertainment was so boring and they didn't no what they were doing half the time, everythink else you had to pay for, didn't have a family cart to hire so had to hire 2 bikes for 4 of us, the family bike was £10 and 2 bikes cost £14, was there fault the family bike was broke but didn't offer us 2 bikes for the same cost as a family bike. came back a day early as we couldnt wait to get away from there, weve been on a lot of holidays and never experienced nothing like PERRAN SANDS, will never go to a haven again as was the first and will be the last time, how the hell do these get a 4 star rating I will never no!!!!

“Great Holiday”

★★★★☆

written by CAITLYN2013 on 24/07/2013

While staying at Perransands,My family and I had a great time. The staff are friendly and helpful. The food was great and we was lucky with the weather. The caravan was clean and tidy and we spent most nights in the club where there was always something going on. I got to say a big thank you to the security staff for looking after my daughter after she fell and hit her head. They really calmed her down while others made her smile and it was not long before she was running round again. Over all a good holiday and we hope to come back next year.

“High price for poor accomodation”

★★☆☆☆

written by Moo-moo75 on 07/09/2012

Where do I start entertainment very much the same each night very boring! Caravan we had was a deluxe pfffttt mouldy curtains,smelly carpets, mold on walls and corners! Shabby all round! Food over priced! Really not worth the £799 I paid for a week! Only one of the four singers could sing an dance the others were wooden! Will not be returning!

“Amazing family holiday park”

★★★★★

written by on 28/05/2012

Fantastic holiday extremely clean helpful friendly staff entertainment fantastic thoroughly enjoyed will return next year for sure. The site is in a beautiful setting. Plenty of activities on site and loads in the surrounding area. Very peaceful as well. The security of the site was brilliant as well. Can't complain about anything. The site is central to alot of other places as well.

“take photos!!!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by martin91 on 23/02/2012

this was our first holiday at heaven. not to be repeated.the first thing that hits you on entering the chalet is the smell, damp and musty. then you notice the overall shabbiness,tatty sofas,doors that don't close properly bathrooms with broken tiles,broken and cracked toilet seats. don't expect to take your clothes out of the bags as the wardrobes are damp.if you are in a dog friendly cabin expect fleas,dog hairs everywhere and in our case a distinctive smell of dog pee in the living room. the grill did not work and the kettle leaked. the whole cabin was filthy, excrement in the toilet.dog hairs and fleas in every room,very little hot water for baths/showers,dirty pillows and linen,we ended up buying sleeping bags- i do not believe it had been cleaned for our arrival!the staff clearly were used to these complaints and well rehearsed in there excuses.everything on this site other than the swimming pool was geared to take as much money from the customers as possible,we left two days early and i was not prepared to let it rest. i contacted heaven by letter and 1 month later had received a reply to the likes of,other people have stayed and loved the site- sorry for the few problems you alerted us to we were glad we were able to sort them out blah blah fob off...my advice to ANYONE going to this site is take a camera and photo EVERYTHING! keep a detailed record of all problems and notify the manager instantly - do not let him fob you off.the more people who complain about this site sooner or later they must start to take notice and eventual invest in it.However i would like to point out the following year we went to the Cleethorpes Heaven site and absolutely loved it!!so it goes to show it might not be Heaven as a whole - just this particular site suffering from neglect.

“First time at a holiday site.”

★★★★☆

written by on 17/07/2011

Just got home from a week at Perran Sands, lovely. We have never been to a holiday site before as I lived in Spain for many years by the beach etc. We weren`t sure what to expect, but the Delux Mobile home was good. It was very clean and lovely for us 4. We didn`t use to evening bar etc but the pool was lovely and the shop ok too. The staff were all very friendly and helpful all over the site. The site was very clean too. The walk to the beach was very hard but it did say this on the website, 3 mins in the car took us to Perranporth and the amazing beach. I do not have anything bad to say about this site and will be booking another holiday for next year soon.

“me and my family went here as the 1st holiday we had...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 15/05/2011

me and my family went here as the 1st holiday we had been on in a couple of years after returning to the uk. this was by far the WORST holiday we have ever been on, moulding kitchen wear, lack of activities and dirty linen, even the sofa was beginning to mould. if your thinking about taking your family to a nice caravaning holiday this summer, DO NOT GO HERE!!!

“I am the customer that doesnt normally write reviews,...”

★★★★★

written by Paul Malloy on 24/04/2011

I am the customer that doesnt normally write reviews, good or bad. The customer who has a bad experience but doesnt complain, I just walk away quitely and never repeat the experience.

Until now....I read the reviews on this site before I left to go on our trip to Perransands and the bad reviews really stressed me out! I even had a back up plan for me, my wife and two young children to move out from our caravan straight into a local hotel if the accomodation was in anyway poor.

We paid an upgrade to get a new 2011 caravan (this is a must at only £5 extra per night!)We were given a 2007 caravan with no water facilities that was a smaller caravan than we had booked. You can check how old the caravan is by checking the date on the main gas appliance/boiler (this tells you when the gas was commissioned.)

I went straight to reception. No drama. Explained I wanted a new caravan. We were given a free upgrade to a brannd new caravan that was immaculate and only commissioned two weeks earlier. The staff were very professional.

All staff members we came across were very friendly. The site was spotless. But why would you stay on the site as Perran Porth is fantastic, the beach is one of the best I have ever been to. You will read about the long walk back from the beach on the site, but why bother as you can drive to the same beach in Perran porth in less that 5 minutes.

There is a Morrisons only 7 miles drive from the site. And some wonderful swimming pools with large flumes and great life gaurds at some local holiday parks that you can take a quick drive to that are very well priced (just check on the internet before you go).

I hope you found this useful, with a bit of basic planning you will have a great holiday!

caravan didnt have sheets as promised but was given a generous amount of money back!
the site was clean, i agree that 2 of the nights we had already seen the act( rocket science) and greedy's disco in the park and polly's fancy dress we were there a week and surprised that it was repeated in the same week, but beautiful beaches good clubs not too busy either. food was well priced and the staff amazing! i know what you mean about some of the comments being close to the belt, how ever funstars CAIN, TOM, MARK, AND DEBS WERE FABO! ANOTHER MALE FUNSTAR NOT SO IMPRESSED!

“Just returned from our Easter Break at Perran Sands...”

★★★★★

written by on 15/04/2011

Just returned from our Easter Break at Perran Sands with our touring caravan. We are from Sheffield and the Easter School Holidays are clearly on differing dates from most schools in the UK as the site was only a third full.

That said we had a fantastic time! The staff were all really helpful, the entertainment for the kids brilliant and luckily the weather was sunny.

The showers were spotless on our visit and the cleaners appeared to be present on most of my visits.

The pool got busy in the afternoon but changing was okay compared to other Haven sites.

The bar/club was easy to get a seat before 19:00 and the entertainment was great for kids & adults.

Will definatley return!

“We booked our Haven holiday through a local paper's...”

★★★★★

written by on 11/04/2011

We booked our Haven holiday through a local paper's £10 per person promotion and would not usually go on caravan holidays, but we absolutely loved it! The caravan was more like a chalet and was actually bigger than our house (given we have a tiny house!, over-all it was very clean, smelt fine (i have bad memories of the smell of caravans from childhood! and we had good tv reception. The only problems were that the caravan got a bit cold in the evening even though days were warm , so take blankets and jumpers! And that the igniter on the oven didn't work - we didn't get round to reporting it 'till we left but they told then that they would have fixed it if we had asked!
We didn't really used the entertainment facilities apart from a quick mess about on the slot machines and we ordered a takeaway from the pizza place - which was very nice. But what we were most impressed by was how beautiful it is for a holiday park, built into sand dunes and just a short (although rather steep!) walk from the beach, which offered good surfing - although there were rather strong rip tides.
- Much recommended!

then was told time at the bar please hurry up with your drinks and go as they were closeing. which we wasnt happy about but was told it was quite and wasnt worth staying open,we also thought the entertainment team were extreamly loud evernings especally the blonde girl, dan was are fav, very helpfull and kind.caravan was fab loved it, and we would go back again maybe when there is warmer weather.lovley part of cornwall there is all diffrent ways to get to the beach if you have got buggys there is a bus stop on camp plus a little train that gos around the park, happy hoildays
