" Pow Camp"

“" Pow Camp"”

Written on: 20/08/2012

We booked a bronze chalet at Landscove holiday park, at a grand total of £1200 for 2 weeks. What we expected was not met in any way, we felt a PREMIUM price for a LOW BUDGET accommodation. In agreement with many of the other "inmates" who booked a hut! we were thouroughly disappointed with what we found. Here goes, disappointment from the onset very tired rundown accommodation, paint peeling and a shabby exterior, roof garden inluded!! The windows inside and out were filthy, looked like dog (inmate) saliva on them.Next dog hairs on the furniture, not good with a very sensitive child with many allergies, dust and dog hairs being the main ones! Hairs in the bath plug hole and weeks worth of sludge (disgusting!) plus the bathroom layout was strange to say the least one slip and your feet were washed in the toilet, the sink and toilet were so close to the shower it was almost impossible to get in the bath.Electric cable for shower barely covered with a blob of silicone, SHOCKING! Next the bedrooms, the heaters stank if you turned them on, yep burning dust! The pillows were as flat as pancakes and the mattress in the main room was a good eight-nine inches smaller than the base, extremely uncomfortable and squeaky, not good for someone prone to a slipped disk!! There were also holes and mould on the curtains, and they had been so badly bleached by the sun they had lost nearly all there colour. The tv was not tuned and had no remote therefore had no means of tuning it manually.I understand that you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear but I don't think you should charge a Kings ransom!The indoor pool was tiny and a little dirty underfoot also the staff did not enforce the rules which were clearly displayed regarding outdoor shoes and pool behaviour. Outdoor pool was much better, weather permitting. On the plus side the staff were friendly and helpful, and the area 'Berry Head' is outstandingly beautiful. We would never book with park again, call in Alex Polizzi!! VIVA THE GREAT ESCAPE!!!! Bartlett ' Big X'
