“Give it a MISS”

written by on 31/07/2011

After reading reviews for Sea View Holiday Park Sennen, we were a bit reluctant with booking our Sun holiday there, but then thought people do tend to exaggerate when complaining. How wrong we were!
After booking we were confronted with a series of extras, such as extras for kettle, TV, microwave toaster etc. and £5 each for the privilege of dinning at their restaurant (which we never did see open the whole four days we were there).
We were also asked to bring a £20 cheque as deposit for the caravan, but on arrival were told that they wanted cash instead, this deposit was however returned to us, in form of a cheque, to the sum of £17 (£3 so called cheque administration).
The caravan we were allocated was adequate, but could have done with a refit, it was a bit rundown with old fashioned decor and most of the windows wouldn’t shut properly.
When booking in at the reception we were told that if we had any problems with the caravan to let them know and they would sort it out. We did have a problem with the hot water boiler which was turned off. I did try relighting it as per the instructions; to no avail and after going back over to the reception I was confronted with a most unpleasant woman I believe must have been the owner. She immediately jumped at me asking how did I know the boiler wasn’t working and why was “you fiddling with the knobs”. I told her I found out because I wanted hot water and tried to relight it to save them the trouble. She once again said you should not have been fiddling with the knobs and she would have to tell her staff to tell their customers not to fiddle with the knobs on the boiler. I then told her that I was a heating engineer for about twenty eight years, with which she replied “they all say that.” This was a true statement made by me and she virtually called me a liar. I thought it was about time I stopped the conversation here, especially with the reputation she has in some of the other reviews.
I do hope that this has been of help to anyone thinking of booking Sea View Holiday Park Sennen and good luck.
