“Relaxing weekend break”

Written on: 25/06/2012 by nellyj (2 reviews written)

We have just returned from a lovely weekend at Bluestone. The lodge was clean, well equiped and we had a fabulous view over the lake. Once the barrier was down, we didn't see any cars on site. Initially, we were a little disappointed to find that we didn't have any details in our lodge about the opening times of the places to eat and only after we had walked down to Camp Smokey that we found out it was only open for 2 hours during our whole stay! We were able get the list of opening times... (read more)

“Wonderful place relaxing or energetic your choice.”

Written on: 02/05/2012

We have stayed at blue stone many many times. We have taken friends and family with us and have all enjoyed each time. The weather has been good and sometimes not so good but there is a variety of entertainment to suit all ages even if you stay in your accommodation to relax. All accommodation have a TV and Video player and WyFi connection. The rooms are very spacious and fully equipt even the kitchen. The lodges are very clean and family friendly.

“In some Ways Better than Center Parcs!”

Lodges very big and comfortable. All have Dishwasher. Internet is available in all Lodges. Buggy is essential if you have arthritis like me but it was great for my stepson too. I cant really Fault Bluestone - well except for the food. Somebody said You better like pizzas if you are a veggie at Bluestone! Well there's some news. Now You can only get Pizzas delivered to your lodge. And one of the restaurants in the brochure has disappeared! There are two vegetarian meals. A curry and... (read more)

i'd note that the tree Climbing is very difficult in wet conditions.. my son (ok only 7) really struggled on the second tree.. but he can easily do over hangs on climbing walls (indoor)..

“Excellent family holiday”

Written on: 27/06/2011 by loujones1982

I have just come back from a weekend at Bluestone with my gran and my 3 children 8,6 and 2. We stayed in a Caldey Lodge which was very clean and had everything we needed and it was very nice inside. The beds were also very comfortable. My children absolutely loved the blue lagoon waterpark and thought that it was much better than center parcs. They also went on the 4 x 4 safari which they really enjoyed, the girl who took them was very friendly. we also had passes for the adventure centre... (read more)

Being a CP regular I was a little nervous about our stay at Bluestone. However, I am delighted to say it was wonderful. The lodge was super, much better equipped that CP and lots of space. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was good and reasonably priced.
Our group included children aged between 1 and 13 yrs and the activity centre and pool provided something to keep them all amused.
There are not a lot of activities on site but with Oakwood 2 mins away and lots of... (read more)

I just got back from a week at Bluestone with my husband. I loved it! I was very impressed with the high quality amenities in the lodge, like the t.v., DVD player, shower, microwave, underfloor heating in the bathroom, heated towel rack. It was very clean and comfortable. There is wireless in the village and if you bring an ethernet cable you can hook up inm the lodge as well. I found the customer service everywhere on site was excellent. It was excellent value for money and we are... (read more)

I think Bluestone is an amazing place to go. It will be our second time going in a week. The bar is good the food is good the shops are good !!! I personally LOVE Bluestone..... but the only two things that put me off was that the beds were a bit uncomfortable and my bike chain broke twice.... other than that i say i was sad to leave !!

good weekend , but our boys aged 17 and 23 were disapointed that the badmington courts had been taken away. It seems to be that it is more a toddler and under 10 facility. Could do with them spending some money on extra sports facilities for the older guests rather than building an extra 80 lodges which are half way through construction at the moment. (read more)

Just come back from a week at Bluestone.

This is a great alternate to Centreparcs - and cheaper!

Accommodation is first clast, customer service superb and pool facilities A1. My top tip would be to pre-book a golf buggy if cycling up hills is not your thing!

We stayed for the Easter break in 2010. The location was fabulous and we liked the fact that it was quieter than center parcs and smaller with less traffic. Plus points- stylish cabins that are modern and up to date, beautiful clean bathrooms with fresh linen and nice extras like a under floor heating and heated towel rails that were essential after a four and five year had been having fun in a wet room! The play area in the village centre was lovely and it's great that you can have a nice... (read more)

We stayed for the weekend before Christmas,2009.The Ramsey lodge accomodation was clean,spacious and well appointed,with a super view of the snow capped Presilli hills.

Our son was only 2,and with a step hill from the village centre to the lodge and a distance to travel to the Blue Lagoon we got a golf buggy.Money well spent and added to the fun.

The Blue Lagoon was great,as was the village centre,which had a couple of small fair rides for Xmas.

"Over priced, badly run and aspirations of being something that they're not" - I can only speak as a visitor who has been to the Blue Lagoons pool at Blue stone but I agree with this comment from a previous review. £10 per head and you don't even get to stay as long as you like as there's a time limit on your stay!

Written on: 22/07/2010

The adventure centres equivalent is available all over the UK at a much more reasonable price. Any of the worthwhile activities were additional cost from entry fee, which we found over priced anyway. why do adults have to pay an entrance fee for the pleasure of watching their child in the play area, entrance fee should be for children using activities only.
We will not be coming again and would not reccommend to any friends.
Very Disapointed Family!

Just returned from a girlie weekend and apart from a very wet "wet room" we couldn't fault the lodge - it was very clean and well equipped. The spa was excellent value and all the staff we came across were very helpful. The restaurant prices are a little steep and the food quality fell a little short of expectations but other than that we really couldn't find fault at all. We will be returning. (read more)

Having read all the previous negative reviews I was really nervous about visiting Bluestone and had very low expectations. I have to say my concerns were totaly and completely unfounded. The negative early reviews are just not representive of my experience last week.

I think this reviewer summed it up when she said that money doesn't buy you class - you only have to look at her very unpleasant comments to see that. As far as I'm aware, Bluestone does not have an exclusive policy - and it's certainly NOT an exclusive resort!

Yikes! I drive a BMW and my daughter wears hand-me-downs from Next, yet I didn't feel out of place at my recent visit. I found the carpark to be full of Volkswagens and Renaults, so I guess my dad's Mercedes must have improved the standard a bit. That said, I don't smoke or have any tatoos, so perhaps I wasn't in the wrong place after all...

The lodge was good and comfortable. The wet room really could have had a bath as well. The hob was a nightmare to get to work. The layout of the site meant lots of uphill walking.Considering this I think buggy hire should have been far cheaper. Why couldn't they give you your pass for Blue Lagoon in with the pack when you arrive? The food at the pool was really unimpressive and expensive for what it was.

Fairly disappointing for our mid-week break in the off-season.

Smart venue but we found the customer service to be pretty poor. Having paid over £500 for a 4 night break, we were staggered by the addition of numerous 'stealth' charges on top (e.g. £10 for a cot). Bluestone Wales seems to be positioning itself as an equivalent to Ryanair....except the original price is not cheap!

Staggeringly short-sighted & miserly. (read more)

Dave Dobson's Comment

Written on: 12/02/2010

I found this review not helpful because...the opinion expresses the holiday makers shortcomings and not the parks - for example:
<br/>1. TV took some working out - there are clear instructions in the welcome book
<br/>2. Unpractical for 2 little ones - Our 3 year old loved it, the website makes it quite clear what you get and therefore you should be able to judge suitability for youngsters
<br/>3. No radio, iron, washing machine - These aren't offered as part of the package, facilities are clearly described on website.
<br/>4. Golf range - in my experience they are generally just a mat and balls (although aknowledge in this case it's a bit basic - but fun)
<br/>5. &pound;3.25 a pint is usual city centre / holiday camp cost where ever you go, it's certainly not London prices (ask any rugby supporter)
<br/>6. A trek up to car park - that's what it's about, getting off you lazy rear and doing something... or hire a buggy!

Chipping green was non-existent and hadn't been mown for weeks/months. Get fit before you go to get up the hill to the Blue Lagoon -unless you're hiring a buggy which we couldn't afford.

Great Accommodation at Bluestone. Friendly Service. Lovely Area. Great if you don't mind a bit of mud when walking up to pool. The cycle track is a bit hilly for very young riders but other than that we have no complaints. Its a real 'outdoorsy' place with a lovely option of luxory with the accommodation and dining out.

As early middle-aged DINKs we had always felt slightly out of place at Centre Parcs, feeling that the addition of 2.4 children to our Volvo would have made us much more of the right demographic. However after 5 consecutive visits and it ' s increasing commercialisation, not to mention the cost, Sarah and I decided on a change. So after just a three and a half hour drive from Oxfordshire, we were at Bluestone in central Pembrokeshire.

Good for people who want to go out and visit things but quite boring if you don't want to drive everywhere, expensive childcare ( £10 per hour) meant that we didn't go out at night and lots of things were closed early or... (read more)

I disagree with this comment. We went with two children (5 and 7) and they were able to use the slides in the pool with no problems. In fact they loved it - especially the Lazy River. Plus there are activities in the sports hall. I think the whole point of going to a place like Bluestone is that you can go out and about and visit Pembrokeshire too. Folly Farm nearby (less than 10 minutes) has a massive indoor play barn.
