“Bunn Leisure West Sands! Never Ever Again!”
Written on: 19/08/2012
We stayed in Selsey on the West Sands site, our caravan was close to the clubhouse which I realise now probably played a major part in our not liking the holiday! The first night we were there a fight erupted outside the Food Hut, there were people running around screaming their heads off with empty buggies (god knows where the children were!) there was a lot off scuffling, some poor bloke being kicked around whilst he laid on the floor, the security seemed more intent on 'bigging...

“fantastic holiday with brilliant staff and entertainment.”
Written on: 23/10/2011
we went for 11 days to this holiday site. On arrival the reception staff were very helpfull and instructed us very clearly where our caravan was. On entering our accomodation we found it very clean and tidy and evreything we need was there. Our accomodation was within a 2 minute walk of both the beach and the complex itself. When we entered the entertainment complex in the evening we found all the staff very friendly. our four children were very well looked after by the childrens club staff.... (read more)

Me and my family loved it at west sands. Its a lovely hoilday park right next to the beach. The caravan we stayed in was almost brillant but jus needed a little bit of a hover. The linen smelled lovely and fresh which is always good. The shower room and toilet was nice and clean aswell. The staff were really friendly. There was lots for the kids to do. The adult entertainment was brillant aswell. There is a cool kids club in the evenin for the children to go to which has a few park reps... (read more)

Me and my Fiancee along with our 8 year old son spent the half term week in June 2011 on West Sands part of the Bunn leisure complex.We arrived and the checkin process was very quick and easy. The reception staff were very helpful and seeing as there are a lot of caravans on site they made finding the caravan pretty simple.We stayed in a Silver category caravan which was only a year old and was spotless and very spacious.Because Bunns is a mix of 3 camps there is a vast area to cover...

I really with that I could beable to write a positive review on this place. On the outset it looked a charming little holiday location, perfect for my wife and the kids, however, things turned sinister on the Friday evening that we were there.
What had started out as a nice pleasant family experience turned quickly into a lads holiday atmosphere thanks in no part to the caravan near us. Quite why bunn leisure had allowed a caravan of teenagers there is beyond me. This bunch though were...

I was there last week and we came home 3 days early, I could not stay any longer. Every night being woken by drunken fools is not fun and letting off fireworks at 3am is really not on. The morning we left bin bags around the camp had been ripped open everywhere and a bollard had been ripped out of the ground also my daughters tennis racket and ball had been taken off are decking and left near the parking area. I am sooo glad to be home

Bunn Leisure is a beautiful place on the south coast overlooking the isle of white. I has a mile of beach covered in pebbles which is extremely clean!
I have stayed in both Static caravans and the touring park which both have high facilities. for our static caravan there was one downside... they had double booked on our caravan. they said that one would have been ready in an hour if we waited. the also offered us a discounted upgrade to the next ranked caravan. this only cost £20. we agreed...

“Bunn Leisure, April 2011. ”
Written on: 17/04/2011
Bunn Leisure, April 2011.
I really wasn't expecting to enjoy our 5 day break as much as I did. The static caravan was very well equipped, warm and comfortable.
Evening entertainment was excellent, the entertainment team must be congratulated with the quality of the shows they put on. Don't miss the pantomime on Thursday afternoon, very funny, and the dame who is played by a member of the entertainment team,(ex-butlins), totally made the show. The only on site food we tried was the fish and...

We arrived at the specified time only to be told our caravan wasn't ready. TWO HOURS later we were given the keys.
The caravan was really grubby despite being cleaned so we complained. The cleaner came back and told us he was only given 20 minutes to clean each van-if he didn't finish on time he didn't get paid for that van!!
The site seemed to be inhabited by a large proportion of 'traveller' types-lots of untaxed vans and people with an abundance of gold jewellery-you know the sort. One...

I strongly disagree with your review. The complex is almost spotless... i would like to see your car after you have been down there... then tell me that it is dirty. they cant help the salt. The pool is brilliant and clean with a gym,sauna and steam room. The facilities are ALL clean and the prices of the holiday are good where places like butlins are well over priced! The shops are the same as my local shops (same price and items). Plenty of on-site shops and complexes for everyone. I would say that the embassy could be a little bigger but there is no way it is as bad as you make it out to be! The staff are exceptionally friendly compared to other places! I have only ever had to make one complaint which was a caravan smelt of wet dog so they changed our caravan and gave us complementary gift certificates for use around the park. The park is large but there are 4 areas. IT IS FAMILY FRIENDLY! you cant control everyone so there will be problems from time to time beyond their control. Food is WELL PRICED! and i highly doubt the staff were making those hand gestures... if so then they would have been fired by now. with the dirty caravan you should ask for a new caravan and they will do that! as i have already said it is FAMILY FRIENDLY! so they won't be putting anyone under any risk... its a brilliant place so how dare you write a review like that... were you describing your kitchen! :@

Booked a caravan in the West Sands park in july 2010. Caravan was clean and had everything needed including a deck which we had not booked but was lovely to have. The pool was good and the kids loved it, although the life guards were a bit strict, but i guess people would be complaining if they were not.
Daytime entertainment for the kids was fantastic. the shows were entertaining and even though the same show was repeated the following week my lads still went and enjoyed. A special mention...

Bunn Leisure is a great place to stay. The evening entertainment is second to none with great acts. There are 3 main clubs, the Viking is themed on Country & Western, the main club at West Sands is the Embassy and there is another on White Horse. There is a regular free bus around the site so no need to drive. The whole place is family oriented and there is plenty to do in the area.
We like it so much we have brought a caravan which is in the Willows on Green Lawns and we go down most...

Last August we went on a last minute break. Just stumbled upon Bunn Leisure/West Sands on a Sunday afternoon drive after remembering it from the 70's. We enquired if there was any availabilities & we were offered a caravan for £400 for one week. We booked immediately. We had a fantastic week, great staff, just freedom relaxation & fresh air. The kids, aged 7&13 really loved it. Its great coz there are 3 parks, West Sands, White Horse & Green Lawns, all with their own entertainment complexes.... (read more)

We booked for a short weekend 6 - 9 Aug 2010.
We were taken to our pitch in the camping field as we were not allowed to have a normal pitch because of the size of our tent, there were people with the same tent on the normal and electrical hook up pitches!!!
Had a family of GRAND NUMPTIES next to us who were swearing and threatening to kill all of the campsite at 2am but security dealt with them quickly.
The pool is small but adequate. Odd experience in the smugglers restaurant where my...

I thought it only fair to comment on previous reviews as we found what I presume to be the same security man/bouncer very polite and helpful. We had struggled to find seating on one very busy evening and he went out of his way to magic a table and chairs for my family out of nowhere. He seemed friendly enough to others also. On a more general basis, apart from some appalling weather, we found tent areas well lit, showers clean and the food good. Keep up the good work Bunn Leisure and... (read more)

What a fantastic holiday park, Sesley is right on the seaside! We stayed in a platinum grade caravan I couldn't believe how clean & tidy it was. My 4 year old loved the entertainment there was loads to do, make sure you check out the panto & Bunni character shows. The food was lovely & reasonably priced, the place was really clean, the staff were so nice & polite. To top off our week saw Billy Ocean! Thanks Bunn Leisure we will be back! (read more)

My family and I have just returned froM Bunn Leisure. Oh My God. What a rip off. We stayed in our own tent so accomodation was good but thats all I can say on a positive note about the place. There was no lighting around the place so walking to the toilet or back to the tent in the dark is hit & miss. The showers are so 'puny' I could actually wee faster. The arcade just eats money so if you go with kids aged between 2 and 12 as we did, your looking at spending about £30 per evening because... (read more)

Will someone please tell the bald headed "bouncer" at Bunn Leisure (I'm sure the other very nice chaps doing the same job know who he is) that he is not some sort of god and a little politeness goes a long way. Obsessed with chairs and no hint of politeness whatsoever! I agree with previous reviews that owners are treated somewhat disproportionally to "ordinary" holiday makers. Owners please note that in August these holiday makers are paying upwards of £800 just for a caravan so do... (read more)

i agree with the owner who wrote the review 26/2/2012, we have found that Bunn Leisure are only interested is getting site fees from the owners as it appears it is easy money, but when you write to them and ask for help in selling the caravan you are ignored, until the date has passed, then you cant get rid of the van and it has already cost you too much.

Went with my wife & two 13 year old girls - not really much to do onsite unless you are into bingo and drinking.
Evening entertainment got very dull after the first couple of nights - basically two or three of the staff singing to a backing track - with poor but loud sound - ie sounded a bit of a mess - + no decent disco for the kids unless you wait till 1130 & can sit thru the sometimes borind entertainment
Platinum caravan living space good - but bedrooms tiny - overall not great

If you had taken your children to bunn leisure in school holidays you would of found a full entertainment programme day and night.
<br/>Has for the caravan owners who are very very fed up with holidays makers causing trouble and destruction and lost of property which we have to pay for which hasnt come cheap over the years, royalty isnt how they would describe them selfs but they are very very much a big asset to the park.
<br/>sorry you didnt enjoy your holiday but if you had paid that little bit extra and gone a few weeks later im sure you and your family would have had a great time.

We have owned a caravan on West Sands for 13 years and have never seen and Hooded chavs with Staffs. I think we would have noticed that as we have two Jack Russell terriers that we walk a lot and have never ever come across anything like this. Did you call the security guys when the party was going on? They would have stopped it.
