    Following a recent stay at the Dawlish Sands Holiday Park during May 2009 I would like to inform any person saying there what I found in our so called 8 berth 'Silver Plus' caravan.

    The lights in the main circulation area consisted of one light with none of the others working at all, rectified 3 days after complaint.
    Electric kettle with defective switch.
    Portable appliance testing labels not on various items of electrical equipment including the defective kettle so I assume no testing carried out.
    Dining table would only sit 4 for an 8 berth.
    Double mattress threadbare, worn and dirty, springs were only covered by mattress lining as all padding had long disappeared.
    Bedding dirty and old.
    Insuficent crockery.
    Seating and carpets dirty, stained, old and dingy.
    Curtains did not meet in the middle.
    Blind would not adjust, broken.
    Shelving trims, some missing allowing bare MDF to show through.
    Bathroom cupboard door missing.
    Stools unstable resulting in children and adults overbalancing on them.
    Shower drain blocked, cleared it myself, terrible smell from the drains.
    Gas boiler gave insufficent hot water.
    No toaster, received one on the 3rd day of arrival.
    Waste bin suitable for 2 people but not 8, constantly overflowing.
    Wad of chewing gum found stuck beneath food preparation area, not cleaned.
    Caravan door locks on both doors not working correctly giving rise to concerns over the operation in case of a fire in the caravan, would they open or not?
    Power points in the childrens bedroom at waist height with no blanks in to prevent inquisitive children poking their fingers or other foreign objects in.
    Handle of the bedroom window came off with the window locked and unable to open.

    For the money charged we expected a caravan fit for use, clean and in good order but actually received a sub standard caravan with the attitude of 'we have your money now take it or leave it'. I will never take my family to Dawlish Sands Holiday Park again nor any other venues run by Park Holidays.
