“FAR TOO SMALL”

Written on: 03/08/2012 by MRBORED

Devon cliffs needs to expand the facilities or reduce the number of guests, if you want to enjoy the evening entertainment you must be seated by 4.30pm if you want any chance of a seat, The mash and barrel restaurant is so crowded at meal times you have to wait ages and the outside tables are under constant attack from the biggest seagulls ive ever seen. The amusement arcade/bar area is like wembley stadium on cup final day every night of the week and has the same temperature as a well... (read more)

“Awful Customer Service”

Written on: 10/05/2012 by MrsTraceySmith (2 reviews written)

We made our booking online (booking ref 5861073 Mrs T Smith) and we were under the impression that the linen was included. We arrived at the caravan and saw a blue bag on the caravan doorstep (other door to where we entered) I didnt look inside and thought no more of it and checked the bedrooms to see if the linen had been provided and it hadnt. So we went down to the hire shop, they said it was not included in our booking and we need to pay £10, so we did. I asked to take the linen with me... (read more)

Written on: 30/10/2011

A lot of money spent on this holiday as school holiday and booked a prestige and quite frankly feel ripped off. We expected better, to go in to a prestige caravan and see straightaway it was properly cleaned is disgraceful. Crumbs all over lounge, dirty shower, smeary work services, greasy sink dusty lounge, crockery not properly washed. Called them and they came quickly, re hoovered, re cleaned certain areas. We went in and I washed up everything and cleaned the kitchen area and cleaned the... (read more)

Written on: 21/10/2011

Myself, husband and 3 children stayed here for a week this July. We read some shocking reviews before we went and I was a little worried, but we were pleasantly surprised. We did have a deluxe van and upgraded to the 2011 model, and it was lovely I think it is worth spending a little more to get the higher grade accommodation so you won't be disappointed. The site was immaculately clean and there were people going around cleaning all the time. The shop is well stocked but pricey but there... (read more)

“Devon Cliffs need to CLEAN their act up!!”

Written on: 09/07/2011 by Jackie41

My family have been coming to Devon Cliffs for 5 years but won't be returning after going on holiday there last week (2/7). This is mainly because of how dirty the site was ..and the caravan wasn't much cleaner! We went to Papa Johns and saw people cleaning the table they were sitting on after paying out for expensive meals. The eating area for BK and the fish and chip shop was filthy!! We decided to go to Bugsys instead of Capones one night and it was so dirty we went back to the... (read more)

Dump! Apartments are sad, dirty slums. 4 minutes in the apartment were enough to make my sons feet black with dirt. Haven should be embarrassed to callthis a 4 star holiday location. Couldnt even stay the night the linens were soiled. Asked for our money back and came home. Sad thing is there were 6 or so other families just as mad at the bait and switch. Ruined our holiday, thanks Haven! (read more)

The caravan was away from the evening noise around the entertainment area and has sea veiws.
The site is clean and well run and plenty to keep you amused on and off site.

This is the second year we came to Devon Cliffs. In 2009 it was perfect for us. So we booked the whole family(extended) 21 of us in four caravans.
\unfortunately the caravans were in different areas which was a nuisance. So the booking staff didn't listen.There was a serious problem with the water in early July which caused a lot of problems. Staff did their best but as for public information it was woeful! Nevertheless, we were there to enjoy ourselves. and that we certainly did despite... (read more)

Lovely location in East Devon. Reception seemed to be closed very early which was unhelpful. Entertainment very good albeit club (Capones) was very crowded - on our second night the upstairs club was closed for 'owners' only which added to the overcrowding in Capones. The entertainment complex was very noisy and busy with arcades, bars, etc all crammed into one area.I was astonished to see helicopter rides taking place most of the day Saturday - the noise and smell of fuel was awful...

Stayed at Devon Cliffs for a week in September and had a premium caravan. I wasn't expecting too much, but have been pleasantly surprised. The caravan was clean, the bedding all in good order. We had to hire a high chair, which was fine. During our stay we had to call maintainance as the oven would not stay on, a member of staff came to look at it in the evening and a gas engineer fixed it the next morning by 10.00am.
