Guest's review of Summer Lodge Holiday Resort

“Summer lodge improvements could not come sooner.”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 12/08/2012

Just back from a week away in Newquay, stayed at The Summer lodge caravan park in a Kernow caravan. I do not to be to critical as I feel someone is trying but we couldn't find that person. The caravan was tatty, seats worn, filling non existant so really not at all comfy. The beds whilst small were ok for the kids but the double bed has left both my wife and myself with bad backs, I'd of been better sleeping in the car. Gas fire, which due to poor weather was needed, would not light with piezo, so had to use a taper. Shower had to choises, cold with some little pressure or hot as a dribble.
Now on to what the park classed as entertainment. Music was played from the DJ booth for 75% of the night. Most night the DJ(STEVE) played music to his own liking, singing his own lyrics over the track, which sometimes was not appropiate with kids in room, cut track short for no reasons and told in most poorly taste jokes sometimes of with either sexist or near rasist undertones. The highlight of most nights was the bingo, is that the best we can expect in 2012!!! On 3 nights we had a singer, who in all sang about a half hour set. On the other nights we had either no entertainment or entertainment which in other holiday parks is used as a warm up. Oh I nearly forgot about surfing sandy, a costume donned by one of the entertainment team for about 20 mins without much interest in their job, this 20m mins was followed by about 10 mins of party dances for the kids. On one occasion I took my youngest for the kids entertainment which was meant to have started at 6pm, on our arrival at 615pm there was not anyother soul in the room, apart from staff gossiping. One of the ents team gave my girl a piece of paper and some crayons, THATS ENTERTAINMENT SUMMER LODGE STYLE!!!!
In all apart from caravan being a let down, entertainment very poor, an outdoor swimming pool staffed by an over exuberent life guard NO FUN ALLOWED,we did manage to have an ok time, however that was due to the fact we went with 7 other members of our family and made our own entertainment.
There is rumours that a new management team is coming in to spend money on park, if this is so they better get a move on before they lose any chance of return business as my wifes family have used this park over 20 times in last 20 years and have now vowed never to return...
