Mrs JB's review of Weststar Holiday Parks, Sandford

“We were expecting, because of the price and the glossy...”

Good Points
Nearby Lulworth is lovely

Bad Points
Filthty accommodation.
Noisy, dirty site.
No net curtains in van meaning curtains/blinds had to be kept closed for privacy.
Caravans crammed in on site with nowhere in between to sit down or play.
Restaurants over-priced and grubby with stroppy staff.
Some surly receptions.
Any green spaces were used as dog-toilets.
Swimming pools packed from 10am to 6pm - standing room only for anyone arriving in between these times.
Music from clubs can be heard from the comfort of your own bed until well into the night.
"Food options" means 'what would you like with your chips?'
Caravan smelt like someone had urinated in it.
Heating didn't work in van.
No hairdryer.
Bedding smelt mouldy

General Comments
We were expecting, because of the price and the glossy brochure, that we would be getting an up-market Haven-style holiday camp with lots of healthy, sporting activities, fields to run around and healthy food options.



Looking at the brochure now makes me laugh. If you have already booked I would recommend cancelling - for the standard you get at Westar there are far cheaper sites and for the money you're paying there are far, far better sites. Don't go if you want quality, luxury accommodation, peaceful woodland and a tranquil, family environment. DO go if you want junk food, late clubs and bars, amusement arcades and a Club 18-30 environment with lots of badly behaved brats running around.



We had a great holiday because we had the best of the summer weather and were able to get away from the site to the beach every day and only had to eat there twice - surrounding areas, Poole, Bournemouth, Weymouth and Lulworth are lovely and worth a visit.



Sandford holiday camp itself, however, is very poor quality and dirty.
