Beverley Holidays, Ashvale

I would just like to write for those of you considering going to Ashvale holiday park, what an amazing entertainments team they have here 2008. They are absolutely fantastic if you want a holiday full of entertainment and great shows this is the place for you. You can view the performances from their shows at youtube.com/AshvaleEnts.

I will one hundred percent be returning here 2009. I am hoping for the same team.

We had a good time at Ashvale and would consider going back again. It is the quieter sister park to Beverley Park which is only a couple of hundred yards away (just across a road). Ashvale seemed quieter and smaller than Beverley and the site was more sloping.

Facilities at Ashvale include an outside pool and terrace, amusements, shop, launderette, snooker room, table tennis, kids outdoor play area, and Captain Jacks kids room. It also includes a cafe, bar and entertainment room. Whilst many from Ashvale make use of the Beverley facilities, e.g. indoor pool and steam room, and larger entertainments venue I'm sure that many from Beverley would enjoy Ashvale. I guess the only downside to the park was that it is quite a walk to the local beach (Goodrington - nice with beach huts and a steam train running along the back) and the walk back up the hill would feel further. The positive aspect of this though is the views across Torbay from both Ashvale and Beverley.

The thing that impressed me about Ashvale and Beverley was the fact that these are family run sites and it shows in how well the sites are run and maintained. Everything was clean and well maintained and clearly a lot goes in to updating the site (in our experience this is in stark contrast to the larger chains such as Park Resorts and Haven). Also the staff that we met seemed committed to the park and I guess that many of them work there year after year.

With so much to do and see in South Devon we used the car each day. There are some regular buses that take you between Torquay, Paignton and Brixham.

Ashvale and Beverley show the benefits of a family run park with good facilities.

We were staying on Beverley Park, but later discovered we could use the club on sister park Ashvale Holiday Centre. Ashvale is a lovely little park, ideal for families with an outstanding Entertainments team.

We only could of wished we discovered we could use this club earlier on in our holiday. The shows that the team 2008 put on were better than any shows I have witnessed at other bigger more well known holiday companies, with all members of the team being extremely talented.

Their shows were the full works, vocals, routines, costumes and lighting affects. The girls were great with our kids and they had a great time we couldn't of wished for anything better. We are hoping to return to Ashvale 2009, and are hoping that they have the same line up for next years entertainments team. Thank you to the team for such a great week you made our holiday - 10/10
