    5 Stars We're all going on a British Holiday. Diamond review Review with images 08/05/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Less fuss than holidays abroad, plenty to do, suitable for all ages, you can take your pet

    Disadvantages Disadvantages British weather may spoil your fun, but not the kids fun.

    I wonder how many people remember as I do the Great British Holiday? I've put it in capitals because at one time travel abroad was limited to the middle classes and above. There was such a tradition about the British seaside many years before I was born when all classes of people stayed in guesthouses or hotels leading to the wonderful Victorian architecture that some seaside resorts still boast today. I was born in 1952 and still remember when some resorts had their traditional pier for the ladies and gentlemen to stroll along but alas these are now crumbling as more and more people take ... more

    5 Stars The Malvern Hills are calling 05/10/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Countryside, hill walks,great shopping on hand

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Limited nightlife unless you travel into Worcester or Birmingham

    If you're looking for somewhere to go in the holidays this summer you could do a lot worse than hit the sights of Malvern. Malvern is an old Victorian spa town nestling in, yes the Malvern Hills. In days gone by people would visit the town from near and far to partake of its mysterious waters, which were claimed to clear all manner of ills. Having visited the local Water Museum I think the miraculous properties were derived more from time out from a rich lifestyle than any mystical properties held by the water but what the heck….it made Malvern rich and famous, as it still is today for it's ... more

    5 Stars UPDATED A family tradition . 17/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A family run camp with it's own private beach and excellent facilities .

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Maybe price . I think it's reasonable , but thay's my opinion.

    I must tell you about an excellent family run holiday park. It’s called Pentewan Sands and is situated near St Austell in Cornwall. My family have been going they’re for their holidays since 1965 and in those 37 years a lot of improvements have been made. The camp itself is nestled in a small quiet bay and is surrounded by countryside and benefits from a private beach. Another benefit is that no pets are allowed so that you never have to worry about children stepping in dog mess. The park has been open for over 60 years and is still run by the Tremaine family. It spans an impressive 32-acre ... more

    4 Stars Rain Rain Go Away-Come to Cambersands Another Day 21/10/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great Value, Great Entertainment, Something for Everyone

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some Amenities not running in bad weather or low season

    It started out great. I collected all the vouchers in The Sun Newspaper and sent off our deposit for 4 adults and 1 baby to stay at one of the Great British Holiday Parks for a long weekend (Friday to Monday). We paid extra for linen, entertainment passes and electricity or gas. We selected three parks and three different dates. We managed to get our first choice of park but our third choice of date. We were off the Cambersands, Nr Rye in October!!! It all went pear-shaped from then on!! Firstly, the couple who had agreed to come with us backed out choosing to go abroad instead (beats me why ... more

    5 Stars There's a Feeling I Get 12/12/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages For families of all ages

    Disadvantages Disadvantages I can't come here on holiday 'cos I live here

    In other cyber-worlds I call myself Lamorna. There’s a reason. In another life my late husband and I had a ‘Special Place’ in Mounts Bay, Cornwall, called Lamorna Cove. The fishing villages of Penzance, Newlyn and Mousehole and Lamorna Cove, were colonised in the 19th. Century by artists who painted in the ‘Open Air’ scandalising people with their Bohemian way of life. Since my life changed dramatically in 1991 when he died, I have never been back to that ‘Special Place’ as I prefer to keep the memories in a private compartment in my mind. I have ... more
