Dawlish Golden Sands

More cooking supply's need to be had as a frying pan and pot and a grill tray is not really ideal especially when you have a large fridge freezer so getting round that was a task. Site and views were amazing

Booked a 4 night off peak stay in a 2-bedroom caravan with decking. Got there a bit early and let reception know, but the caravan wasn’t ready at that point, however they contacted us as soon as it was ready which was before the check-in time of 4pm. Booked in and was allocated a two toilet 3-bedroom caravan with decking and parking space. The van was clean and spacious, full-size fridge-freezer, microwave, hob and oven, propane central heating, all very good. Kitchen had all the utensils required for self-catering including the all-important corkscrew and can opener. There was a very small bottle of washing up liquid in the kitchen but there was a brand-new dishcloth and bin liner provided. Beds were made up and as there was 2 of us, they made up one of the singles as well as the double, a nice touch as no assumptions of being a couple were made. Shower good too. One of the toilets was a little cramped but was fine for me at 5’1”, new toilet rolls in each would have been nice as one was over half used on arrival and there were no additional rolls provided. Although beds were made up towels and tea towels are NOT provided unless you order and pay for them so remember to take them with you.The weather at the beginning of the week was very wet and the steps into the caravan went directly into a big mud patch which flooded making getting in and out of the caravan treacherous and spread water and mud inside which was a real disappointment for the sake of an extra paving slab or two. Noticed some other vans on the site already had this area paved so a bit hit and miss and maybe on the list of things to do. Also, the mat inside the door was curling at the edges which was a trip hazard. There was parking next to our caravan which was good for unloading but I’m not sure there is allocated parking for all caravans.Did not use the pool, restaurant or entertainment venue as was there for a quiet break and not really into swimming. The on-site Wi-Fi was very expensive starting at £7.99 a day which is extortionate so used our own mobile data which was much cheaper as have an unlimited deal for £15 a month. There is also free Wi-Fi in the clubhouse but did not try it.Just be aware that the website says the beach and train station is close to hand, but if you are in a caravan on the far side of the site by reception (which is where most of the non-residential caravans are) the walk is probably almost a mile up and down the site so leave a good 20-30 mins if walking to catch a train.A clean tidy site and caravan which was excellent value with great reception staff, would probably go again.

Would be more homely with dome side lights especially in the bedroom.

Very clean caravan, clean comfortable beds, basic fittings. Heated up lovely perfect for no fuss base for exploring Devon.

Very good rain mostly so not a lot to say

Not very well set out, sleeps 8 but sits 6 !Plastic mattresses which I cannot stand.Not enough parking, some days you have to park a fair distance away. Well heated, nice shower and cooking facilities were good.

We will not return.

Really great caravan and park, kept clean and tidy

The single beds were very narrow, but this is to be expected in a caravan.

Would definitely come back

Definitely will return

The gold plus 2 was great

Cannot comment on restaurant as did not use but other than that our holiday provided what we wanted.

Lovely caravan was spotless and had all that we needed

Really upset ????

Lovely clean and upto date caravan. Best caravan we have ever stayed in

Only had fry pan
Other than that
Was fab

Would definitely recommend this ste to anybody with kids..

Only complaint is the fact the pool closes at 5pm. Other than that nice, clean, well equipped caravan and friendly helpful staff. We didn't use the facilities.

nice relaxing hoilday

Couple of utensils were missing but were very quickly replaced.

Hour and half to book in caravan not ready only two chairs in reception to use and could not stand for too long as chairs where being used but very nice appologetic staff

The fist night was a bit cold the fire did not work and the heating was not working, but the next day I saw Martin the maintenance man passing by who was very helpful, he was on his way to another job but stopped and had a look at the problem the fire needed a new fitting which he sorted out and showed me how to operate the heating overall sorted in half a day 100% satisfaction.
The rest of our stay was just great we all had a fab time.

Fantastic holiday, we didn’t do everything that we planned on doing but we enjoyed it all

Staff very friendly. Fantastic break away

Excellent. Will stay again.

My son didn't want to leave as he had so much fun :)

Lovely and quiet site very friendly staff willing to help

It was a wonderful holiday.

Had a great time

Staff were really helpful

A good base for a holiday incorporating bike, walking and train service. Didn't use the restaurant or swimming pool.

Reception staff lovely and helpful. Especially the blonde hair lady.

Absolutely loved it here, the staff as so very helpful and friendly. The caravans spotless, as are the clubhouse and pool. My only complaint is that the children's play area is not suitable for children under 4, my little boy who is two really wanted to play in ther ruby he couldn't as it was too dangerous. You really need a bit for the younger kids.

Very clean caravan, everything we needed. Unfortunately I was unwell all the time there, so didn't manage to enjoy everything is as we really should have. After visiting hospital I was told to go for a follow up at my local one the next day, so we left very early. I left a note for customer service,in the caravan, stating what happened and that we would love to come back soon. But there was no acknowledgement. Hopefully we can go back and enjoy it fully. The only negative, TV reception was bad. We don't go away to watch TV, but as I was ill...

Very good site, excellent facilities and great staff.

Stayed in the DV caravans and were well equipped but one oddity, there was no teapot, just about everything else but no teapot and we had two caravans and the other one had no pot either. We loved the Bluetooth connection from our phones to the caravan speaker system, a real nice touch and an easy way to stream your music. A very nice site and fully recommended and would have loved to stay for 7 days however with things the way they are today I was lucky to afford 3 nights. Some of the family used the swimming pool with no complaints but bit strange you have to book in advance, a roll over from the Covid days I suppose. We did not use the onsite restaurant so no word on this from us.

Good caravan , helpful staff ,pool good and heated indoors and out, kids loved it

Caravan was spacious and clean. Supermarket less than 5 mins away. Close to beach. Entertainment great for both adults and kids. Swimming pool is partly under cover and water is warm. All round a great place to chill out and also have fun with the activities including bingo if you choose. Great menu in club House and reasonably priced if you choose to eat out.

Great time,fair prices,and nice people.
