It's a beautiful place, a family friendly park, the club has good entertainment and the swimming pool is good and has a slide the parks are good there is a park for the older kids and a park for smaller kids and there is a small restaurant and has an arcade
Very good accommodation and perfect location. I really enjoyed the entertainment and swimming pool. Perfect to go for a week or two.
.We only had a long weekend in a gold chalet it was clean and nicely furnished comfortable bed nicely kept site ok bar food entertainment staff did their best with the few of us that were there ,all young and still learning their craft bad choice of songs but still enjoyable. staff were all pleasant.
We have had a lovely holiday beautiful walks and amazing views very nice caravan can't wait to come again
Enjoying our stay, the park is set out nicely with a really good club room. The staff have been helpful and courteous. Would deffinatly come again
It s a shame such a superb location is wasted with a park where the management are unwilling to properly reinvest.
Generally staff around the park are inefficient, rude and less than willing. The property is broadly maintained but true investment opportunities have not been taken up. You re first greeted by what is possibly the most potholed road in the country and is damaging for any car. - things like this are what summarise the lack of investment into the proper maintenance of the park.
A good location and a good value option for families looking to stay in Brixham, but a property with so much more potential and requires attention by John Fowler management.
Built at the top of a VERY steep location.
Woefully signposted. Very difficult to find, with roads so narrow, winding and steep you really don't want to be a faint-hearted driver.
No good for anyone with mobility problems.
Everything is on a slope, or accessible only by steps.
The bus outside the entrance does Not run between 3 & 4pm Monday to Friday.
NOR does it run between 11.45 & 12.45 on a Saturday. ON TOP OF THIS...
There is NO bus AT ALL on Sunday.
From Brixham, the last bus back is at 5pm Monday to Friday.
It is 4pm on Saturday.
No bus on Sunday.
NO Breakfasts served Tues, Wed, Thurs.
Supposed to be available from 9am Fri, Sat, Sun, & Mon.
Not even open.
Have fun folks...
I double dare you.
This is a small park and relaxing park. It was so refreshing to be somewhere where there wasn't so much hustle and bustle.
The arcade is basic and very small (could really do with an update) but we don't spend much time there so that wasn't an issue for us.
The inside and outside pool is lovely. The entertainment room is small and cosy. The entertainment and staff are fab.
The restaurant has nice traditional food but they don't do lunch which is quite disappoing if you don't want to cook and don't want to go off site. Although there are places to eat a short drive away. I'd definitely go back. They have a lovely beach a short walk away.
excellent place open on the first weekend of relaxing lock down. rooms were surgically clean when we arrived and staff polite and professional. pools not open as its indoor/outdoor other than that all good!
When I arrived I had to re-clean half of the motor home as there was still grease all over the top of the cooker, unclean plates, the toaster was dirty, rubbish under the beds and there was a cracked glass on the table.
My 4 year old nagged me to play on the crazy golf course which was near impossible as the course was in such terrible condition, so we just put the ball where we wanted and made up our own rules.
We had a look in the welcome pack which said there was adult entertainment starting at half past 10, which would be fine if it was actually the adult entertainment. Kids were running round everywhere and when I asked about the "adult" entertainment I got told they started it at half past 9,was finished by 10 and they were "obviously" entering the late night entertainment......aka some music from the 90's. While children were still running around.
We had a walk around the outskirts of the park and came across two rather large, very dead rats which by that point were now hairless.
We booked children in for the kayaking in the pool but the kayak wouldn't inflate so they got to float around on inflatable seadoos for 6 minutes each.....yay.
I recommend visiting woodlands, Paignton zoo and the living coasts zoo, but don't stay here.
The view was amazing though, suppose something had to impress me
Had a good time weather was grate clean park caravan was nice dog friendly so good but not a doggy poo bin on the park nice walks but I did ask if there was a park around to take dogs every one said no don't think so on our way back to van after been to beach we seen st Mary's park st Mary st 3 mins from south bay holiday park might come in useful for some one els
I thought the reviews for the park were really unfair. The caravan although older was spotless and we had took the dogs with us for the first time . The staff were friendly . The entertainment was hilarious and the staff could actually sing and dance. The venue is clean and they sell drinkable wine. The shop is well stocked and reasonable. The food was nice. The swimming pool is lovely. There is plenty of places to walk the dogs and the kids club is awesome .
Not too far from the town.... Rather hilly walking back though...
Lovely, clean chalet. Alot available for the kids and in a great location to explore the surrounding area. Swimming pool bit cold (for babies) & evening entertainment is okay if you like bingo as it takes up a fair chunk of the evening but didn't put us off. Would return
We have just come back from south bay . We had a great time. The place was great nice and clean staff very friendly helpful. The best we have had from a jonh fowler. We will go back again
Lovely walking places the dog
.
Nothing much on the holiday park, The Entertainment was really bad, Not much for kid's, I would not go back to this holiday park again!
Caravan was dirty, other than that the week was nice, great facilities
Lovely clean caravan, great club, great staff!! Will definitely go again!
Here for the second year, caravan very old and tatty, not impressed! The seats are dirty, carpets broken in places,, so not a good experience.
Had a long weekend break arrived Friday 28th September stayed in 2 bedroom gold caravan E2 excellent. Service by reception first class all in all I would rate this park more than the 5 star's
1 star given as there wasn t a 0 we booked in at the South Bay park for 4 nights mon-fri in a 3 bed caravan on arrival we picked up the keys & information & headed to our caravan out the gate & over the Rocky Mountain road with the amount More
Excellent site very friendly people,will defo be back , the price for a 6 night stay was excellent especially for august, local to all the towns local st marys beach was lovely even better for young kids when tides out very shallow waters, shower blocks were clean and free and hot , would have given 5 stars if the site had more facilities ie play area to occupy the brats
Fantastic place to stay staff great food on the park great and good price
Great place loads to do swimming, playground, bingo, Cabaret, foxy kids club, crazy golf, restaurant and bar etc. Beach close by sharkham point. Our caravan was lovely too. Loads to do Brixham, Paignton zoo, Paignton pier, Torquay, living coast, Exeter. We had an amazing time for our kids first holiday.
fun break the entertainmrnt room and bar refurbished since our last visit, food at the snack bar very nice. lots to do and see in the bay. Brilliant weather helps. Would recommend for famalies with young children
Lovely place to stay only thing that was disappointing was the food place either wasnt open till late or not open they could have got so much more money great place for families
Highly recommended. We have been staying in a budget caravan and its lovely and comfortable. Club house is great. We will be coming back.
