A great stay - better than budget hotel!

Really enjoyed my stay, took me back to nostalgic days....menu was great and more than adequate, friendly staff and clean chalet - with fridge too! Great to hear the hubbub and laughter in the dining area! Floor shows are top notch, too - excellent performers. Thoroughly enjoyed it, will be back!

This was the last season for this particular venue - the site is to close to the public from early 2025 to provide accommodation for 500 workers constructing the Sizewell C nuclear power station. The accommodation was a little 'tired' however the staff worked hard to ensure we had a good stay.

THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL AND THE FOOD WAS COOKED BRILLIANTLY AND SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM, WE HAD A LOVELY WEEKEND AND WOULD GO BACK AGAIN.

DON'T BOTHER !!!

Booked an overnight stay before a music festival at the site, we were told dinner and breakfast were included. When we got there, nothing !! The restaurant , 2 bars and even the shop were shut. So we were stranded in the middle of nowhere with nothing to eat or drink. £11 each way in a taxi just to have some tea. Disgusting. Do not bother. No wonder they are closing down 👇

Awful experience

The resort was advertised as “Adult Only” but when arrived was greeted by unruly children screaming and shouting. The chalet was in a disgusting condition with mould everywhere in the bathroom, the bed linen just thrown on the bed, no hand towels, sink filthy and stale water left in the kettle. The chalet had obviously not been cleaned after the previous occupant. The evening buffet dinner was passable but not very hot. The check in process was an absolute joke. We were so upset with this holiday village that we left soon after our passable dinner on the first night of our two night stay. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Never again

ROOM :- floor dirty, bath only for 3 year olds to use as can’t fit an adult in it, shower cold or to hot, no in between, bed mattress was made of plastic and so uncomfortable we left after 2 days, couldn’t stay there a single day longer. ENTERTAINMENT:- not to bad as it gos, bingo and live entertainment was good so can’t complain there. STAFF:- nice people and always there to help. FOOD:- breakfast was terrible, bacon looked like it was from the day before, didn’t taist good, Dinner was different everyday and to be fair wasn’t that bad, fish and chips and pork belly was decent. POOL:- bloody freezing. WI-FI:- only in club house NO PHONE SIGNAL AT ALL IN ROOMS, normally this isn’t a problem but we needed to keep in contact with the kids so had to keep going to the cliff edge just to get signal. OVERALL:- if your an oap and don’t mind plastic beds and bad food then this is the place for you

I didn’t even go and I’m not happy that your services and that of pakefeild have been totally unprofessional I had good reasons to cancel an rebook and you couldn’t sort it out and I have tried an tried to contact pakefeild numerous times ringing and emails with no response I feel totally let down and yet you are sending me emails asking me how my stay was??? Clearly you can see I didn’t check in as my daughter has been in hospital since Tuesday having a baby! I will never use your services or pakefeild ever again I have had the worse experience ever with you and them! Thanks for nothing and I will be taking this further I feel I have been scammed by you and pakefeild! Regards Gareth innes

A pleasant stay

The chalet was old but the bed linen was spotless. The facilities were good a sink and kettle and microwave and toaster. The bathroom was very tired in appearance but the shower was excellent. The food (buffet style) was very good with lots of choice. The bar staff were very friendly. We were visiting family and this was close by and so convenient for us. Value for money!!!!

The worst stay I’ve ever had - read to the end!

The reception staff were less than interested in providing me with any information including the room number, where it was or any timings for food service, etc. The room was very cold so I turned on the heating in both the bathroom and the main area and it remained on full for the entire night as it did not heat the room up. In the morning there was still condensation on the walls! A noticeable breeze in the room all night as there was a big gap in the front door that allowed winds through. I decided to go for a bath and I dropped a towel on the floor which landed on the skirting board and when I picked it up, there was a dark line on the white towel. I looked around the bathroom and all of the skirting/coving was topped with thick dust and what appears to be pubic hairs! I ran the bath and there was floating scum on the water and all around the taps and top of the bath was dirt and grime. The shower curtain was covered in mould. At the 'restaurant', we waited till past the stated opening time whilst the 2 security guards finished their MacDonalds they had collected prior to opening. Only 1 person ‘serving’ food/slop and she realllly didn’t want to be there! I then made the bed so that I could go to sleep and try to forget about the experience so far! When I got into bed I felt something scratch my arm and on inspection found what can only be described as faeces/poo stuck to the duvet!

A bit tired

The holiday chalets are looking a bit tired. They could do with giving a face lift. Whilst the room was clean and tidy the carpet was very grubby and had lots of stains on it. Every thing else in the room was okay. Food and entertainment was good

(I checked and i can book in before 10pm) And the other people staying there and helped me find a staff but we couldent find any staff .after 15minutes later i go back to the reseption and i gave it another try and i finally got someone to answer and then said inside was very noisiy and didnt apologize and im feeling upset.
