Advantages: Caravan was good. Entertainment Staff were friendly and very good.

Disadvantages: Tiny indoor swimming pool. Everywhere was filthy. No Security.

Within 10 minutes of arriving at Sandford Weststar Holiday Park I was on the phone to Hoseasons asking to be moved. There were 6 in our party; Myself, Hubby and 2 kids (6 and 12) and my parents. To be fair to Hoseasons, they did offer to refund us the money and let us go home, but everywhere in the area was full, and you can't disappoint the kids can you?

The restaurant was filthy and the cutlery was dirty - had to request clean knives!! The whole site was permanently littered with beer bottles, rubbish and bins overflowing.

I wouldn't let my kids near the outdoor pool as it looked disgusting. There are no real play areas or even green areas for the kids to play - its all roads and caravans.

We had to complain about several things throughout the week, including water leaks in the caravans, door knobs falling off, blinds broken and curtains falling off. The twin beds for the kids were about a foot wide, which was not great for my 12 year old.

One of the nights there was a nasty fight outside the takeaway area with lads kicking each other in the face. Unfortunately, by the time the security guys arrived it was all over, but it was not a nice experience at a family site. I get the feeling all the local teenagers just come in every night for something to do, as no-one ever checked our passes, so anyone could walk in.

I would never go there again, and we even came home a day early because we had had enough - even the kids wanted to go home. We spent every day out of the camp driving around because we couldn't bear to spend time on the site.

Summary: Would never go there again.
