Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) A below par stay

Hello,

I am sending this email in regards to a stay we had at Sandford holiday park recently. We stayed in the lodge S8, Chestnut Avenue from 16-23 July. Our booking number was 872994.

As so many people we booked a lodge this year as we wanted something a little more special for our main holiday instead of a usual cheaper caravan stay. Unfortunately this is not what we got. When we initially walked in, it looked great, spacious and clean. However, it was not long until we started to notice many issues.

The shower in the en-suite was not working. The toilet in the en-suite did not flush as it should, the fan in the main bathroom did not work and the bedding in the master bedroom smelt foul. There were many essentials missing from the kitchen ie no tin opener, no roasting tin, only two drinking glasses. The Pyrex dishes were also greasy and clearly had not been cleaned properly. There were no toilet brushes in either the bathroom nor the en-suite. Certainly not the luxury we thought we paid for.

After several attempts to call reception we finally got through to report the issues only to then not hear anything back for a day or so. We then went to reception in person only to be told they had no record of the complaints so we had to report again. The only issues that were rectified on the day after that were the en-suite shower and the bedding.

Also when my two young children were playing on the grass next to our lodge in their sandals we discovered a huge amount of cigarette butts (we don't smoke) and a lot of broken glass including two whole bottle bases on the grass. Please see the attached pictures. This is not only unhygienic but dangerous.

We have been to many Parkdean resorts in the past including this one and never previously had any issues. It's very unfortunate and disappointing that when we paid extra for the luxuries of a lodge holiday, we encountered all these problems and inadequacies.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Kind regards

Joe Burgoyne

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) Sandilands holiday park in general

1. Friday
We arrived after a 6 hour drive to find the concert room was full and the convenience shop was closed. Unable to purchase t/roll as none provided.
2. Saturday Went to the chip shop and came away after we saw the exorbitant prices... we thought it was a joke.
3. Sunday We were unable to regulate the heating in the caravan.
4. Monday Ran out of gas. Birthday trip to Loch Lomond ruined as we had to wait in all day for a heating engineer, no shower, no cooking, no hot water and were advised that the thermostat was faulty and the man on site said the electrician would come the next day as Monday was his day off.
5. Tuesday. Waited again and no electrician but by then the caravan was either freezing cold or boiling hot.
6. Wednesday Finally went to concert room where we found you needed a mortgage to buy bingo tickets and the cash machine had a withdrawal charge of £1.86.7. Thursday At reception we were asked ; how you finding it so far and we said it was the worst site we had stayed on... her reply was... sorry about that. We wanted to go to the beach but with one of our party being disabled, it was impossible to cross the bridge although on the map there was no train line showing.
8. Friday Never been so glad to go home and having been to several of your resorts previously, this one leaves a lot to be desired, so to this end I request a refund for the worst holiday ever.

Desired outcome: As above

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) refund

This company is a joke. My mother in law booked a holiday break with the family, however, she has sadly passed away recently. We have contacted Parkdeans joke customer services on numerous occasions. I then sent a copy of the death certificate as requested but received no response from them. Finally after ringing for over a week spoke to someone in customer services who stated they had not received the e-mail. However, I had an auto response stating they had received. However, I again forwarded the certificate and again no response from them. I managed to get a web chat with customer services as again their telephone are stated as "unmanned at the moment" and they stated that they are going to keep 80% of the holiday cost as a cancellation fee. This is on top of the death of my mother in law and causing stress for hard working families who have struggled to finance a holiday. This company is shameful and I would avoid making a booking with them at all cost, just look at the reviews and I am not the first. I am going to make as many people aware of this company as possible.

Desired outcome: refund

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) Parkdean Resorts Romney Sands

To whom this may concern,

RE: Booking reference - 8354287

I am writing to complain about our recent stay at Romney Sands Holiday Park. I very rarely and cause or the time to complain, with two young children but I feel I have to make time to provide feedback so that other guests' stays can hopefully be better. I'm sorry to say, we were incredibly disappointed with the accommodation and the service we received at Romney Sands. We fully appreciate the strain you must be under with all the COVID restrictions, to still provide family breaks but there are certain standards that should still be met. And in terms of cleanliness, standards that are even more important to be met.

Our accommodation was on the first floor which made coming and going with a pram very difficult. I'd have like to have been made aware of this before we arrived or given the choice of a ground floor. The entrance to the property was very dirty and full of cobwebs.

As we walked in we first saw the wobbly, unsecure freestanding and BROKEN bookcase, which we had to move immediately into one of the bedrooms to stop our toddler from climbing up and and pulling it down on himself or falling through the broken shelf. In the kitchen there was only one working plug socket. Meaning we had to chose between kettle/toaster/microwave to use at any one time.
The doors to the bedrooms and bathroom were so difficult to open, they were completely stiff and needed force to open, meaning our daughter couldn't just take herself off to the loo as she usually does. They also made a horrendous noise when we did manage to get them open.
The towel hook on the bathroom door was hanging off, the toilet was dirty, the dust level on the pipes and floor was unacceptable.

In the kitchen we arrived to dead flies all over the window sill. The fridge door did not close properly so our milk and butter got warm and inedible. There were no cooking utensils fit for purpose, the sharpest knife in the drawer struggled to cut grapes for my youngest. The pots in the drawer were all filthy and clearly hadn't been cleaned since their last use. It's misleading to advertise ‘self catering' if you cannot cook a meal with the equipment provided. The kitchen bin was tiny and overflowing after 2 days.

We had dinner in the boathouse restaurant on our first evening and unfortunately, it was awful. The food was cold, took a long time to arrive and was of poor quality and the service was quite shocking. I asked for some bread and butter 4 times before it eventually arrived, and asked for a small bowl for my toddler literally 6 times, eventually giving up and feeding him from a cup lid I had in my bag.

Again, I appreciate the extra steps you're all having to take and the added procedures you're having to follow but it doesn't feel as though you were ready to open and operate the holiday park.

The swimming sessions of 45 minutes really are not long enough, they needed to be at least an hour, especially considering there is not much else to do indoors when the weather is poor.

We booked this as a budget, last minute week to the seaside for the children given the unpleasant year we've all had, and although we didn't spend an incredible amount of money to come here and were under no illusion about the limitations considering the cost, it was still over £300 which is a lot of money to us and we really don't feel our stay was worth anywhere near that amount in all honesty.

Please see photos attached.

We are really reluctant to use Parkdean again which is a real shame.

I'd appreciate a response with your comments.

Many thanks.

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) Unfair cancellation of holiday.

In February I booked a holiday with Parkdean Resorts booking number 7953372, I paid most of the funds due leaving just £51.73 to pay. Payment was due on 21st August and on the 20th I went to the companies site to pay the balance owing and I believed the whole payment had gone through, however unknown to me for some reason only £10 had been paid. I know that I had put in the full amount so I have no idea what happened here, I have asked my bank to check but they could find nothing. I received a booking confirmation and because I believed the payment had been made I paid no attention to it. On the 24th August I received a message marked important notice. This advised me my holiday was cancelled and all funds lost due to non payment. I have called them and was told they will see what they can do and I must wait for a week, Nobody will help me, I emailed the chief exec and every address at Parkdean but all I am getting is a holding email. I need to know what is happening and I will have to pay funds to my sister who was coming with us so my losses will be more than just the holiday cost. I have been on Facebook and Money Saver Expert sites and find I am not alone there are many others who have been cancelled without any contact from Parkdean. Why would I just pay £10 the day before full payment is due? They are ignoring my emails, I really would like my holiday reinstated which was to be taken on the 18th September at Coopers Beach Mersea Island and will happily pay the difference owed plus any fee for reinstatement of the holiday.

Kind Regards
Mrs Sandra Evans

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) Cancellation

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you to make a complaint and express how disappointed and defrauded I feel because of your action in regards to my holiday cancellation.

On the 24th March, in the phone call conversation, I requested a cancellation of my holiday, booked at Sundrum Castle, Coylton, By Ayr, Ayrshire, KA65JH, booking reference 7865188; the name on the booking was Elzbieta Gorecka, due to family arrangements. As you see the cancellation was made four months before my holiday was due, so I was expecting to get a full refund, minus the deposit and an administration fee.The customer adviser however, told me that I will receive 50% of that amount, which was weird, but still acceptable, although I don't know how can you act against your own cancellation policy.

In your Terms and Conditions in regards to cancellations, it clearly states:
Because we incur costs in cancelling your booking, if you do not have cancellation cover protection, you will have to pay cancellation charges as follows:

Number of days prior to arrival that cancellation notification is received:
Cancellation Charge as a % of total holiday value
More than 70 Days - Full standard deposit (if you have paid a discounted deposit you will also need to pay an amount up to the standard deposit) plus administration fee
70-57 days - 60%
56-29 days - 80%
28 days or less - 100%

Because I was cancelling far before 70 days before my holiday was due, I was expecting to get a refund; 50% of what I paid is high for an administration fee, but I was even more shocked when I received an email from you telling me that my holiday was cancelled with NO REFUND DUE !

See the copy of that email:

Your booking number: 7865188
Holiday park: Sundrum Castle

Dear Mrs Gorecka,
With reference to the above booking, please be advised your holiday has now been cancelled with no refund due.

If you have any queries please email [protected]@parkdean-resorts.com where a Customer Service Advisor will be happy to help or to see our full terms and conditions click here. Our operating hours are Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm.

Kind Regards

How does this work? Your actions are absolutely disgusting. It's a robbery and a rip off. You have taken over £200 of me and did not refund me even a penny back. This is an absurd.

Also in you Coronavirus Advice section it states:
'Bookings from 15th of May

At present, we're planning to reopen our parks from the 15th of May, subject to government guidance. If you still wish to cancel your holiday ahead of this, please note, it will be subject to standard cancellation terms.'

It looks like my cancellation was done unfairly and I should receive a refund.

Therefore, I request you to revise your decision immediately and pay me back what it was supposed to be paid, which is about £200, after deducting the deposit and an admin fee if you want.

You can be sure, I will do my best to make your disgusting actions a public knowledge by informing Tripadvisor customers, media if necessary and will use all other possible ways of spreading the word.

I expect my money back as soon as possible with formal apologies from you.

I look forward to hearing from you. You can contact me by responding to this email or by telephone: [protected].
Yours faithfully
Elzbieta Gorecka

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) holiday not what we paid for.

Well what can I say about Thorness bay apart from this STAY WELL CLEAR OF THIS HOLIDAY PARK AND COMPANY.

We stayed in Caravan 43 in solent Village. They stayed this was a GOLD Caravan.

We the outside and I side doesn't show it to be GOLD. (Judge for yourself).

I wouldn't recommend eating in the bar unless you have a big wallet and are prepared for poor quality of food. Their food comes from 3663 and is ALL Frozen. Not fresh at all. We had a full refund on the food and didn't eat the food.
the so called chip shop serves frozen chips and frozen fish but they don't do anything else that you would expect to see if a chip shop. This is not worth the money. £2.70 for a small cone of chips.

We checked in online the 13th July 2019 and made an official complaint on the 14th July 2019 to Guest Management.
Our complaint was heard and listened to by sitems management but was not forth coming when we needed things sorted or wanted them to be sorted prior to our arrival and Early Check in which we paid for as an extra for a fee of £25.00

The complaint for this company is now ongoing with their Head office and the IOW Torness Bay Holiday park.

We have been offered a small fee of £60 refund of which we feel this is an insult to what we paid to have the holiday given the inconvience that our family had to endure during our stay.
The Caravan was meant to be GOLD, well this is what they say, but I would hate to see what their basic holiday homes are like.
We have had broken dining table chairs, dirty floors and cupboards. Dirty doors and radiators. Broken lights which are still awaiting repair.

We have now forwarded our complaint to Head office and Traiding Standards and Environmental Health as our complaint did not just involve the hygiene of the Caravan but also the park and the pricing structure as the home we had is not that of a gold standard. But they wete also selling the same holiday for this same week at a reduced price to what we booked and paid for in January of 2019.
I guess its each to their own on standards of a holiday, but in our opinion the pictures don't show that of a GOLD standard holiday home.

I will upload our videos and 275 pictures showing the mess of the park and the holidays homes they rent out.
We had a cleaner come back to our caravan to conduct a Deep Clean, they have not completed their offer as the Caravan is still dirty in places and areas have still not been cleaned when we was told they would be.
A Deep Clean includes everything on the Caravan inside and out. And this has still not been done.

Be prepared to clean your caravan when you go to this place. The cleaners don't know what cleaning is or looks like.
Everyone be warned!

Family's please also watch our for the speeding little 4x4 quads they use and the old vans hey have around.
the speed limit is 10mph but they have total disregard for the rules of the site.
This was also reported to the site management.

. After check in @ 1pm reported 2 broken chairs within the holiday home - maintenance attended after 1hr - 1.5hrs and fixed them with screws

· The cleanliness within the accommodation was not satisfactory - eg, exterior dirty, moss around the outside and the roof contains grass. The bathroom was not clean, mirrors had smears/fingerprints - glasses in the kitchen are dirty - Food still in the plughole. Long hairs on the carpet picked up by guests daughter. Curtains not staying up well.

· Site looks worn

· Buggies driven very fast around park exceeding the 10mph speed limit, by staff

· Leak under kitchen sink and shower tray not draining properly

· Complex given wrong information on where the cashpoint was resulting in guest having to go to the shop only to find the cashpoint was in the complex

· Cash point claims it charges £1.75 per transaction when it actually charges £1.85

· Was advised by Central office that we had an outdoor pool, we do not

· Pool not big enough for site, tiles mismatched and grout dirty

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) sandylands saltcoats

Myself and family recently stayed at this park, this was a treat for my mother in laws eighth birthday, so we had a few minor issues but our main complaint is the problem with the electric on site and the rude attitude of most staff, so on Friday the third of May (our first night ) at ten thirty our electric went off leaving darkest and no heating or water in -3 conditions, My wife phoned the security number, and also spoke to other caravan residents, who also had issues, they person on the phone told me they where dealing with it, so on Goes the electric, it then goes on and off until at eleven thirty it stays off, fed up and tired we wrap blankets around and sleep in clothing, it gets colder and colder, within the caravan we have my mother in laws whose eighty and asthmatic, and my niece who is 8 month's pregnant, so two vulnerable people.so at six o'clock, My wife phoned security again, this time is out at our caravan, she found this man to be rude and arrogant, he said we had too much stuff on, (fire, kettle, TV, all provided by park dean), My wife tired to explain that it was all caravans in that area, the man started shouting you didn't listen to me on the phone and you are not listening to me now, My wife asked if he thought this was a nice manner talk to a customer?, and asked if he was employed by park dean? He said no in a sarcastic manner and point to his park dean badge, She asked for his name and told him she would complain, he then said i am Stevie and I will see you at reception at nine, this was said as a threat, after this until around ten a.m the electric went on and off, we complained at reception and asked to moved caravan as no one was aware if the electric would be fixed, I was told no, I also complained regarding the security guard, the staff was disinterested and said the electrician was in way, so after ten thirty and another visit from security who this time blamed the kettle, finally electric is on, we manage to have Sunday as a day with all facilities working, Monday (our check out day) out goes the electric around eight thirty, we have no hot water for washing, no facilities for making breakfast, no heating yet again, the weather was very cold but the sun was out so not as cold as Friday, so my wife and my sister in law go to inform reception regarding problems we are having, first girl is very disinterested and they ask if they are not going to offer anything, even a cup of tea? The girl said no she can't do that and they ask for the manager, other girl at desk says she's is the manager they tell her our problems, first she says she doesn't know anything about the problem with electric on Friday, and tell her they have complained regarding security, Stevie's attitude, she then agreed with Stevie that it was probably our own fault, after challenge on this she changes her mind but says it's one of they things over and over, she agrees finally that we can't check out until electric is fixed and let's us stay in longer, they suggested that maybe as courteous we should be offered something, she said like what? My wife asked for breakfast and she agrees, she then offers money off a future holiday with park dean but is quite rude saying if we take it we have no further right to complain, and that she dealt herself with all complaints anyway, so we declined, We also will be very unlikely to use park dean again, customer service is shocking from all employees, except Angela (housekeeper) who was the only park dean employee who was willing to listen, we have not had what we paid for except on Saturday and would ask we are refunded for the lack of facilities, we also ask that staff are given customer service training refresher as the let park dean down badly.

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) park resorts disgraceful business practices

My father owned a Caravan on a Park Resorts site. Neither my sister or I wished to keep the caravan so we attempted to settle any outstanding fees and sell the caravan. For a year and after several repeated attempts to get a settlement fee in writing Park Resorts would not agree in writing to allow us to settle. We were told verbally that we owed £3k, then £5k, they are now demanding £11k and have offered £50 for a caravan worth £3k.
They have purposely refused to settle in writing in an attempt to extort further fees. They have attempted to take advantage of my father's passing and are the most disgraceful organisation I have ever encountered. Charlatans, thieves and liars.

I did have a lodge a few weeks ago, technically it's still mine. then early Monday morning I woke up my daughter and grand children to get out as my daughter car, my car and lodge was set on fire a arson attack and intent to kill.
My neighbors ran out tried their best eventually the fire brigade turned up and ran out of water and my property needs tearing down
I have insurance and it's going through, the owner is charging me £20.000 to demolish and take it away. Plus my home was up for sale.
I paid ten percent when I brought it and the park homes wanted another ten percent if I sold it...I'm homeless with my two cats renting privately..

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) rented caravan holiday

Booking reference Im contacting you to see if you can help with my complaint about my holiday at crimdon dene on 14th september 2018. We booked one of your quite expensive caravans with ensuite bedroom and a varanda. On arival we put our belongings into the caravan and went to get sone shopping then went to the complex. We returned to our caravan and were quite tired so went to bed. My 10 year old daughter started coughing quite badly during the night. She has inhalers so i gave her them but they didnt work very good which has never happend before. We got up on the morning and opened the curtains and inediately saw dust around the fire so we started to look more closely at the caravan. We saw dust at the tops of the beds allover the wooden furniture all over the cooker hood. The shower room was dusty. Then right above the bed where my daughter slept there were loads of cobwebs. The kitchen bin looked like it hadnt been cleaned in weeks. I complained to reception, they sent someone to clean the caravan but after looking at it she said it wasnt possible as it was so bad so they gave us another caravan which was a cheaper caravan with no ensuite nit as wide and no veranda. We had to pack all our things together and transfer to another caravan which was a big inconvenience. My daughters coughing just went from bad to worse. I ended my holiday after 1 day and went home with my daughter as I thought she would be better at home as we have air purifiers there which are great when asthma has veen irritated badly due to dust. My daughter was a little better at home but had to see a GP on the monday morning where she was prescribed ventolin inhaler and a breathing chamber. She has lost 4 days at school and had to use the chamber constantly for 4 days. I would like to be refunded for the caravan and hopefully use the money to take my daughter out some places to make up for the holiday she lost out on and for how poorly she was made through no fault of our own. I took photos of the inside of the caravan. Im hoping you can help me if not I will have to look where to take this further.

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) water and bin collection

We have been on Todber Valley Gisburn site for nearly 4 years now and enjoyed our time here.
Unfortunately this month has been horrendous.
We were without water for nine days ! from 10.12.2017 to 19.12.2017.
No bottled water was provided and no standpipe.
We could not shower, use the washing machine or dishwasher. The toilets would not flush so after 9 days it was unbearable.
As there was no information when the water would be back we booked into a hotel which cost us £100 for the night. ( very expensive for a shower don`t you think) as well as all the bottled water we had to buy.
The water went off again NEW YEARS EVE. Unbelievable. It came on in the evening but unfortunately too late for us, so had to cancel our plans.
Would like compensation and an apology. Happy New Year . Ours was ruined.

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) caravan fees rip off...

Bought a caravan at Southview leisure Park in Skegness, previously operated by Park Resorts. Now Parkdean resorts. The fees have gone up over £1000 in the 3 years I have owned the caravan, now asking £508 a month. I can rent a house for that. Was not told about these huge unjustified fee rises when buying the caravan. I enquired about selling after saying I refused to pay £508 a month and was told they would offer me just £1000 to buy back a caravan I paid £12000 for 3 years ago. They are retailing similar caravans for around £10, 000. Also the caravan is still under finance with around £5000 still owing after being advised to finance over 7 years by sales person at time of purchace. Now been told I cannot sell privately until the finance is settled and they want 15% commission of any private sale. So it will cost me money to get rid of it or I pay the £508 a month until I can find a buyer... Absolute disgrace and entrapment of customers.

There is now an action group that is seriously making some noise about the Parks and how they act:

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) 2 static caravans

We purchased 2 static caravans from Park resorts at Southview in April 2014 for approx. £19500 from inheritance from parents. The idea was too use the caravans to rent out to holiday makers to provide income throughout the year. The first and second years were fairly ok and a small profit was made after paying site fees to Park resorts.

At the end of the 2 years we owed a balance of @ £1500 in respect of site fees and were unable to clear these due to change of circumstances with work and bad health.

We tried to sell caravans but at that time had no interest and the site did not make any offer to buy them back. In view of use unable to clear the debt they passed our case for legal action and took possession of caravans and content's .

Park resorts obtained 3 valuations and were only able to sell both caravans for £1150 with us still owing £4500 which we are now paying at £30 per month.

We are investigating further and find it very difficult to understand that 2 caravans worth @ £20k are not even worth 10%, 2 yaers later.

Parkdean Resorts (formerly Park Resorts) Removing my caravan

Last year in january I had an accident and was unable to work due to this. As a result I informed park resorts of this due to not being able to pay my pitch fees. They informed me that I could pay half and then pay the rest monthly. I then managed to get the money to do this but was then told it was too late and the fees had to be paid in full. At this time I was still not working and kept in touch trying to sort the problem out but I was then informed in may by a friend that my caravan had been moved from the pitch it was on. When I went to see about it I found that they had broken into my caravan and removed it. I had quite a few personal belongings outside the caravan which had gone missing and also had my belongings inside the caravan. The manager told me that they had notified me of this but I told him that I had not received anything from them. He then told me that the caravan was being sold the following week. I asked if I could retrieve my belongings to which he said yes. When I got to the caravan everything inside was on the floor and there was quite a bit of damage to both the outside and some of the items inside.
I then left and complained to them and their head office about the way I had been treated but got no reply from their head office. I have now been receiving letters and emails from a debt collection agency saying that I owe nearly £3000. They sent me an email on 8/12/2016 and it clearly states in there that they disconnected my caravan in march and also it shows that they are still saying that I owe for pitch fees for the whole year. I have spoken to them and asked what this debt is for and they told me that it is for items outstanding and does not include pitch fees but in the email from december it clearly states in the invoice that they are still charging me the pitch fees and that the caravan was sold in june. I have asked why I am being charged when it is clearly stated in the invoice that the caravan has been sold. Then yesterday I received another email from them saying that they are prepared to drop the amount by almost £1000 to just under £2000 as I have told them that I am still not working and not receiving any income and am awaiting another operation due to my accident and I am currently moving between friends and family to live due to splitting up with my partner last year. All I want is to solve this matter and cannot see how I owe money when park resorts clearly sold my caravan in june
