Park Holidays, Marlie Farm

I really like the retail manager. I’m so scared to tell him in person so I did this lol… I’ve liked him for a while but I don’t know how to tell him ….. the place is really good and he runs it so well????

the bed sheets are dirty there was blood on my bed sheets. Waiting in line to get the keys in complicated and there is a long waiting to get the keys. There is barely anything to do on site. They don't make the beds when a new owner comes in. the toilets are tiny and you can barely fit in it. The swimming pool closes by 4 and you can only stay in there for 45min. the park near the pub is tiny and not as advertised. Don't recommend going here.

caravan awful gas fire was broke bathroom window massive gap draughts everywhere in the van on the sunday no kids entertainment owners breakfast asked for a different caravan to be told havent got one awful site please avoid

Worst place to ever go staff in sales are rude only want your money and manager is a alcoholic signed papers smelling of alcohol toiletso are disgusting nothing for children to do would never recommend to anyone just take you for every penny they came get

Staff not friendly at all, the general manager, you could smell alcohol on his breath a owner who just brought caravan recently commented that he smelt of alcohol when signing papers for caravan.there is nothing for children to do and the toilets in stable bar are disgusting very unhygienic would never recommend anyone to go to marlie also sales staff come across so nice just want to get you drunk then once they had your money they couldn't care less

We purchased a caravan on this site last year, and to be honest, we are not overly impressed! I think there should be more for children to do on site, the restaurant needs updating badly! And the toilets are absolutely disgusting! Restaurant table and chairs are dirty! When the lawn is cut, there is literally grass everywhere, I think residents and rentals should be separated, we have heard so many fights and arguments, but they don't care, because they can leave, more and more travellers coming on site too,i would not recommend to buy a caravan on a park holidays site! Save your money!

Children’s entertainment was terrible!

The Loopy and Friends Show was music playing the children could dance to, whilst Loopy walked round the room with one of the entertainment staff to have his picture taken with guests. This session ended with them saying Loopy was tired and had to go, no song or dance, just a wave and gone.

We were told the Krazy Krew would follow in about 5 minutes, again just music no entertainment staff at all, then about 15 minutes later a member of the entertainment team did a dance game with the children.

When we returned home we got an email asking for feedback which we sent, the reply from the site was :-

“ With regards to our entertainment, we operate a programme which is created by Park Holidays “

I again contacted Park Holidays who didn’t even respond.

The accommodation on this park even when you pay for an upgrade is shabby and towards the end of its life. Everything is chipped and damaged, the foam on the seats is lumpy and uncomfortable, the mattress on the bed has springs poking through, one of the curtains was missing in the bedroom and that was just the caravan. There was no adult entertainment even though it was advertised as 'showtime'. Would never come back again and will be contacting the company for my upgrade fee back as a minimum when I return home. Avoid this park at all costs.

Hi All,

Just returned from a weekend away at this camp site sorry but if your looking for a quiet get away avoid at all costs. The clientele at this site allow their children to run riot and if that isn't enough the endless drunken parties continue to 3am with not sight of anyone making sure people are considerate of others.

I have been attending this site as a camper for over 20 years but I'm afraid to say this will be my last trip here it has changed that much and unfortunately not for the better. The site itself was dirty and smelly the endless queues for toilets and showers not acceptable you need more toilets and showers not more stinking Portaloo's. I am saddened to say what once was a nice site to visit has become as my friends who accompanied me put it a hell hole :(

If your looking for 5star, this is not the place for you...If you've booked a bronze caravan and do budget then you cant complain ..

They dont do fancy they do value. Its as basic as it gets, not geared up for a full on activity keep you kids occupied , its find your own entertainment off sight. It works if your prepared to put your feet up and read a book !

The area is lovely with the smallest passenger carrying steam train in the world RH&D. The kids entertainment is about as fun as a melted ice cream so do venture just up the road is Dymchurch with it family fun park, small but fun.

The sight has some really lovely staff whom are aware they are working for such a poorly uncaring company such as park resorts and really do their best for the customers .

The pool is newly built, small and clean and sadly should have been twice its size ..

When you attempt to try out the on sight club house restaurant you will be greeted with struggling staff behind the counter (if your lucky enough to find it open ) whom get flustered with just a microwave pizza on order. The food can be cooked by a real chef if your lucky or maybe the manager lol ! Large orders will be staggered on bringing them out so dont expected to eat a family meal all together ...

My advice is not to pay over the top with gold/platinum caravan book cheap see whats on offer and you wont be disappointed x
