Bunn Leisure Holiday Village, Selsey, West Sussex

We have been going to Warners Farm Bunn Leisure Selsey for 18 years or so. NEVER AGAIN !!!! They have too many caravans and people for the entertainment. I payed £60 for a pass, but that was wasted, as you had to get into a 160 foot queue, going through amusments up to bar. I went to get a seat, but no chance. Also since new owners, they now charge for all children activity clubs, nothing is free. If you have a couple of children? I suggust you take out a mortgage, believe you will need it. They have closed off seafront car park and put a surf ride in place, also a mini golf course you could fit in my front room. You used to be able to see the sea from bar, but this has now been screened off. Taking pool tables from amusments, and replaced with more machines, as I suppose machines make more money than pool tables. IT IS ALL ABOUT MAKING AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE.

I had a lovely caravan, but this did not make the holiday any better. Every day we saw at least two new caravans being sited. NEVER AGAIN.

Closed popular fish and chip shop. Closed grocery shop in amusments.

Nothing in place for covid. Club house had a bad smell... Granddaughter caught diarrhoea and sickness Son and grandson caught covid would never go back there. Was meant to go last year due to lockdown was unable changed dates for this year was charged another 200.00 each caravan because we had to change dates of no fault of our own wouldn't recommend caravan not very clean prices are very expensive food wasn't good burgers in restaurants where not good

We arrived 14th May 2020 and booked to stay until 24th may,we were not told nothing would be open until the 17may,we were in our caravan number 28at Green lawns in boulevard.

On 17th May 2020 we went to the Embassy club to watch a show there was a very strong smell of urine coming from the men's toilets ot could be smelt in the hall,I told someone they said it was coming from underneath and was being dealt with,the smell was still there 2 days later.

The application for Embassy club kept coming up for the smoky bar,covid instructions were not being followed properly,children were running everywhere instead of being with their parents.

There was a quiz night boys against girls with the staff,staff were jumping over the barriers running around like lunatics only going to one table to get answers to the musical quiz no though for health a d safety or people's safety with regards to covid and not giving other people a thought to answer the questions,also people near the barriers often had to move as the staff were jumping.

Drink orders were getting muddled and taking up to 45 minutes to arrive,

The show was made awful with music drowning out performers and mike's crackling and giving feedback.

On the18th May 2020 asleep in our caravan we were woken to rumbling machinery,and cultivators down in Boulevard green lawns digging outside opposite our caravan,we asked what the hell was going on and was told trees and plants were being planted around the site,we were not told of this happening at all the machinery was bulky and noisy we had to shut the doors and caravan windows and could still not hear our stereo or TV.

The company ems were being used,we could not use our balcony due to blue dust from the blue marking chalk blowing in the wind.then they were outside our bedroom window early the next morning,surely this could have been done during lockdown,it made us miserable and want to go home,but as we had paid up till the 24th May we had to stay or loose money.

There is not much on the sight for adults only 45 minutes shows and bingo on the 18th May 2020 we went to the Lido bar we managed to order drinks via the app on the table leaving a message to the kitchen for no ice in any drinks,we were table number 225,still the barman got all the drinks wrong and it was not busy at all.

We then went upstairs to the Whitehorse Theatre to pay bingo,our table 546 was unlevel,told a member of staff who said they would sort it,the barman came with our drinks and split the shot drink over the table,my husband and his bingo book,he apologised and said he will be back with a new book,cloths and drinks,20 minutes later my husband we t to get some beer mats and blue tissue to clean and stabilise our table,it was another 15 minutes before the barman came back,

There is only a fish and chip shop and papa John's take away onsight not everyone like these takeaways we went of sight 5 minutes and found a Chinese takeaway and kebab shop,why can't their menus put put in the caravan along with the pizza and fish and chil shop ones,apparently the manager will not permit these leaflets on his sight.

My uncle had a bad back and asked at time of booking for a mattress cover,when ask at the office they said use a duvet from the sofa bed in the front room.

20th May 2020 At the Whitehorse for bingo there were kids being noisy and running around while the caller was calling,he should have stopped and ask the parents to control the children or leave,table 515 made a tap before the caller called the number out as it came up on the screen,my uncle ended up doing a false call as the kids were calling out numbers,he called up on number 57 but it was a kid called the number not tje caller.

22nd May 2020 At the Whitehorse Theatre for bingo and it was packed and e tremely noisy,kids were running around around screaming etc,the lady caller did say can we quieten the noise please,doi g a shushing sound,it was so hard to hear we got up and went back to our caravan.

I am disabled I found it extremely hard to get around the sight,if you hire the golf cart etc its just for an hour,a daily or weekly scooter hire would be great,the doors are very heavy to open so automatic ones should be put in.

Most activities are for children with pools and activities being booked in advance so many people wait days for their kids to get on activities.Bunn leisure need to look at activities for outside the sight during the day for adults to do and add leaflets to their caravans.We would not recommend this holiday unless you have kids and a lot of money to spend.

Overall we had a miserable holiday,the weather did not help and not being told about the machinery,The holiday was booked by my uncle.

I took my grandchildren for a 5 day break I was totally misled by who I booked the van off. I was told passes were 50 to be told when I arrived they were 93 also I was told it was 50 deposit to be now to it was to secure the date to say I won't be using this person again is an understatement totally disappointed the van was dirty also needed to clean it if it wasn't for the activity on site we would have came home I have booked diect with bunn before so knew it was a good place for kids

August 19 - 26 2017.

Private hire

After reading the reviews for the West Sands Caravan Holiday Park and looking at the history of the beach I booked our annual holiday here!

We booked a private caravan which I thought had a balcony but did not and I thought it was close to the beach, it was not but a smashing caravan though, if not a little close to everyone else.

The centre has little for the children, it is an arcade with a uninspiring pool, and there is a tiny park in the middle of the caravans. The evening entertainment I am unable to comment on as we don't like the idea of paying £80 for the week to have to que up from 5pm to get seats as the bingo people hog them from then. We never saw a mascot even though it is peak season.

There is no outdoor pool. There is a fun fair, which from 12.00 to 5.00 you can pay £10.00 per person to go on unlimited rides, which they don't have enough staff for so you have to go to the rides which they call you to or supervise the rides for young children yourself, which is no biggy and the kids loved it. The concession stand with burgers and, hot doh nuts is very reasonable at £2.50 for a burger and they are large and very good.

They have 2 shops on site which are not too badly priced and Asda is only 1 mile down the road. The chip shop cost £28.00 for 4x chips 2x 10 nuggets, 1x chicken burger and 1 x fried chicken, we paid less at a restaurant with deserts.

There is hardly anything in the town except sweet shops and bakeries and cafe's.

The beach is stunning, but not sand it it shale and stone and not kept clean, the water is very clean though. Quite wavey when the wind is up so not brill for toddlers.

On arrival, there was a que out the door to sign in but the staff were friendly and helpful, on the private hire side, they were unprofessional and well fed up on the site booking side.

My car was damaged while we were parked near our caravan. I was a garden length away from us and never moved all week. A car could not have hit it as the damage was done on the grass facing side up a step. The only thing that could have done the damage was the site vehicles which the gardeners use and the ride on lawn mowers. They did not own up to the chunk taken out of the rear corner of my bumper and there are no camera's to prove what had happened. I did report it but nothing could be done and I just got an apology, but then what else could they do other than hire honest staff?

To be fair if the weather had been better for the first half of the week the lack of facilities would not have been an issue but it is important if you have little ones to entertain. The WIFI is £4 per hour and only in certain areas so that is no help either.

It's nice for a short sunny beach visit but I would not recommend it for a full holiday.

I have not had my holiday yet but I had a couple of problems and rang to see if they could help me in any way and they were absolutely fantastic, they went above and beyond to help me and I cannot thank them enough, I am now looking forward to my holiday as if the rest of the staff are as helpful as the office staff it will be a brilliant holiday, will write again after my holiday

Dirty filfy place money grabbing holiday camp should be reported to someone or better still. closed! Flea pit

if you are thinking about buying a caravan think of the good times you are about to have.but think again, fees go up each year gas & electric checks not cheap,painting underseal every 2 or 3 years, insurance , all adds up. Bunn have a good site entertainment good, drink prices same as selsey village which is not excactly cheap shops keen prices.we had 5 good years plenty of fun & laughs we sold back to bunn they gave use the bare minimum for the van. Down side we had to badger to get some repairs done under guarantee and i mean badger. would we do it again no.

Live in Selsey visit it with my son when it is open and thoroughly enjoy the Entertainment which is available. Never had any problems with any of the Staff. Food very nice and enjoy all the games. Recommend Bunn Leisure to everybody

Worse holiday park I have ever stayed at the staff are so rude and do not give a dam they just want your money the swimming pool staff are the rudest people I have every came across the way they speak to you they need to go on a training course the park is a mess and u have to keep on at the staff to clean things some of the vans have seen better days there are better parks to stay at for what this park charges be warned!
