Dawlish Warren Park Holidays Dawlish sands.

[Tortoise]

Have you been there?
Trying to find out what it is like.

Or have you been to Hazelwood holiday park? Reviews are not too good so i need someone who has been to give their opinions.

Bumpety Bump!

No one answers any of my threads.

We went to Dawlish Warren many years ago and had a great time. Not recently tho, so it's probably not much help.

Thanks.
Did you stay at either of these parks?
I guess the park doesn't matter so much when there is a beach so close.

Dawlish is a bit grim IMO

It's very erm... arcades and fat naked men with beer

imvho

Do you have any other options?!

Aw I have just looked at your profile - what a lovely pic!

Actually, for your 4 kids, Dawlish would be fine

Not that you are a fat beer-drinker, but they are not toddlers so will probably just enjoy racing around making friends on the sands all day

Thanks MP . That was taken 2 yrs ago at Haven!
Well, i am fat lol! And i do prefer beer to wine!
Only other options really are exmouth(Never been here either) or Weymouth (again!) Has to be near a train station because i don't drive.

I have been to a holiday park in Dawlish called Welcome. It was nice. Dawlish is an ok place as a base. Huge beach. Kids loved it. There is a chav factor but not as much as other places. I have unwisely been on holiday e.g Great Yarmouth.

Is Hazelwood not quite far from the beach from memory?

Thanks Hedgehog. Welcome looks nice too. And around the same price. Have sent off for a brochure.
Yes i think Hazelwood is close to the beach. Looks like welcome is pretty close too. Any ide if it is walking with luggage (and 4 DC!) distance?

Exmouth is lovely. Loads to do both beach and in the town. Used to go there quite a bit when we had family living down that way.

I actually really liked the beach at Dawlish Warren, but not sure how easy it is to get to other places there if you don't drive.

Thanks tutu.
Have looked into transport and there are trains to Dawlish and Exeter.
Also 15th Aug is carnival week in Dawlish which includes a free air show on the 20th. Kids would enjoy that and i love the word 'Free'!

Welcome is a walk not far. I had a little toddler in a buggy and a 3 year old and it did not seem a trek (can't get my head round 4 kids as now have 3 and seems a tribe!). I think because of the way it is laid out there are no parks right next to the beach. It is very close to shops and restaurants etc.

Thanks.
We are used to walking a lot but short walk is better with all our luggage!
