Overall this is a nice holiday park, very clean, well kept and not packed in like sardines. We booked privately and overall our caravan was nice although could have been cleaner. Enough to keep you busy for a few days. Indoor pool is so cold and the jacuzzi is no warmer. The cost of food and drink is an absolute joke. The food wasn?t very nice and lukewarm at best. We only ate there once. £3.45 for a coke! £16 for a burger with chips. Beware that although they only accept cash for bingo and that you need cash for arcades that there is no cash point on site and no shop on site. Nearest shop is a 10 minute walk where you can withdraw money from post office when open or request £50 cash back with a purchase. The evening entertainment was ok, children?s entertainment goes on for a little too long, I think they need to find a fairer way to pick which children get to go up. We were only there 3 nights and the same children were getting picked every night, always a bit disheartening for other children. Park is only about a 15 minute walk to the beach. We wouldn?t stay at this park again it?s very expensive to stay at and to eat and drink there. Beaches are beautiful so would stay in local area again.

Just arrived back home after a long weekend at hoburne park. The caravan booked was a dog friendly one, I was overwhelmed by the beautiful caravan we got. It was super clean , lovely balcony, on suite bedroom. The staff were very helpful and friendly. I think other caravan parks should take a look at how this place is run, they might learn a thing or two.

Beautifully maintained park - and the private lodge we stayed in was fabulous. I do have a niggle tho' - the blurb said quiet and relaxing. Unfortunately the lodge was backing onto the main road - so noisy and couldn't sleep more than a couple of hours at night. Just do your research when picking a caravan/lodge.

Such a lovely quiet park, friendly staff, excellent caravan which we were allocated was H16 and enjoyed it immensely. Even tried to pay for an extra night! Wasn?t lucky tho. Will return and thank you.

We enjoyed our stay at Hoburne Park, its not exactly somewhere I'd rave about but we would definitely go back. We booked at premium caravan with a check in of 3pm, upon arrival at 3.25 we were told the caravan still wasn't ready with no apology at all, not the best first impression. When we eventually got in, the caravan was lovely inside, there were a couple of niggles we needed sorting but once these were reported someone came out within the hour. I felt the mattresses were a lot comfier than other caravan parks we've been to. We made the most of the on site facilties, we enjoyed the adventure golf and children's park. We paid for the children to make glow in the dark t shirts and play nerf wars which they thoroughly enjoyed. The outdoor poor was a really good size and a good temperature, this was a really great feature on the park. The children loved the evening entertainment, they had fun playing games each night so this was done really well. From an Adult perspective, the entertainment was ok but drinks were extortionate- even squash costs £1.75! The park is mainly privately owned caravan which i think is why there is very little atmosphere on site, but if you want a relaxing break near the beach then i would recommend here.

We booked one of the new cottages which was tastefully furnished to a high standard and extremely comfortable. The hot tub was used all week although not being able to change the temperature setting to lower was annoying as most days the water stayed between 40-39 degrees which was very hot and unbearable given it was 26 degrees outside. On our last night we visited the Brasserie, Emma was our host and was both knowledgable about the menu and the drinks available, her sunny personality was very welcoming. The food was excellent I recommend the belly pork and the steak was cooked to perfection. We also attended the Trivia night which was very well received by our group and really entertaining. Emma?s welcoming demeanour was copied by the other staff we came in to contact with and I highly recommend this park.

Have been coming to Hoburne Park for the last 3 -4 years, and have never been disappointed. The caravans we have had have always been immaculately clean, in good order, beds very comfy, well equipped caravans. My favourite location was on the Azelea area. The Crazy Golf is good fun, well located, appx 10-15 min walk to large Sainsbury?s. There is a local small supermarket round the corner, however cannot recommend it as the Pizza we bought from it was mouldy, although was in date. The nearest beach is Friarscliffe which is 15-20 min walk, good bus service close by. Great friendly atmosphere, have often spoke to Jack on Reception, a really lovely lad.

A really nice, friendly park. Not too crowded, nice facilities and located 10 mins Walk to the beach, 10 mins walk to the big Sainsbury's & Aldi. There is even a bus stop on site to Christchurch. Smashing park, we love it.

I am shocked to read a small amount of very picky, negative reviews here. I have stayed in parks all over the country and this is the best by far. Highlights were the very comfortable ?select? caravan, the hourly bus that took us to the beach, the incredible children?s entertainment and the outdoor pool area which felt like being abroad. The entertainment complex is spotlessly clean and air conditioned throughout and the caravan itself was immaculately clean. My only complaint is that, when we tried to immediately rebook an identical holiday for August 2024, it was £200 more expensive. However, we can?t wait to return one day. Thank you, Hoburne.

Just back from an amazing week at Hoburne Park stayed in one of the Cottages .Holiday was 5* the accommodation was great the cleanliness of both the cottage and the Park great. Hot tub and games room at the cottage was fabulous .4 days/nights wasnt long enough .The grandchildren enjoyed the arcade, club .Coral Cove , pool outside play area .Grown ups the Bingo even got to win a full house one night Couldn't fault it really only downside would like to see more choice on the menu say Jacket Potatoes instead of chips. Plus side we arrived an hour early and was given our key on arrival .Thank you for that. .Overall a great stay in a lovely quiet friendly park .

Fantastic! We holiday in the UK every year as a family - 4 adults and 2 children under 6 years, we are not strangers to a holiday park so know the general set up of most, however, this was our first time at a Hoburne park, having previously visited other well known holiday parks I can confirm that Hoburne have outdone them all! We stayed in a 3 bedroom select plus on Lavender - the van was clean and tidy although pair of shorts found from a previous guest in the drawers but on the whole well presented, modern and seemed to be new. Lots of kitchen equipment but did not have furniture on the decking as stated when booking, this was a disappointment as it would have been nice to sit out on the large decking area. Beds were made up to two double and one twin room as requested and beds surprisingly comfortable! The children?s entertainment was great - cheesy for us adults but kids loved it! My daughters loved taking part in the games but the prizes did seem to be won by the same children each night which seemed unfair, they seemed to be children who entertainers were familiar with - I understand it must be hard with different staff but my daughter tried so hard all week to win something but didn?t - not sure if there is a way to make it fairer for all kids involved?! We liked the fact you don?t need to book swimming, pool was small and lacked slides etc but still enjoyed our time there, maybe more for younger children like mine. The outdoor pool was really warm but chairs were ?reserved? with towels and the people no where to be seen (I know this happens everywhere but slightly annoying!). On the whole the staff were amazing - helpful and friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy talking to guests which was nice to see, they seemed to enjoy being at work! We will definitely be returning, thank you for our great stay!

The site is clean and well looked after and a beautiful beach is about a 15 minute easy stroll. However the facilities need some investment whilst the childrens entertainment is good there is little decent entertainment for adults, needs more professional shows to keep people in the club as it empties after the bingo, which is the highlight of the night sadly. Food and drinks prices are high and bar staff struggle to get orders right. The inside pool is more of a large paddling pool need more things for older children to do. This site could be a gem with some investment but wouldn?t return as it is.

We visited here for the first time in a while, and we loved it. We have a Labrador so we were staying in a dog friendly caravan. We booked a 3 bedroom, caravan. Our first impressions were very good. We walked inside it, and it was all very clean, and we were very happy about this, the kitchen was nice and the lounge area was lovely with a huge sofa. The tv was good, and they had Wi-Fi in the caravan, and the password on the side. The bedrooms were very tidy, and the beds were very comfy. They had one bathroom with a toilet and a sink in, and the other one had a shower and a sink. The master bedroom, had a TV as well. We then went over to the club, it was very nice and tidy. We ordered some chips, which were delicious! And we then went into the club, which was lovely. We then went into the pool, the indoor pool is quite small, but lovely, it?s not deep. And then we went into the outdoor pool, which was not as cold as we all thought, they also have activities, like zorbing, kayaking, archery and more. The park is very nice, with some swings, and a lot more. And there is a basketball court, and a crazy golf. And a dog area, that I haven?t visited yet. Overall, it was an amazing stay, and I would 100% come back!!

I visited this park every year when I was younger with my parents in our caravan and 25yrs later I get to return with my own family and children. Everything was amazing the pools the staff entertainment couldn?t fault the caravan absolutely spotless when we arrived and everything you could of wanted definitely will be returning

First visit where we stayed in a friend's caravan. The Reception staff were friendly and helpful. The leisure facilities look good especially for little ones. The entrance was clean and welcoming. The menu is interesting and inviting we ordered Whitebait and Thai Chips all was yummy. The young waitress and I think the handsome Restaurant manager were couteous and polite.
