Pleasantly Surprised – Great Family Holiday with Fantastic Entertainment!
For the October half term, we decided to do a UK staycation and, hoping for the best weather possible, headed as far south as we could; Devon! After a few days of searching, we booked a stay at Welcome Family Holiday Park, and although this isn’t our usual type of holiday, we went in with an open mind.
Check-in & Accommodation:
Check-in was quick and easy. You do collect your own bedding and make up your beds, but this was clearly mentioned during booking, so no surprises there. We stayed in a Casita Lodge which was clean, spacious, and came with a lovely little welcome pack. The lodges are slightly dated in style, but everything worked perfectly. The only small negative was the compact shower cubicle, but otherwise, we were very happy.
Facilities & Activities:
The site itself is tidy and well-kept. We used the pool a couple of times, it’s on the smaller side and can get busy, and the water could have been a touch warmer, but it was still enjoyable. We played crazy golf and went on the playground, and there’s also a 5-a-side pitch/basketball court which we didnt use.
One thing to note: mobile signal is almost non-existent, and only one device can connect to the free Wi-Fi (you can pay for extras). It wasn’t a big deal for us, but worth mentioning.
Food & Location:
The on-site diner is decent, think TGI Fridays-style food: pizzas, fried chicken, chips, and milkshakes. The prices at the Diner and the bar were very reasonable, and the staff at both were all friendly and engaging. There are also plenty of shops, takeaways, and even a bakery right outside the park. Dawlish Warren beach is only a 5-minute walk away, with a small funfair and from there you can take a scenic train ride into Dawlish, which I’d highly recommend!
Entertainment (the real highlight!):
The entertainment team absolutely stole the show, genuinely some of the best we’ve experienced anywhere. They put on a great variety of performances for kids, families, and adults, and the standard was outstanding. The energy and quality of the shows really made the holiday special.
Overall:
We arrived not knowing quite what to expect, but left pleasantly surprised. The park exceeded our expectations in many ways, especially with its entertainment and family-friendly atmosphere.
If you’re a family looking for a fun, relaxed break with top-notch entertainment, Welcome Family Holiday Park is definitely worth considering. We’d happily return!
