  • "Bathroom shower leaks so badly it flows onto the bathroom floor and soaks up bedroom wall, kitchen tap leaks leaving small puddles on the work surface."

    No instructions for any appliances and none for the TV, the grill didn't work. Although washing machine available and washing pole, no hole to put it in we were told to ask a neighbour could we borrow their line. No tin opener! Blinds really dusty, inside the ovens dirty, cupboard doors dirty and floors not washed. It was a disapointment. Good point it was warm and comfortable.

    Thank you for your feedback and I would like to comment on each point you made. 1. The shower has never leaked for any of our other guests however I will have this checked immediately. 2. I will also check the kitchen tap and thank you for bringing this to my attention. 3. I will put in place a document to help guests use the TV and washing machine. 4. I have checked the grill and it works perfectly. As you recall I attended to show you how to work the gas cooker rings as you never used one before. 5. I am unsure why you mentioned the neighbour in relation to washing line . This facility is available. 6. A tin opener is available as is all kitchen appliances. 7. The blinds are cleaned after every guest leaves however due to the dry weather dust has been extremely bad on the park this year. 8. The oven is continually cleaned and left in pristine condition for the next guests. 9. The cupboard doors are cleaned after every guest leaves. 10. The floors are cleaned after every guest leaves. I am sorry you were disappointed with your stay. As this is the first negative review I have received I will be dealing with your comments as soon as possible. I always inform guests to call me if they have any problems. It would have been nice to mention some of the good points. You where left treats for your dog. Tea, coffee and fresh milk in the fridge. Orange juice, bottles of water and biscuits also left in the fridge to name but a few. Again thank you for your stay. Bernie Property Owner

Arriving at Oaklands Holiday Park, make use of your off-road parking space, before unloading your personal belongings and heading into your new abode.

An open-plan living space will welcome you, fully equipped for cooking, dining, and unwinding as a couple, contemporarily furnished with state-of-the-art appliances and plush upholstery; turn on the electric fire on colder days, whilst gathered in front of the Smart TV with a wine in hand.

Once the sun makes an appearance, venture out to the wrap-around veranda, perfect for alfresco dining, where you can enjoy a private barbecue and a relax, or even an evening of stargazing.

Returning to the interior, you'll find a spacious master bedroom, complete with a double bed, a wealth of storage, and an en-suite shower room; rest, refresh and get ready for your adventures to the Essex shoreline.

Whilst there are some on-site facilities to benefit from, venturing into St. Osyth will provide you with the chance to dine out, stock up on your essentials, and take in the surrounding culture; tapas at Dukes Bistro are a must, whilst The Creek serves a delightful Sunday lunch.

Just a stone's throw away you'll arrive at some fun-filled activities to enjoy as a couple; Clacton Pier is a good starting point, whilst SeaQuarium is ideal for marine-life fans, and Hollytrees Museum for budding historians.

Displaying picturesque views of the sea, take a trip to Mersea Island, stroll the golden sands of Dovercourt Beach, or head to Mill Dam Lake for a kayaking expedition.

Colchester Castle, Harwich Redoubt Fort, and Colchester Zoo are popular attractions, also accessible by car, perfect to add to your itinerary.
