Guests say

Guests have praised the Chichester Lakeside Holiday Park for its well-maintained grounds, high standard of cleanliness, and modern, comfortable lodges. The surrounding lakes provide beautiful walks, and local pubs offer great food. Some concerns were raised about Wi-Fi reliability and the lack of recycling facilities.

Reviewers consistently noted the property as spotless and very clean, both inside the caravan and the park facilities.

The property is appreciated for its beautiful grounds and proximity to local beaches and pubs, although some guests were inconvenienced by geese droppings.

The lodges are described as comfortable with quality furnishings and linen, contributing to a relaxing stay.

Facilities are generally well-regarded, but some guests experienced issues with Wi-Fi and were disappointed by the additional cost for swimming pool access.

There is no mention of gifts or special attention to guest needs beyond the provision of facilities, so it is not possible to assess thoughtfulness.

    Well maintained park, beautiful lakeside walks.Short drive into Chichester. Negatives: Arrived on Saturday WiFi working. Wednesday, we lost it so couldn't access TV Apps or use our tablets& the phone signal was not very good either. Their were no instructions 're loss of WiFi. There was also no info leaflets 're local attractions etc but We were given a site map at reception. We chose this park as there is a new indoor pool & we would have liked a couple of swims we obviously thought we would be able to use the pool....wrong! We would have had to buy a ' Leisure Access Card ' from reception £27.50 EACH. We didn't bother. It also have access to entertainment we didn't want.

    However the geese were nice but their poo was everywhere. We as dog owners are asked to pick our dogs poo up and dispose of it which we always do. No one clears the goose poo up it was horrible as we were always having to look where we were walking while walking our dogs, so our walks were not enjoyable. The caravan was beautiful. Clean on arrival and we left it spotless when we left. We wasnt sure what to do with our bags of rubbish on check out so we walked them up to the rubbish bins.
