I have just returned from a New Year’s Jolly at Pontins in Hemsby and have to say, it was the most diabolical and disorganised New Year’s break ever!

However, New Years... read more

Submitted By: Mrs V I  Johnson
Very disappointed, 2nd time we have been. I would not say I was over house-proud, but we found the chalet dirty with cobwebs (even a maintenance worker said it was not clean) and we upgraded to club.

The welcome pack was an insult; needless to say we will not be going back again.
