North Shore Holiday Centre Reviews
Well it was my first british holiday as we tend to go abroad. I was so impressed with the friendliness of ALL the staff. We were made so welcome. We stayed in a chalet with 2 adults and 2 kids, the chalets were clean and comfortable and more than basic enough. Loads of... more

Terrible holiday. Poor facilities, the shop stock was very limited and expensive, bar prices were steep and dog walk area was very small. The positive points were that the children enjoyed the playpark area provided and fortunately the weather was good.
The shop stock is admittedly basic, but provides all the essentials. As we can't compete with nearby Tesco, Morrisons, and Co-Op, there is little point in us having a wide ranging stock. We can never beat their prices and get complaints about that, so again, having lots of stock is futile. As for the lack of facilities - we have all the basic facilities (and more, I'd say) as per any typical caravan site. Pub/club with entertainment, Wi-Fi hotspot, kid's room with soft-play area playground, tennis, mini golf, 9-hole pitch and putt golf, shop, very close to town centre and beaches....I'm not quite sure what other facilities this reviewer expected. Also, all our details are published openly on our website and in our brochure if they asked for one. Most people check out their holiday venue prior to visiting.

Just got back from a weeks stay in a self catering park home, The site was very clean and tidy and the staff very helpful. I'm glad i never read any of the negative reports that have been posted as that is not how i saw it. The home we had was very clean and plenty of space... more

Just got back from a week at this place. In true British tradition we stuck it out until the very end spending as much time "out" of the accomodation as possible. LOCATION Excellent location. 10 to 15 mins walk to the town centre and sea front. 10 mins drive from Fantasy... more
We did have cleaning problems with the contractors we used last year. We admit that. That said, we do not expect visitors to "stick it out" - a simple word to Reception, and we would have sent cleaners over straight away. Myself and my staff would even have helped. We have changed cleaners and the system, so this year should prove much better. As I have said in another response, yes, the shop has limited stock - hence it being called a convenience store. And again, we will never match the prices of supermarkets. Sorry.

All the reviews on here seem a little dated! We've just been in August 2010 and had a great time. The facilites are good, the staff all very helpful. Location is great - you're so near town centre but can't hear the hussle n bussle etc. Good for kids, things to do. We... more

I have just put a review on but then realised I forgot to mention something -please read my other review for more details. I thought it was very important to mention the noise - all the apartments are very near the site club which is extremely noisy, so much so that it is... more

North Shore Holiday centre is only a short distance from Skegness, 0nly a 10 to 15 minute walk or less than 5 mins in the car. We stayed in the Tennyson Apartments in August 2008, they are meant to be the 'luxurious' apartments out of all the ones they have, if this is the... more

Got back about two days ago and the kids are already wanting to go back. Was also great that the weathermen didn't get everything right and we had an ok week - even got a little tan! The site is well-maintained and the staff are all pleasant. The apartment we stayed in... more

North Shore Holliday Centre 2007 We went to the holiday park in the main season (August) only to be very disappointed with the lack of facilities for a large caravan park The all weather pitches are pretty good, except for the shared water supply which has to be shared... more
Parts of this post do seem somewhat misplaced. Mr Branson would have known the price on booking, so I don't understand why he didn't book elsewhere. Also, people save money on our site by not having to either drive or get public transport into Skegness as we are so near. The Club was not that bad in 2007 and is usually packed during peak season. And the e "blue rinse brigade" (an unnecessary description, I feel) do like this type of music and ask for it all the time. As for the comment "most of them should be put in a home"...that seems unnecessary also. We have customers who have been visiting us every year for 30 years. We're not ashamed of that. For the record, the Club is under new management this year who have retained some of the same entertainers for our repeat customers, as well as introducing some new talent.

Just had great time in a chalet at North Shore. Everything in the brochure we asked for was provided and again we just had a great time.
Staff very helpful.... weather not so helpful but that's the way it is it seems at the moment!
Fully recommend this site to anyone interested in a family holiday.

We stayed at North Shore For 7 Nights this year, and although we as a family had a wonderful time, there was a few hiccups. We stayed in a camping pod, where integregated seating was supposed to be...although when we arrived...nothing of the sort was there. Fellow 'Podders'... more
