| "Sandford Holiday Park was a much needed second break for us. The park and facilities were fantastic and we will be returning in 2010 for a longer holiday. The accommodation was first class the entertainment very much family oriented instead of just live bands which children get bored with and our son still has a larger than life balloon motorbike made by the balloonatic!!! All of the staff were very pleasant and helpful and we would recommend Sandford Holiday Park to anyone looking for a good value family holiday." |
| Mrs L, 19 November 2009 |

| "A lovely park very green with lots of trees and wide roads - we particularly recommend Chestnut Avenue. The outdoor swimming pool and go-karts were great and you are within easy reach of Bournemouth beaches and Weymouth. The Sealife Park is very good value if you book through the site and highly recommended for a good day out if you have children under 10. " |
