It felt very rushed and the second we were no longer making them money, the bill was at our table. The restaurant staff seemed to have bets on to see who could turn tables the quickest. We decided to eat in the harbour lights restaurant on the last night, looking forward to a relaxing meal to end the holiday. Evening entertainment was average, kids got bored very quickly if we were lucky enough to even find a table. The complex was tidy and the arcade staff were very friendly. There seemed to be a lack of water points within the touring area. The sight of an environmental health management van halfway through the week spoke volumes. THEY WERE DISGUSTING! The Dishwashing facilities were average, with someone's remains of a chilli con carne left in one of the sinks for a good 2 days, along with a disowned stack of four dinner plates that were present the entire week. It was a constant lottery to find a cubicle with toilet paper, hand soap was even more of a rarity, which was later substituted for a couple of bottles of hand sanitizer. The toilet/shower facilities left a lot to be desired. We stayed on a touring pitch in the poppy field. Thankyou Kiln park for a better stay than the previous year. Yes, for the location and beach access No, if you are looking for value for money. Would we stay again ? It's a mixed bag of yes and no. Overall we had an enjoyable stay at Kiln Park again this year. Saying this though we didn't have an issue with paying slightly more as convenience outweighed cost. The onsite shop provided a good selection of essentials should you have forgotten anything but was more expensive than your average supermarket. I doubt we would have been able to swim anyway as you have to book a swimming slot in advance and these always prove popular - this process we assumed was introduced during Covid restriction times and in our opinion is no longer fit for purpose. We never experienced the entertainment offerings, arcade area or swimming pools so cannot comment on these areas. We didn't use any of the on site food services as one of our party is coeliac so couldn't be sure of any cross contamination risks and it didn't look like they catered for Gluten Free anyway. Even a coat of paint may brighten things up. The play park which we used with our 3 year old certainly needs updating. The grounds are kept in tip top condition but the facilities are looking a little tired. Having visited the previous year and stayed in the same standard of caravan in the Kittiwake area this year's caravan was far superior,especially on a cleanliness level - disappointing to see that cleanliness standards vary quite significantly across the parks caravans. The caravan ( silver standard) we were allocated in the Guillemot area was in the perfect location for us as it was only a 5 minute walk to the beach - ideal with a young family! The caravan was clean, tidy and met our expectations for a family holiday. We only used Kiln park as a base for getting out and about in and around Tenby. To sum up, I won’t be returning to a dirty over priced Haven site again.… Now we have visited Tenby several times and I can honestly say on this occasion I had never seen so much dog poo in one town, it really is horrid and has made me fall a little out of love with the place. I also noticed that during an afternoon, tables in the restaurant were not be cleaned and left over food just left on tables whilst staff were hanging around. Although the pool attendants mop over the floor, the amount of hair in the grill channels is vomit inducing, in fact swimming just made me feel dirty. The arcade and lower ground area is really dirty and not cleaned on a regular basis. Negatives- The cost of food and drink, I have no idea how the families KP attract can afford a night out in the marina bar, a pint, half a pint, 3 small lemonades and a couple of bags of crisps will set you back £25 A Burger King for a family of £50 It’s disgraceful. Our 3 children love nothing more than a swimming pool, arcade and night time entertainment and because we like Tenby we decided to give Kiln park a go… Positives- Ourprivately rented caravan (guillemot 7) The ambience of the Marina bar but only visited a few times as so expensive. ![]() ![]() We should have learnt our lesson many years ago but no we decided to return to a Haven site. ![]()
