Highlands End Holiday Park Reviews

Perfect getaway

Great site with beautiful views and great facilities.

Great site

We stayed for 3 nights in mid November 2024 and were very lucky to get one of the 8 or so pitches on the western edge of the site. Enjoying an uninterrupted view of the rolling hills, Golden Cap and the sea to Lyme Bay. Unexpectedly for mid November, it was quite mild and very sunny during our stay, always a bonus! This is a lovely tranquil site with great facilities, too many to list. The staff are all friendly and helpful and facilities spotless. We also stayed here in 2023 in the summer school holidays. It was rammed full with families and as on this visit, although very busy, everyone seemed to respect other guests and there was no rowdiness or bad behaviour, indicative of a well run site. We will definitely visit again.

Exceeded our expectations

Fantastic stay, ultra clean and tidy, especially the toilets and showers. Recommended by a friend and far exceeded our expectations. The Spar shop has everything you might need and the prices are not a rip off. Thank you.

absolutely spotless. breathtaking views across the sea. highly recommended.

excellently located spotlessly clean. friendly staff.

A great site with everything you need for your stay

We had a great time at the site. The facilities are very clean and warm. Beautiful views from the site. The Spar shop has everything you need and the swimming pool is a great addition to the site. Very clean and super warm. Martin's bar is great for food and entertainment. We highly recommend this site and will definitely be coming back.

Outstanding campsite

Lovely campsite, a very clean and well kept site. Would definitely recommend the site. Martin's served delicious food and lovely desserts.

Great view

Great view, lovely and clean. Nice showers.

Amazing, definitely recommend

We have just had 6 nights in the most amazing location on the Jurassic Coastline. We arrived a little later than expected but upon arrival we found a pitch quickly. The site was perfectly clean, the pitches were generous and the facilities were spotless. We ate in Martin's a few nights and the food was exceptional with lots of choice and huge portion sizes with a much appreciated indoor dog area. The walk to the beach is very steep but what a beautiful view, a true wow factor and there is a road you can drive down to the beach if you choose. Lots to do and see in the surrounding areas and lots of information leaflets to help you in the onsite Spar shop. It was half term so there were lots of children (not with us) and it was lovely to see them playing with no mobile phones and enjoying all the facilities the site has to offer. Definitely return and most certainly recommend.

Fantastic touring park

This touring part has everything that you could wish for. The toilet and shower blocks are fab, with heating and great showers. On site laundry facilities that you can pay for with your bank card. Bar and restaurant, Spar shop and indoor heated swimming pool. I would score this site 10/10. Can't wait to return.

Excellent

Excellent all round. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff, very clean and facilities far exceeded my expectations. Nothing felt cheap and the bar room with the fire engines was a great addition.

Site's response

Thank you for the lovely feedback, we are pleased that you enjoyed the fire engine room.

A really lovely site

First time caravanning but won't be the last! This site has the most amazing views from it, it's well-equipped, extremely clean and tidy. We'll be going back!

Site's response

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us, see you again soon.

Wonderful location

Arrived Wednesday for a 2 night stay in our van, gorgeous location, clean facilities and friendly staff. It's a quiet site which was perfect for our needs. Would stay again without hesitation.

Site's response

Thank you for the great review.

Amazing

The most beautiful campsite we have every stayed at. Sea view one side and valley view the other. Clean and well-maintained, couldn't ask for more and will definitely be back.

Site's response

What a lovely review, thank you and we hope to see you again soon.

Family stay in August

Very quiet, peaceful site with an amazing view. We would recommend it, but it's too far to the toilet block from the electric pitches. We had 3 kids with us, so we were so tired of walking there that we took the car a few times when the situation was urgent. In my opinion, there should be another shower/toilet block just behind the electric pitches, it would make a huge difference. Also, it would be nice to have a mini disco for kids more often. It was only once per the whole stay. Swimming pool or little soft play is not for free. So the site is quite expensive. We enjoyed our stay anyway as it is a lovely area, but we wouldn't come back until some changes are done.

Site's response

Thank you for your comments about your stay. We are pleased that overall you enjoyed your stay.

Nice holiday!

We had a wonderful vacation. Nice landscape. Clean and proper facilities. Everything fine. Looking forward to coming back.

Site's response

Thank you from all of the team for the great review.

Great site but windy!

Site is very clean and tidy. Loads of toilets and the showers were great, hot and powerful. Pool is massive and quite warm, no booking needed. The bar and restaurant is lovely. Had breakfast and Sunday roast which were both really tasty, would highly recommend. We walked to West Bay along the coastal path which took around 25 mins, but a very steep incline to come back. Not much else close to site within walking distance. Views are fantastic but the downside to being on the top of a cliff means it is very open to the elements. We left a day early due to very high winds almost destroying the tent! All hands on deck needed to empty our tent before the wind took it down completely. The staff were amazing though and kindly put us up in a glamping pod for the night until we go back to our pitch in the morning to pack properly. We would go back but maybe consider a caravan or pod next time!

Thank you for your review, we are so pleased that our staff were able to help you when the weather changed.

Great time

Great time. Clean site, very well organised. One star off though as had to pay for swimming and soft play, which I thought was cheeky!

Site's response

Thank you so much for your great review! Not all our guests wish to use our Leisure club and Soft Play therefore these facilities are accessed on a pay as you go basis. We look forward to your return visit!

First stay and definitely not our last, absolutely loved it!

First time staying at Highlands and definitely won't be our last. Superb site and one of the best we have stayed at. Great location with plenty of walks along the coastal paths. Our dog absolutely loved the dog walking area and surrounding fields. Large pitches all marked out and spaced out well, fantastic view from our pitch overlooking the coast towards Lyme Regis. Very clean toilets and showers, cleaned regularly. Extremely helpful, polite staff and very knowledgeable about the area. We even had an email while we were there informing us of a day of high winds and advice on how to prepare our tent. Had a fantastic week and we will be back very soon, thank you.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your outstanding review, it is highly appreciated by all the Team! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, the stunning location and views, the dog walking facilities, the spacious pitches, the high park cleaning standards, the amazing team and our wind warning system. We look forward to your return visit!

Fantastic holiday

Would recommend a holiday at Highlands. This was our first time here and the facilities are immaculate. Everything you need within short walk, beach, restaurant, pool, and shops. So impressed.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, the immaculate park facilities and everything located within such easy reach. We look forward to your return visit!

Camping for few days

Nice site, great scenery overlooking the sea. Little disappointed that we had to pay for the swimming pool as I would have expected it to be included in price. Easy entry as pre check in online. Would recommend.

Site's response

Thank you very much for your review, we are delighted that you enjoyed the stunning location, the easy check in system and the lovely Leisure Club. Not all of our guests wish to use the facilities, hence we charge on a pay as you go basis, or great value pool passes are available to purchase.

Amazing site

Probably the best site we've been to. Stunning views in every direction. Clean and modern facilities. Lovely part for the kids. Nothing to dislike. We will definitely be back.

Site's response

Thank you so much, Paul for your wonderful review, we are truly delighted that you enjoyed your stay. The stunning views of the Jurassic Coastline, the high park standards and excellent children's facilities. We are already looking forward to your return visit!

Wonderful but a bit windy

This site is one of the best we have stayed at. The facilities are fantastic, everything you could want on one site. Everywhere is super clean and well kept. Our one and only criticism is that there isn't much protection for your tent from the wind and boy, it's windy! I wish there were some hedges between the pitches just to take some of the gales. Our air tent held up well, but several people had broken poles. It wasn't enough to put us off though. We are thinking about returning next year.

Site's response

Thank you for your feedback. It is well advertised that our camping pitches and park are located on a Jurassic Coast clifftop, which gives them stunning views. But it does mean that on a rare occasion they are exposed to the wind during adverse weather. We regularly check forecasts and have procedures in place at these times which include emailing and/or texting advisory messages to guests asking them to prepare for stronger winds by ensuring tents are securely fastened down and we sell storm pegs in the SPAR for this purpose. When very strong winds are forecast, we contact guests about rearranging their bookings. On rare occasions, we are caught out when forecasts change at the last minute. We also have team members on-hand 24/7 to help and advise guests. These procedures affect a tiny proportion of bookings and we are sorry that you were one of these affected bookings. Please know that this is not the usual experience our camping guests get and we hope you will return to the park in the future for our usual 5 star experience. Thank you.

Outstanding

Staff friendly and helpful. Couldn't fault any team member. Was made to feel very welcome.

Site's response

Thank you so much Angela for your kind review, it is highly appreciated by all the Team! We look forward to your return visit!

Great holiday, will definitely be back

I feel like the food and drink is over priced. If it was more reasonable, we would have used it more often.

Site's response

Thank you very much for your feedback. Martin's Bar is an excellent place to eat: Our Sunday Roast on the coast (booking essential) is delicious and excellent value as you can opt for a different size plate, also the Curry night on a Tuesday the same. You are welcome to purchase a Martin's Loyalty card for £5 which entitles you to 10% off food and drinks, easily paying for itself very quickly. Also we have a happy hour for cocktails every day from 3-6 pm. Or there is the village pub the New Inn and also the Admiral's Bar, both within a 2-minute walk from the park entrance.

Great place

Very clean site with lovely staff. Good facilities and the site shop has everything you could need.
