Mablethorpe Chalet Park in East Lindsey

Chalet was beautiful very clean, warm and comfortable. Chalet park very rundown glad we only used for 1 night stopover on long drive

Cam here with my extended family for a getaway. The caravan I stayed in was clean and presentable or arrival. Just can do with re modernising that’s just personal taste. The bar had incredibly polite young lady with ginger hair.. didn’t get her name. She was absolutely friendly and chatty to the guests and local of course make you feel welcome to get drinks. The downfall was for us we have a 2 year old there was not much a child can do for her age than just a swing. Even for us in some way than just chat like you do in a local pub and have a drink personally. Bad karaoke on Saturday night, no bingo or any some sort of family entertainment. I feel the place was catered for older people than a young family like myself.

Stayed here for a week I went to the cedars bar every evening for a pint the staff was very pleasant and helpful, however when the lady manager came back from her vacation I felt she was not friendly at all, this has made me feel I don’t want to visit her venue again. Very disappointing.!!! The site itself was very clean and tidy but not much to do with young ones.

The site itself is nice, well kept, clean, not full of dog mess, and the onsite pub was pretty good to be fair. We stayed cheap and cheerful, and it showed, we were only there a few days so it didnt really matter as we were hardly there, but if we went again, I would spend a few quid more to upgrade, we had a chalet, not the best if honest, but it was a private let, the owners who live there are in far better condition, but this is only a let, next to nothing in it, TV had a mind of its own and battled with the remote control all the way, living room heater did not work, and had to put your own electric on via a key, never had that before.

We called in for a drink whilst staying on the site. The place is quite dingy with 2 massive tv s on the wall, either side of the bar. Wherever you stand you're in the way of the fooy that was on at the time. Prices are quite high too for a camp bar. The food looked ok , but as we'd already eaten ddidn't try it. Not a place I'd return to. Sorry.

During a family holiday at the chalet park we had a couple of nice meals in Cedars, which for quality, quantity and value were very good. We found all staff in the bar to be extremely pleasant. Regarding the chalet park itself we personally prefer to stay at the Seaholme Road end of Mablethorpe rather than off Quebec Road, however we found all the site staff to be very friendly and there was frequent tidying up, mowing of the grass etc to keep the park maintained.

My parents were staying on this site last october (half term) so we decided to try the onsite pub/resturant. Very friendly staff, arcades for the kids to enjoy and also a small play area for them. We all ate here and the food was great. big portions for small prices. Best thing about our visit was the karaoke at night which was really good fun.

This whole place should be bulldozed. It is terrible. It's the biggest mistake I've ever made going to this place. A total waste of money.

The whole site is like going back to the 1960s. It is a horrible place to stay. Don't waist your time and money.

the cedars bar and resturant was dirty and just drab. we decided to eat here as we had never been before. we wished that we had not bothered the food was not cooked. my husband had chicken wings they were almost raw. i had the stir fry loads of it but it was cold and i could not eat it. my advice is avoid.

L12 mobile home links ave mablethorpe LN12 1QN £1.00 NOT reusable for eclectic meter!!!VERY dirty!!!NEEDS skipping!!!Tatty as!! Dusty!!Toilet doesn’t flush properly.Dirty shower!Drafty as! Kitchen tap broken.Stinks of sewerage in the bathroom!!Broken blinds! Cobwebs! Never again!! Camping a lot better !!!

Been here past 8-10years taken over by Tenedene before had great entertainment kid things pool area arcade etc we used to go to Tavern watch acts play bingo etc then weather permitting go back to chalets and talk till 2-3am now it's soooooo boring you just wa.t to go home it's a shame people now are just leaving (owners of chalets and caravans),would be great to see a better entertainment pull, activities play area (bigger one ),for kids.

Stopped for weekend with grandson. Cars speeding past all the time. Lots of dog poo. Not nice for a family. Disappointed not safe for my grandson. What are the staff doing about it. They dont seem to care. What a shame. The long term tenants making the chalet park look like a dump site. Dont the management check who are living in the chalet. Its really gone down hill since people have moved in as permanent residents.

We visited The Cedar Bar and Restaurant on the Chalet Park. We placed an order for food (4 adult meals and 1 child meal) and was told there was a 40 minute wait on food. That was after we tried to order sweet potato fries and they didn’t have any. Food started arriving 1 hour later, the adult meals all came out separately with a 2-5 minute wait between each meal. The child’s meal hadn’t arrived when the last adult meal came out and they said it was forgotten and they are cooking it now - chips and sausage. Our son (5 years old) was very upset that he had been forgotten and when he tried the sausage he said there was crunchy bits in it - we cut them up and it was all grisly. The adult meals were not great and our son didn’t eat his - the food was awful and the Landlady didn’t seem bothered even when we complained how poor the service and food was - not eating there again!

staff couldnt do enough to help you ! They were friendly and ensured that you were looked after. food was well cooked and tasty. variety of menu and plenty of it.

nice place to have a drink and there is a play area for the children to play out side pleasant tavern

Needs updating and a qualified chef employing during busy months. Staff pleasant but drinks expensive

I won’t write a long review. My wife and I stayed on the park for 3 nights. We don’t use caravans much these days, and never cook in them.

As it was a private booking of Leanne O Driskal the chalet was a complete waste of money so be warned we didn't even unpack. Went to office to complain but said as it a private booking off Facebook had to take up with the owner when texted the owner to complain about the state of everything including a dirty cooker shower etc had the cheek to to say we broke the electric box don't even know where the electric was and smelled of cigarettes we both stopped smoking January 1st 2000 so no refund as to say will be taking this complaint further.

A great place. In Link avenue Mablethorpe. Loads of chalets and caravans. Shop on site play area washing place and across the road the beach. Clean and lovely chalets.

We only had a 2 night stay before the Easter rush but the staff made it feel so cosy and quaint a lovely place for families as well

nice clean chalet park ,close to beach 20 minute walk to mablethorpe centre.Cedars bar and restaurant very good ,try the fish and chips ( lovely ) Particular chalet we went in had recent refurb so very good but lacked shaving mirror in shower room ,not worth making a fuss about..

Nice little bar serving very tasty food! The bar staff are very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. There's a small playground and a few amusements for the children.

having been coming here for a few years now I would never have recommended the club on site because it made you feel so unwelcome but now new owners have taken over the site and made a lot of changes to the good jim and his wife now run the cedars formally the tavern and what a great job done its now very child friendly the staff are brilliant made to feel very welcome food served from 9am to 10pm its a massive change from other years and can not wait to come back in july if you had a bad time you last visited come back and give it another try

Después de visitar la taberna el año pasado mi marido y yo decidimos que nunca volvería allí otra vez. Va y algunos de los "habitués/propietarios buscaría como si 6 cabezas y realmente no debería ser así en la ONU acogedor que era increíble. Avance rápido a 2017 y nueva gente corriendo por el bar, así que tuvimos que verlo en las 8 semanas que han tenido que Jim y Claudia han hecho un excelente trabajo. Que el personal es encantador y muy amable y no nos sentimos un ambiente malo de hecho pasamos todos 4 noches de estancia o en el pub y hablamos con algunas personas encantadoras algunos eran turistas y propietarios de unos pocos. Y tanto un dijo que no les gustó el lugar el año pasado. Crédito justo para que Jim y buena suerte claudia durante el resto del año. También nos alojamos en un chalet magnífico.

Tengo que decir que el personal era encantador en el bar y la comida era muy agradable había 13 de nosotros y las comidas todos llegamos juntos. También el personal del bar había traído 40 tarta de mi hijo por y hay unos 6 de ellos y lo he cantado con él, lo cual me pareció un buen toque a la noche

i am not happy about this. ive been going to the chalet park for many years now and ive never had a problem with the office and the owners. but now new owners own it i am not happy they have made many mistakes especially with post and parcels. The office has been closed for two days with no warning and nothing about where the post goes to, and now i have missed my delivery that ive been waiting for, for 2 weeks all due to the office closing, i am disgusted and if it wasnt for my parents living up here i wouldnt be coming up here again i am extremely unhappy about this.

we were actually staying on the golden sands haven holiday park but our friends were staying in a caravan on the chalet site. we went into the tavern on a friday night and it was brilliant, we had dinner and then we stayed for the...

was visiting the site last weekend and had an amazing time. turned out there was an owners event happening which we couldnt attend but there was another event for guests in a smaller room which was so much fun. the food in the tavern was very good value and so much so we saw people coming from the owners event and ordering food from the tavern instead of eating the food was that was provided free in the other room. the staff were really friendly and had smiles on their faces, such a shame the season is coming to a close as i cant wait to come back again.

La taberna es encantadora, sin embargo el café del hotel es muy por debajo de la media. Es un "adornos" cafetería, que ofrece comida tan buena como su decoración. Mi familia y yo visitamos, extremadamente contentos con el parque del chalet y la taberna, sólo...

the owner of the cafe allowed a member of the public to cook and prepare his own food in the cafe kitchen for a birthday party while the cafe was open to the general public. This was after the Tavern on site had denied the man access to their kitchen to prepare his food in the tavern kitchen due to it been against health and hygiene laws. he stupidly then went on to social media to try make himself look like a hero and ended up looking like a very foolish and bitter man. Ive notified the powers that be and hopefully the cafe owner will be brought up to scratch with health and hygiene laws, just like the tavern manager was and he can then concentrate on his own business instead of sticking his nose into a well run one. we are also still waiting for the charity money to be donated to the selected charity after the event held earlier in the season that the cafe owner seems to be holding on to.

I would recommend this chalet site to anyone very friendly and lovely to be on very peaceful very good with Any problems we had we are planing to make our next visit in October thanks guys for having us :) xxx

Fuimos en la taberna por un poco de algo para comer durante el día, me sorprendió gratamente. Yo tenía el cerdo baguette sacó los niños tenían los palitos de pescado y patatas fritas y la esposa tenía la hamburguesa de cerdo desmenuzado. Es una lástima que sólo comimos allí el día de nuestra penúltima de lo contrario habríamos vuelto de nuevo antes de volver a casa. £2 una pinta demasiado que yo no esperaba. El parque chalet es muy bonito y tranquilo, incluso durante las vacaciones de los niños a los niños les encantó la zona de juegos y la sala de juegos. La tienda no tiene mucho, pero tenía periódicos, leche y pan, etc. y solo papel que podría venir en práctico si en el chalet. No usamos el fish and chips, ya que nos dijeron que por mis amigos que los chips Robin Hood fue el mejor en la ciudad y que no estaba demasiado lejos de la web, así que me uno en el sitio.

Had a great week thanks to Andi but the neighbours were alittle crazy (not good)Great chalet highly recommended, good value

The chalet park itself was great nice clean park ,but then the chalet we hired was a nightmare it was E7 middle season we paid £230 for the week but had to come home early weather was great but we took cases in and had to start cleaning for the first hour front door stool fridge was mouldy pots and pans was unuseable sofa smelly but was covered with a throw double bed was broken we texted the owner and he said the bed wasn't broken and we was lying we got a lot of abuse from owner we wouldn't stay at this one again but would recommend the park

this is a nice friendly pub that serves food and allows dogs in some entertainment is available . On site also is another café which serves from breakfast to 8pm at night a launderette anda refurbished shop is due to open shortly

Very nice café on site and staff are lovely. We went in as a family most of the meals were very good, but couple of us had chicken curry and it was not nice, just pulled chicken in a sauce, no onions, mushrooms, veg or anything in it. The knives and forks were cold as were the plates.

Great for kids and adults, made very welcome and felt comfortable joining in with regular. Soft drinks and beverages a little expensive not much choice of diet drinks, diet coke only.Plenty of activities for the kids.

Been here twice now, stayed in a caravan on site. Very close to the entrance, so didn't manage to venture round. Never did I realise there was anything on the site. Stayed sat-sat this time and it wasn't until Wednesday evening I realised there was a chip shop, cafe, park and launderette (after hand washing my clothes that morning!)Can't comment too much as I didn't use the facilities, the launderette was £4.50 to wash and £2.50 to dry, which was a bit much considering I'd washed most things already. And I did get a bacon sandwich which was nice. Seemed quiet and I really feel they should get reception back up and running or post afew leaflets to advertise the cafe as it didn't seem busy. (Not complaining, just a thought)Will more than likely visit again and will use what's on site more next time.

Fantastic place to visit the food in the cafe is amazing good value for money defiantly will visit again there is something for everybody on this site and so close to the beach too

Visited this site for Easter Break this year. The chalet was homely and clean, a home away from home. Lovely place. The owners are very friendly and accommodating and I would highly recommend a stay. The cafe serves excellent food at reasonable prices and the park is not far from the centre of Mablethorpe and can be easily accessed either by car or on foot.

Stayed for a few days with my partner and daughter and pooch. Brilliant dog friendly place. Really nice beaches away from the more ectic Skegness. The chalet park has everything you need. Although when I stayed the shop & arcade wasn't open, but it was still early season tbf. Quiet little park and a welcoming tavern. Loved our stay and will return for sure.

Stopped on the site last week and loved how quiet and peaceful it is, very friendly atmosphere around the park, didn't visit the cafe on site but a lot of the other families we talked to recommended it, so will have to visit in the future. Went in the tavern for a meal, although the menu was not huge with not much to choose from what we did have was well worth the money and you got a lot of food for the money, my only complaint would be the beer price could be reduce a little to something closer to what you can get a pint for in the town, although the 4 pint pitch is better value than buying 4 separate pints

Wow what a lovely time away , amazing people , amazing beach , food in tavern is lush same as the cafe , I've been all over Essex not like this , perfect for family holidays a true beach holiday , cheap as chips so lots of treats for the kids without braking the bank , it's a 3 hr drive from here and worth the drive , forget clacton, Southend of Norfolk - here is where u want to be, children can't wait to return happy days

Thankfully theres a Cafe on site to eat, found the club of putting, only there few days, chalet was ok but cold when you pay that much you don't expect to be feeding a electric £1 slot. Breakfast a buffet style in cafe was good and filling dinner also good, staff friendly. The club didn't have much on offer on menu early in season, not very good choice in beers and few we had wasn't good, Karaoke was good, but the naked fool was off-putting totally spoiled a night drunk friends with him, think owners of park need to look into it. Wouldn't stay again, talking to some in club and on park said it had changed a lot over last 12 months.

Very nice and cosy chalet. For its age, it's clean tidy and comfortable. It's a 10 minute walk to the clean, sandy beach. You have Mablethorpe Seal Sanctuary in one direction and Mablethorpe itself in the other, both about 15-20 minutes walk. The park itself is clean, tidy and well looked after. I would definitely book again, in either K16 or one of the other chalets or caravans. I've not been in the Tavern yet but hear that's good too.

Our kids love it here and it is lots of fun for them and close to Mablethorpe beach. The tavern is a friendly place to have food and entertainment is good for the children. Our chalet was extremely modern, well decorated & very comfortable. Had all we need and is located on a 'green' so very safe for the kids to play safely away from cars. Free parking and a great wooden playground. The shop is quite costly but we can HIGHLY recommend the on site cafe for cooked breakfasts (they are huge) - and they do roast dinners too (although we didn't try it last time we went). We are going again this Easter for 2 nights.

Chalet just been updated. Nice clean chalet.Great friendly owners, very helpful.Site is obviously being improved, things are looking good. Tavern pub needs a bit of TLC, But had a great night in there.The cafe is good wholesome food, very reasonable and owners are very friendly.Shop is very limited in stock, But ok for basics ie milk etc.Other than that very friendly site, kids loved the play area and amusement arcade.Would defo go again.

This is a family oriented tavern on Mablethorpe chalet park which the site is open all year round, the tavern is open 10 months of the year and they do some great meals cheap

Where do I start.. The Chalets are old and dated, still stuck in the 70's. Cold and Damp, a lot of condensation. The Chalet had a £1 meter that swallowed the electric. No cooker just a microwave. The tavern bar is like a saloon, when you walk in the music stops and everybody stares. The Cafe owners are friendly enough, but basic bland food. Stained and dirty table cloths that had been on the tables for a few days. Cobwebs and dirty walls. The lady in the shop is lovely, friendly and helpful,unfortunately it's overpriced and under stocked. The few people I did bump into we're friendly enough. Wouldn't go back if you offered me a free holiday there.Mablethorpe as a whole is ok for a few days but that's it,Full of Takeaway Cafes and gift shops..Stay clear, save your money.

DO NOT book chalet F17....it is dreadful!!!!toilet has no flooring,shower area is something out of 1950s and no hot water supply for sink in kitchen....and less I forget you have to flush toilet about 5 times to remove waste......it's right opposite the cafe and on arrival eventually some chav turned up to give us our keys and give us the run down on this BASIC of accommodations......beware as I think these people own more than one....mablethorpe chalet park should be ashamed to allow such rentals in there name

Don't bother with the Tavern,over priced with very few people going in.The on site cafe however is lovely,friendly,welcoming and offers great food and drinks.Akso licenced so you can avoid the Tavern. The beach is wonderful as is the Beck for a carvery.

Hired p1 disabled chalet on mablethorpe chalet park was very disappointed with it supposed to sleep 6 people was not enough bedding loads of problems with it couldn't use bathroom properly because door wouldn't close so no privacy chair that disabled person could sit in was broken electic sockets didn't work had to buy light bulbs owner not helpful at all no communication tried texting to sort out didn't get back to me would Deffo not recommend it at all needs some serious tlc and maintenance.

Have eaten here a few times now and the meals are always spot on, and the staff are always friendly and make you very welcome.

Still not many in club some nights 4 to 8 in nothing going off. The food was better, still same menu but they had got act together and portions were ok, its not too bad if your stuck on site but wouldn't eat more than few times, lot better in town. Found cleaning (not kitchen) in eating area was open to dogs that were allowed on seats and had the run of the place, on 3 times we had flea bites on ankles and were not only ones to suffer. The beer was terrible and changed to lager that wasn't much better, bar staff found to be good. The camp is going residential and reflects on lack of holidaymakers using club. The café on site is better more choice and owners are very friendly.

chalet was average with the "wet room" being a pain as it meant splashing through the water to get to the toilet via a quite high step. the shop closed at lunch time on a couple of days and the amusement arcade was not open on the four days we were there. the Tavern pub was very quiet with no entertainment and as we had small children with us we went in the family room which had 2 pool tables, an air hockey table and a couple of other bits and that was it. the staff however were very friendly and the meals were really nice but large and very good prices. don't think we will be going again.

The concessions of the Tavern, Shop, Restaurant and Chip Shop are varied and covered by other reviews. Since the change of park ownership and the transition from holiday and holiday owners to holiday/residential (12 months) the dynamic feel of the park has changed. The park no longer offer rental holidays of either chalets or caravans and so the non-owner has to rent from a private owner. This in turn seems to cause a change of attitude with some residents being more defensive of their territory and boundary and with that a more noticeable lack of friendly conduct. One presumes that the accommodation that was rentable is now on offer for sale and with the new terms of lease. It is a pity that this modest park which has stood the test of time for the non-owner holiday maker for so long has effected this change.

The tavern does have a quite a small menu in some respect but the food is priced at a very reasonable price and the portion sizes are huge. The room is quite small which can be a pain in high season but all in all its a nice little bar on a quiet little chalet park. The staff are very friendly and the bar also has free wifi so keeps the kids entertained, enjoyed the karaoke nights and bingo and also the quiz night.

Stayed here for 2 nights, booked for 3 but preferred to go home!! I know these chalets are basic, BUT ..... Toilet didn't flush, shower stunk of sewerage, no hot water in kitchen, and pretty grotty, floor covering awful on entrance. Only decent bit settees, newish carpet, TV worked, but overall no matter how cheap couldn't stay here, but I suppose would suit some people. Haven is more expensive but at least accomodation is cleaned before you go in. Quite appalled that some of the accommodation on mablethorpe chalet park is so poor, I feel sorry for the good folk who obviously tender their places and keep them nice, sorry this review is not meant for them.

Not a very good menu in Tavern little to choose from, stopped serving food at 9.00, the beer is over priced and awful, by sounds of it they have lost a lot of trade, people are going elsewhere .( Café on site has more choice.) Some nights as few as 6 in so that says it all. Poor entertainment someone dressed as a squirrel turns up now and again for few hours, karaoke and a singer are best nights but everyone's packed into a small room, they have a big room but never saw it open. More like a residential than holiday park. Have to say staff are ok.

great place to stay for all the family.clean tidy site,very friendly people every where from the holiday makers them selves to the people who have the business's on site. ie the general store,chippie and cafe,the tavern and arcade.very nice relaxing place for a long or short stay.with lots of things to do very close by.mablethorpe shops and arcades are walkable from the site.

Very clean and tidy park, lovely friendly staff. Play areas for younger children,a chippy laundrette and shop are on site. This site is pretty basic but is great value for money and is well situated for access to local attractions well worth the visit.

Lovely little chalet park, great for all ages. Is about a 10-15 minuet walk to the main bit of Mablethorpe, but this isn't an issue. The Tavern has great and varied entertainment every night and the staff are friendly. Drinks prices are reasonable as is the food - the food in the tavern is nice and filling and there is a variety to choose from. Close to Mablethorpe seal sanctuary which is always nice to have a look at. This site accepts dogs too which is a bonus. Great place for a holiday.

I loved the relaxing feel to this place and I love the tavern and the most friendly bar staff too! The only thing that brings me down about this place is the sheer amounts of rabbits! We have a dog and bring him here and he allways goes for the damn rabbits! He is a jack russel

We stayed at this chalet park last season late September,we stayed Monday to Friday so missed out on the weekend entertainment.The chalet was spot at £125 for 5 days,straight across from the club,nice friendly people,dog friendly too.The food was a bit 1970's style but where do you get perfect food on holiday.Either cook your own or accept whats for sale.Not too impressed with the Cafe/Chip shop,quite lazy I thought,no urgency for the customer but it was end of season.When you attend a site like this don't raise the bar too high,or go and pay extortionate prices at Haven sites.You still go to the same beach,they still serve frozen food but you pay for the entertainment,swimming pool ,kids club etc etc.It is a step back in time but an enjoyable one,highly recommended.

The Tavern was cold not many in why they have doors open for smokers is a mystery, not much of a menu and drinks are expensive especially kids drinks, everything seemed priced at £5 on menu pizza was £9, called later in week give another try, about 6 in and 4 soon left kitchen had shut at 9.00pm. There is a café on site that does a better menu from breakfast to Sunday dinner, the Sunday dinner was very good and lots of it, deserves a rating of Excellent staff also very good.

A bit dated but clean and friendly The Tavern serves reasonable food and drink.The on site restaurant is licenced and serves a wider variety of dishes run by Jim and Claudia who gives a warm welcome.

New owners so all change, found the Tavern empty, food not as good, had I think it was supposed to be meat and potato it was like mush inside very poor, the fish and chips in Tavern are like ones you buy in local Coop piece of fish and portion of chips poor, People said drinks were dear. The café on site do a good menu and I recommend the Sunday dinner you will not leave hungry the café is not average cannot mark it separately it's excellent. Jim and Claudia are very friendly. My rating apply to them which are ***** for their Cafe

Our Family van is new to the site this year 2015 season, We called into the cafe for a brew and food , after our long trip down from nr leeds , the food and service were really good and it was busy. wefind the food very nice and great value for money , and they are very child friendly of couse, i am sure we will be regulars when we hoilday there with our many children and grandchildren . Van L3 Sylvia , julie & rob and CLANS .

£5 all you can eat (drinks extra). Sausages best part! And the mushrooms weren't the grilled dried type, they were boiled I think, sat Jucily in a Bain Marie pot until required! Get it eaten!Rest of park very pleasant bar slight high price on beer in tavern. Can't comment on price of chalet rental as it was hired for us as a gift, but 4 days well spent!

I've been visiting the chalet park for the last 18 years, prefering to go out of season as it's quieter. We used to rent a chalet from the site but unfortunately that has stopped under the new owners. This year we privately rented a caravan and I wasn't as keen - far to cramped and the beds too small.The site is undergoing alot of work on the chalets and they look much better. The grounds were tidier too. Alot of workmen around but that's understandable.We went along to "The Tavern" on our first night, (under new ownership) only to be met with signs stating that smoking was only allowed in a purpose built shelter - all well and good if you're the type to pop out of the pub for a quick smoke but then we realised that you weren't allowed to smoke at the tables IN THE GARDEN.This was confirmed by a member of staff, who said that "due to arguments", the new owners had decided to stop people smoking, except for in the shelter.We had the one drink and left and didn't return.We usually have some good night, meet new people and have a few drinks, so this spoilt our end of the day routine. Why on earth would they expect people to get up from a table in the garden, in the fresh air, walk around to the side of the pub to a shelter and sit in a there for a smoke. It's petty and I hope they reverse their decision, or I won't be going again.

Been coming to the chalet park for quite a few years , always have a nice time here , theres plenty of spaces and little parks for the kids to burn there energy off. the shop is good and stocked with essentials , the pub/club house is not bad and love going for food at the cafe/restaurant always do nice food and drink

Absolutely love this place out 5th year on site such a relaxing place and friendly place to stay my kids love coming here hoping this will be our yearly easter break for many years to come

Great place to go if you want to relax !chalet are nice to stay in and the catering is amazing as soon as you walk in the door.fish and chips are NOT floppy and sloppy.The arcades need updating on the site though:)

Stayed here twice last year enjoyedit so much we bought two chalets it has been taken over by a new company and is currently been done up I love coming here it's home from home and so friendly would highly recommend IT

Ok it's not the most modern, up to date place. Think hi De hi. Currently undergoing a makeover with some new funky looking chalets. Little shop, good chippy and cafe and nice play areas for the kids. Old fashioned club house and a launderette. Cheap and cheerful

Another top trip to the chalet park .home from home .made to feel welcome as usual .This a lovely park .friendly staff . What u see is what u get .We wouldn't have it any others way.hidden gem with lots of character. See you next year .

Had a chalet from a different owner this year. Have to be honest it wasn't up to scratch as the previous 2 we had in the past 2 years but it was tidy. Sofa and chair was old and saggy and had to put duvets under the seats to stop being eaten by the sofa! Had been owned by someone who had smoked and could smell the ciggy smell as it lingered in the wallpapers and furniture and also the hoover!! The site is good and peaceful, the shop people were nice as well. Never used the café this year but did so the last time and it wasn't too bad to be honest qand the fact that they do deliver to your chalet if you don't feel up to going out or cooking. We don't drink so didn't go to the clubhouse but last year my granddaughter and I went over to the amusements and she enjoyed that and the play area. I love this site and hopefully will be returning next year if we can.

Good visit, found site wants a good clean up in places, we ate the Tavern found it clean food hot and plenty of it, steak and ale wedge pie very big, good menu and staff friendly. At no time heard staff shout over the bar, have to say where food is concerned dogs must be on the floor away from tables.

this chalet/ caravan site is a nice place to stay especially with small children and the town centre and beach areas are very nice, chalet & cafe staff were nice, although i am disappointed that the site staff did not contact me to see why we left after 1 night instead of staying the 3 nights , also i didnt think much of the chips etc the man in shop was ok and shop could have done with alot more stock, the local people in town were very nice, but as in other reviews i agree that the owner of the tavern ( a hut that sells alcohol) on the chalet site is abrupt and argumentative and has a bullyish manner, instead of coming over quietly and asking us to put our disability assistance dog on the floor ( she is only small and a medical alert dog so sits on my husbands knee) instead the owner shouted past other people sitting at the bar & across the bar to put her on the floor instead of having a quiet word with us at the table, my husband explained that she needed to sit on his knee to alert him of a hypo or other illnesses that my husband has ( heart etc ) as she is a medical alert animal to a number of illnesses and that it had been ok the night before in the tavern and everywhere else so what was different about that night , but the owner said i dont care put her on the floor so my husband said do you know how embarassing that was and the owner said again i did not care so we left and the owner should have stayed in his bar but instead followed us outside arguing and my husband and i were discussing what had just happened and the owner & other members of staff interrupted again so my husband swore at him as the owner was very abrupt and bullyish & even made a threatening stance and my husband said go on then hit me and the owner said **** paraplegic *** & said ill have you thrown off for swearing at me but my husband did not call him personal names like paraplegic ( and yes he is in a wheelchair ) and that we were barred, we wouldnt go back there if they paid us to the tavern and although we still had 2 nights to go we left as we were beyond upset, the rest of the staff are nice and helpful. the owners of the site need to sort his problem out because they are going to loose alot of business through his attitude, he wouldnt last a week running a real pub in a town/city centre, if you go to this site try and walk into the town centre its much more friendlier especially "the book" pub ,

A member of my family bought a chalet on this park a year ago & we have been back & forth ever since. The staff are lovely & the breakfast in the cafe is to die for. See you again soon mablethorpe chalet park!

I had a few good meals. My mum was unhappy because her lasagne was cold. On the last day we went for breakfast and was told that there was a 50 minute wait, even though the venue wasn't even half full.

This park when you first arrive has well maintained lawns and is clean. However the Cafe/chip shop lets the site down it is dirty and tired inside the place needs a good clean and decorating. The food is bland and nothing special. The Chalets are comfortable with everything you need. I was bitten badly by bugs which has put me off a bit. Probably stick to Caravans as they seem cleaner.

The chalet park is great for families,however the fish & chips from the site chippy were possibly the worst I have ever eaten in my 43 years on this planet! Soggy yellow batter & sloppy fish inside . Such a shame when being so near to the sea. A real shame & as we fed 5 people at a cost of £20 & all went to bed hungry. Avoid!

Stayed for a full week was lucky to get great weather all week. Lovely chalet with all that you need for self catering. Lots to do and see. The beach is just a few minutes walk! Great affordable holiday and already booked for next year. Cafe was lovely. Shop had what we needed and tavern was inviting! My child loved playing on the small but adequate play areas and made some lovely friends.

Stayed in a private chalet, (owners very friendly will use again) found the site a pleasant site, has parks for the kids a club house with entertainment for adults and kids, small amusement arcade shop, has a chip shop and café with good food and they also deliver to your holiday home for you,All in all a nice week away,

We stayed in one of their California Chalets and to be perfectly honest they are extremely basic.The bathroom was unpleasant and unclean and smelt unclean as well. To be perfectly honest it looked's like a throw back from the Hi Di Hi days in the seventies.The Restaurant on the site is also basic of basic, the service is friendly enough, however the food is the same price as every other food facility in the area, however the others were better quality and does not taste like it has just come out of a packet.The Tavern is a basic pub, the staff were pretty friendly over all and the food is ok, the entertainment is average to good. It was a decent place to take the kids as there is a family room where it looks out onto the park as well as being close to the arcade on site.Over all the stay was average as we used it as a base to launch from and explore, however would i not go back next year and to finish, the saying is buy cheap buy twice. Also if you pay cheap you get cheap and you pay for what you get.

I booked a caravan on mcp turned up on Friday just for a long weekend and was disgusted by the caravan. The taps fell apart in my hands. Windows were broken, the seats were being stuck onto the walls with sticky tape. I got bites all over my legs whilst I was in there. The toilet system was all broken and coming apart. I also was not happy about having to pay for the electricity £1 meter!! The fish and chip shop....if you think waiting for 30mins for a couple of fish and chips is acceptable.. They had no idea what they was doing in there at all. I went in again to give them another chance wanting pie and chips and I had to wait for 35mins!! Absolutely ruined my weekend instead of staying for 3 nights that I had paid for we left after 1. Leaving some little boys very upset about their holiday. They should not be allowed to rent out the caravans in this state. Disgusted!!!

Here as i type with my two children (3y) and (11m) and cousin (20) staying in a chalet on g, site is clean, and safe with numerous kids play areas, tavern is plesant and kids room adequate for our needs with friendly staff. Well stocked shop. The cafe we love, delivery service is fantastic, friendly staff and gorgeous food with fair prices, even put kids tv on, you have to try the banana icecream! The beach is a trek over the dunes but clean and quiet. Sand and Land train run to main shops/beach/amusements at small fee or grab a streetkars taxi at £2.50 which when we dont have transport is brill with kids that dont want to walk after a full day playing. Only 1 negative was dog poop that wasnt picked up *sad face* overall good holiday!

Found the Tavern clean all food prep area kept up to a high standard good menu and reasonable prices the steak pie is excellent, staff very friendly.The Café Fish and Chip was clean owner welcoming and friendly, good menu very good prices really good steak with thick cut chips.

Come here EVERY easter have fond memories and each year never let's me down a lovely place for my children lovely little tavern with a Great kids room love returning year after year

We have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. Great service and very friendly. We will be back soon.

We've been to Mablethorpe a few times over the last couple of years. We've stayed at Haven Golden Sands twice and the chalet park once, definitely preferred the chalet park but would be happy to go back to either.Prices are fantastic even in the school hols. Chalets much more spacious than a caravan though basic. I really liked the 50's / 60's retro vibe of the park. The chalets are really nicely laid out, especially the ones to the back of the park which are in squares with open space in the centre, great for the kids to play. A nice quiet and traditional park with basic facilities the only downside is no pool but otherwise fab.Mablethorpe is lovely - small, quaint and traditional and the perfect spot for a short break with young kids. I think older children would be bored. The beaches are fabulous and we have had some amazing weather there. Queens park is great with a fantastic free paddling pool, boating lake, crazy golf, mini train, very cheap café and handy beach parking.Would definitely go back on a short break. I think Mablethorpe is best for short breaks as there's not that much to do for a week but if taking a car there's lots to do in Skegness and surrounding areas to fill out the week.

I spent many happy holidays in Mablethorpe as a child and decided to take my family. The tavern is unwelcoming with aggressive staff, chalets are basic but you get what you pay for. You can never go back and so I won't.

I took my niece, Isobelle and Nephew, Beau to Mablethorpe Chalet park for a weekend away!The park is clean, tidy and well kept. We used the chalet as a base to go to nearby Skegness, which kept them very amused visiting all the attractions. We also popped to Fantasty Island which was a few minutes away in the car.

good food good sirvice good with children clean nothink to much trubel good luck to you all for 2014 season

You are guaranteed the most fantastic choice of freshly cooked food. A very friendly service, and happy atmosphere. All meals are not only cooked to perfection, presentation is exceptional. Portion size is unbeatable . Prices are very realistic.Seating outside and in the rear garden, ideal if you have Dogs or if you prefer the fresh air. The park itself, has no reflection on this lovely little eatery, give it a go... You will NOT be disappointed.

Called in and food is great try a Trevor Special, sensible priced food cooked to order, kitchen is kept clean, everything from light snack, breakfast to large meal, staff very friendly.

Called into Tavern bar after dogs not allowed in bars at Golden Sands. Staff here serving cheap beer in a friendly atmosphere and dogs are allowed if well behaved. Didn't eat, but I noticed someone tucking into a wholesome meal, menu looked good and priced quite cheap. A little hidden gem :-)

We went here for the childrens entertainment during our holiday at Mablethorpe. The Tavern it a tired old place but functional with a large entertainments room and separate bar. It was certainly busy but the it was August bank holiday.The whole site looked like it was back int he 40's and was like stepping back in time to be honest. I guess if you wanted to see and feel what a seaside holiday was like for your grandparents then this is the place to go to !
