Talacre Beach Resort

Getting in and out of the site was straightforward, and it was clean and tidy. The Lighthouse pub was great fun and dog friendly. The amusements were closed, though, and there are very few amenities nearby. The location itself is lovely, with a quick walk to a beautiful beach and lighthouse. Rhyl and places like it are a fair distance away, so you'd need a car. The van's cleanliness was dire. There was blood on the back of the bathroom door, dried food on the sofa cushions, and what looked like food fingerprints all over the wooden dining chairs. Holes in the bathroom door had been covered with a brown substance, and there was what looked like snot on the bedroom wall beside the small beds.

The fish and chips were lovely and fairly reasonably priced, and the beach was beautiful and well kept, about a ten minute walk away. Our caravan was modern, clean and had everything we needed. It had no outdoor seating, though, and the caravans were packed quite close together. The main reception was separate from the caravan area, around a five minute walk away. We didn't use the facilities. We tried to swim but the pool was full. During busy periods like school holidays, you have to get there first or be prepared to wait around. A pool booking system would be more helpful, as I've found that works better at other holiday parks.

The caravan and site were lovely and clean, with plenty to keep the kids entertained. It was handy for the shops, beach and nearby town. A few things let it down: the shower was only a trickle and hard to turn off, and the TV still didn't work after we tuned it. The wifi cloud didn't work either. It was a stuffy, warm weekend, and the window in the twin bedroom wouldn't open.

We had a great time. Everything was enjoyable, the facilities were tidy and clean, and the staff were really helpful. The fish in the picture is from the chop shop just up the road. For a pint, The Point is really nice. The popcorn was dangerously addictive.
