This was the last season for this particular venue - the site is to close to the public from early 2025 to provide accommodation for 500 workers constructing the Sizewell C nuclear power station. The accommodation was a little 'tired' however the staff worked hard to ensure we had a good stay.

this was a holiday at a giveaway price ,never to be seen again next year
We had the most amazing weekend the staff were so nice and helpful,nothing was too much for them always had a smile on their faces..The entertainment was fabulous the chalets were lovely and warm very clean we will definitely be booking again and highly recommending Pakefield Holiday Village to our friends and family
Pontins gets bad press but it is a nice place to go for a break. I stay there with my parents and we like the food and the entertainment. We played pool and my chalet was lovely.
Really enjoyed my stay, took me back to nostalgic days....menu was great and more than adequate, friendly staff and clean chalet - with fridge too! Great to hear the hubbub and laughter in the dining area! Floor shows are top notch, too - excellent performers. Thoroughly enjoyed it, will be back!

There was so many kids when saying online that it’s adults only and food was so bad we walked to mcdonald’s one day
Booked an overnight stay before a music festival at the site, we were told dinner and breakfast were included. When we got there, nothing !! The restaurant , 2 bars and even the shop were shut. So we were stranded in the middle of nowhere with nothing to eat or drink. £11 each way in a taxi just to have some tea. Disgusting. Do not bother. No wonder they are closing down 👇

This booking stated adults only but it was full off kids would not have booked if I had known. Been many times and there has never been any kids. It put me off going to the club house food has gone down hill rooms a bit tired.

NEEDS UPDATING IT WAS LIKE GOING BACK TO 50's OLD AND DIRTY APPARENTLY THE HOUSEKEEPER ONLY HAS 25 MINUTES TO CLEAN AND MAKE UP BEDS, BEING A HOUSEKEEPER MYSELF THIS DOES NOT GIVE THEM TIME TO DO THE EXTRAS LIKE SKIRTING BOARDS ETC. THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL AND THE FOOD WAS COOKED BRILLIANTLY AND SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM, WE HAD A LOVELY WEEKEND AND WOULD GO BACK AGAIN.
The resort was advertised as “Adult Only” but when arrived was greeted by unruly children screaming and shouting. The chalet was in a disgusting condition with mould everywhere in the bathroom, the bed linen just thrown on the bed, no hand towels, sink filthy and stale water left in the kettle. The chalet had obviously not been cleaned after the previous occupant. The evening buffet dinner was passable but not very hot. The check in process was an absolute joke. We were so upset with this holiday village that we left soon after our passable dinner on the first night of our two night stay. NEVER AGAIN!!!!
ROOM :- floor dirty, bath only for 3 year olds to use as can’t fit an adult in it, shower cold or to hot, no in between, bed mattress was made of plastic and so uncomfortable we left after 2 days, couldn’t stay there a single day longer.
ENTERTAINMENT:- not to bad as it gos, bingo and live entertainment was good so can’t complain there.
STAFF:- nice people and always there to help.
FOOD:- breakfast was terrible, bacon looked like it was from the day before, didn’t taist good, Dinner was different everyday and to be fair wasn’t that bad, fish and chips and pork belly was decent.
POOL:- bloody freezing.
WI-FI:- only in club house
NO PHONE SIGNAL AT ALL IN ROOMS, normally this isn’t a problem but we needed to keep in contact with the kids so had to keep going to the cliff edge just to get signal.
OVERALL:- if your an oap and don’t mind plastic beds and bad food then this is the place for you
I didn’t even go and I’m not happy that your services and that of pakefeild have been totally unprofessional I had good reasons to cancel an rebook and you couldn’t sort it out and I have tried an tried to contact pakefeild numerous times ringing and emails with no response I feel totally let down and yet you are sending me emails asking me how my stay was??? Clearly you can see I didn’t check in as my daughter has been in hospital since Tuesday having a baby! I will never use your services or pakefeild ever again I have had the worse experience ever with you and them! Thanks for nothing and I will be taking this further I feel I have been scammed by you and pakefeild! Regards Gareth innes
