On arrival we were able to have an early check in which we…read morewere very grateful for after our 4 hour journey, however, the toilet was blocked and we had to wait an hour and a half for maintenance to arrive. The gas fire wouldn't light and the electric heater was faulty the gas boiler didn't look too safe either. The caravan smelt really bad of stale gin and there was mould on the bedding and around the windows. There was even a blood stain on one of the quilts. The 'restaurant' food was not of good quality, we had to go to reception to ask to be served at the bar even though the bar said it was open. We didn't expect much having read many previous reviews but we did expect somewhere warm, dry and clean. We didn't get it. When we reported faults to the staff, we were not taken very seriously as we were only here a few days anyway. I was glad to get home and we will not be visiting Woolacombe again.

This little holiday village shop is pretty good. Prices aside, as we all know these places charge…read moremore as they have a captive audience. In the morning if you don't feel like cooking breakfast or if you are camping you can get a cooked breakfast eg hash browns, bacon etc They sell all the usual holiday gear like buckets and spades and postcards but also sell food items and drinks as well. It is a well stocked shop and you usually can get something similar to what you would use at home. The thing that I really like about it is that it has a book swap shelf at the back. All you do is take along any books that you have read swap them for some you haven't read (book for book, eg you leave one you take one) and then put a donation in the charity box. I love this as I read so many books when away that I couldn't possibly stash all those in my suitcase. Staff are really nice and friendly.

I thought the employees at Porth Holiday Park were rude, but the ones here are Ruda! They are much…read moreRuda! They even named the place after how much Ruda they are! I adore Ruda... I holidayed here in the 1980s when I wasn't even in school yet, and then again a few years later when I was in school, and then as an adult, I drove back down here several times, enjoyed Croyde Beach, and even slept over here once or twice. They have a cool "flume" which is a waterslide, sticking out of their little mini swimming pool building. It looks like nothing now, but when I was a kid, it was absolutely thrilling. I have very embarrassing nude photos of me hanging out on the beach here. I was last here last year, and it's as lovely as ever. There were girls doing Yoga on the beach, it was windy and raining (it's England, it always is!), and it just felt like home. My Dad doesn't even have the BMW that he drove me and Mum down here in, on the little hedge-lined B-roads of Devon... they're not even married anymore, in fact they broke up just years after the first vacation here and neither one have ever returned, although I have. The best part is that you can walk from the accommodation directly onto the beach. What could be better. And this is review #1988 because that was probably one of the years I came here as a tiny lad, even though I may not have been born yet then. I was going to recreate the nude photo now that I am an adult, but I feel like with a fully grown man, it would be a lot Ruda.

Great place for a weekend break. We always come here once a…read moreyear. Mostly Camping. But this year it was a weekend in a caravan. We had a surprise 50th Birthday Bash - In a Hotel around the bay. And stayed here. The Swimming pool is great. And the evening entertainment was good too. Its only over the road from Croyde Beach which is a magnet for surfers. And there are plenty of surfing schools to help you take on those superb waves. We had an 8th birth caravan and was very comfortable. Even the double bed (come sofa). We have a lot of fond memories of Ruda. In the 10 years we have been visiting this place. It still holds great memories for me and my family. Ruda caters for all sorts of holiday's. I.e. Caravans of all sizes, camping. And there are some lovelly cottages right on the beach front, with its own private pool and Jacuzzi. These are a bit pricy, and you have to book well in advance. But really good if you want to treat yourself one year. There is a good walk to Baggy Point too, and you can see Woolacombe from around the bay. Also recommend a couple of pubs near by - Billy Buds is a great surfers pub for all the family - Great play area for the kids.
