Hi, am surprised that Talacre Beach is Hoseasons.
My parents had a van there for many years - they were on what was called Park One and it was lovely. You are really near the beach and have a lovely pool area. There are a variety of pubs etc nearby and a chip shop I think.
At the end of the road towards the beach there are a few pubs and basic amusements ( a few ). Towards the road there are 2 main restaurants - one is called the Totem Pole and is a restaurant and has been there years and seems to do very well and a small pub / restaurant that has always had good feedback. I can't remember any Chinese / Indian sorry - but you aren't far from Prestatyn - there must be something there!
Near to the Presthaven Sands Caravan Park is The Bells which is a Brewers and they have improved over the last 2 years and now have a much bigger non smoking area and childrens area.
My parents haven't been there for about 7 yrs but it still has a good reputation and I know that the owners were very strict re the behaviour of visitors ----- we used to love our visits. Didn't know It was Hoseasons now -
Have a great holiday - any more questions please ask - by pm if need be

Hi Presto2

That was just what I wanted to read. I think we are staying on park 2 and it does say we are 5 minutes away from the main amenities but that's not a problem. We loved the beach at the Presthaven site and son just loved the sand dunes so hopefully it will be fine enough for us to get some sea air walking on the beach. Thanks for the eating out info. We are easy to please so will try any recommendations. I think we passed The Bells in may. We did eat on the site and in Rhyl on our last visit and we tried the chip shop near the Haven site.
OOH I am so ready for this break. Roll on friday when we break up from school.

If I have anymore questions I'll be in touch.

Many thanks

Mandy

Ooooh, THIS half term - you lucky people!

The pool is really nice and has a sauna as I remember - the beach is about a 5 minute walk away -----

Am sure you'll have a good break - hope the weather is good!

We're over mid week so will be thinking of you as we pass - may be at the Bells as well ----- if you go past on the 25th toot!!!!!



PS Have just remembered that at Talacre itself there is a pub near teh beach that used to do really good pub meals - cheap too - and a good 2 for the price of one on spirits if you're keen!
PPS Are you a teacher??????? If so ----------- ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm actually a Teaching Assistant. Went full time in September but school is going through a real hard time at the moment so really need this break!

Do like a vodka or 2 so any pub that does 2 for 1 will have open doors for me.

Will def be trying the pool. Son is a real waterbaby.

If we are in The Bells on 25th we are the ones with the Yorkshire accent.

Hi,

I'm in school too - we're from the Potteries ( Stoke on Trent ) though but my boss is from Yorshire so will be able to translate the accent if need be!
We're waiting for Ofsted too so I will be the small weary one propping up the bar - with a large double Brandy in hand!!!!!!!!

Have a good break - am sure you deserve it

What did you think of Talacre....would you recommend ?

Def recommend Talacre. Lovely site. We stayed in one of the Laurel caravans which are one of the smallest but for 3 of us was fine & clean. Lovely pool area with spa bath and sauna. Country club with entertainment at peak times. There is a diner but we never got round to trying it as we ate out 3 nights at the Hungry Horse in Rhyl on our way back from exploring North Wales.

There is also a couple of amusement arcades,chippy and a couple of pubs in Talacre village itself along with the Smugglers cafe on the way to the beach which did a lovely breakfast.

We had been planning to return to Talacre for October half term again this year but ours is a week later this year and it looks like Talacre is only half open & they are not offering mon-fri breaks for that week so we are planning to go to a Haven site is Wales instead.

Hope this has helped.

Mandy

Many thanks for your rep;ly....there is another Hoseasons site very near to Snowdon,which looks very nice too... I hope you enjoy your break at Haven.....

Hi, Has anyone ever been to Talacre Beach and can give me an idea of what it's like. We've found a bargain short break at the start of july £214 for 4 nights and are just worried it's too good to be true. Last time we got a bargain break in Wales the park turned out to be awful and the chalet was in a right mess and smelled terrible and kids were running up and down the corrider till quite late. We only ended up staying one night it was that bad. So we're understandably worried that we might have the same trouble here.
The accommodation is listed as new for 2009 so hopefully should still be in nearly new condition but we're just worried about the facilities. We'll probably be cooking most nights in the caravan to keep costs down but just wondered what the on site restaurant might be like in case we decide to splash out.

Any advice would be really appreciated as we really thought we couldn't afford a holiday this year but at that price we can just about manage.

Thanks in advance.

We're going to Talacre ourselves in August, park looks nice, not heard any bad reviews and lots of things for kids to do

HI,

Have been to Talacre Beach a number of times in the past and know folk who had a van there -- it was a lovely site. I think there are 3 'sections to it' and all 3 are great. There is a good space between vans and the shop, and the club and pool area used to be great. There's a beach a short walk away. Have never seen a bad van on there -

Hope you have a great holiday and the sunshines for you!

Thanks for that prest, is the evening entertainment and kids clubs any good ?
Not sure how much we'll be on the park, seems like theres plenty to do in the area.

Sorry don't know much abut the kids entertainment stuff

Sorry

Hello, I just wondered whether is any feedback with respect to Talacre from the last holiday season. This resort is currently on my shortlist and I would like to book something up very soon. I am particularly interested in the swimming pool, cleansiness of the place and the how good the children entertainment is.

Thanks in advance.

Simon
