"It was a wonderful break and we made use of the complimentary tickets for Pembroke Castle and Oakwood Park. The weather was glorious and the atmosphere relaxing. We went to Caldey Island and visited the church we lit a candle for all the children with cancer and entered our prayers for them in the prayer book".

"Just to say thank you - we had a wonderful time at Kiln Park the weather was hot and we had some great days out. My little girl made lots of friends and she was upset when we had to leave".

"Thank you for allowing us to use your caravan in Kiln Park and for the wonderful day at Oakwood. We all enjoyed ourselves so very much and even the weather stayed dry for all but one day"

"Thank you for your lovely caravan - we built BIG sand castles, collected shells and we
Climbed some rocks. We went swimming twice, one in the indoor pool and the other time in the outdoor pool. I really like Tenby its my favourite place".

Thank you for letting us have the caravan. It was a much needed rest and the caravan was lovely we all had a great time".

"Caravan was clean, well equipped and warm. Kids loved the beach and the indoor pool on site was nice and warm. Enjoyed the evening shows, visited Heatherton twice - great value for money, as always Oakwood was a great day out. Thank you so much."

We wanted to write to say a big thank you for such a wonderful week that we had in the caravan at Kiln Park. We were lucky to have good weather and especially enjoyed building sand castles and swimming on the beach. A welcome break for us all from the chemo. Thank you again.

"We thoroughly enjoyed the caravan as we had never stayed in one before. We met new friends and it was a pleasure to see Aneurin running and playing like any other 4 year old. We had great days out at The Dinosaur Park and Pembroke Castle but their favourite day was mackerel fishing where they got to bring the fish home for mammy to cook!!"
