Its like Cleethorpes but without the glamour  :-) 

But some love it, so depending what you are looking for, you might too.  Seems a strange choice to actualy travel any distance to though when you consider what options there are within that range.  It does though have Mr Mayhem  :-)

Anyway, its far too posh for me in my "commercial van"

Hope you enjoy yourselves wherever you go.

I think everyone is being a bit unfair. I lived in Brean for 6 years and I loved it there. It all depends on what you want out of a holiday. I used to go there when I was a kid and loved it. Though I must say there are better places around. If you like walking in countryside then Cornwall is definitely the place to go. If you're after decent clubs then Brean's not really the place, it's more of a family resort. All the sites and pubs there are aimed at family entertainment. They have a decent (though expensive) fun park and the general overall feel of the place is quite welcoming. You do get a lot of Welsh and Bristol chavs about but where in Britain don't you nowadays. If you are thinking of coming to the South West I would continue into Cornwall. I live here now and don't ever intend moving. But beware of the traffic. There is only 1 way in and out of Cornwall (the A30) and in the high season it can take up to 7 hours to travel 80 miles. The worst of the traffic comes just before you reach Bodmin so I would advise travelling mid week reaching Cornwall either very early or late evening. If you're coming out of season the traffics not too bad though I would still expect to wait around Goss Moor and Truro in rush hour.

Anyway have a nice holiday wherever you go.....

Brean V Cornwall (even with all the traffic congestion). Cornwall would win hands down.  I grew up in Bristol and Brean was local for the odd Sunday out or a weekend away. Several years on after moving away from the south west - last summer revisited Brean with my 2 kids for a weekend. What a dissapointment!!! Never again!!! Foul language ALL weekend long. Police on the campsite several times - never found out why though.  It was boring and in my opinion rough - maybe just an unlucky weekend away but I will NEVER return.  There are lots on here (Mr Mayhem included) that sing its praises and lots that go back for more!! Horses for Courses and all that but its not for us!!

Greetings Everyone,

I am only praising Brean from what I know and have seen.

It is my personal experience that the place it self can do with a facelift but then again there are many places a lot worse.

I only post on here for two reasons :-

1) To keep in touch with those people who come down and see my show

2) To meet and chat with some fine people.

Everyone has their own opinions about the place, but it is where I do my job and its a nice place to be.

Regards all

Mr Mayhem

The good thing about Brean is that once you get there you are only three hours from Cornwall at the most. Please, please get up three hours earlier and have a brilliant holiday. Trevornick in Holywell Bay http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/details.asp?revid=2685 is great.

Hi

When you see the signs for brean carry on thats my answer.I love cornwall.
