There was one I went to in Cornwall, somewhere east of Newquay (not sure exactly where now), probably 10 years ago. It looks exactly the same design of buildings, probably built in the 60’s and last maintained in the 70’s.

Paper thin walls, so you could hold a conversation with your neighbours if you wished, we spent most evenings competing with the neighbours to see who could listen to their tv the loudest.

The rooms were awful too, damp, cold and dark, the massive window at the front meant everyone could see inside and there were always kids running around and peering in. They were terraced so no side windows and the rear windows looked out onto a steep overgrown bank, no window in the tiny kitchenette or bathroom, and no shower in the bathroom.

I seem to remember the furniture was similarly ancient and very very sparse, I had a single bed and a single night stand in my bedroom, no other furniture, not that you could fit anything much else in. No pictures, no lamps only the single lightbulb/shade dangling from the ceiling. All painted beige, with brown carpets maybe? At least dark coloured carpet, so you couldn’t see the stains.

Still I was young and it was cheap, we spent most of our time in the holiday camps pub. Maybe that was the point of the oppressive accommodations.
