We love our 'cheaper' four day stays throughout the country on Holiday Camping sites, like Haven. Driving into this site we were a little concerned as the road leading to it was through an Industrial site. However, once past the Littlesea placard our trepidation disappeared. Our first meeting with staff was with an extremely cheery security guard who directed us to Reception. Again, everything went so smoothly. The young guy was so helpful, even to extent of directions to the nearest Superstore. I will say that every member of staff was so friendly, and not acting friendly but it came across as REAL. They are great.
Reaching our caravan, beautifully situated amongst the well kept gardens, we were quite shocked at the size. Extremely clean with every item, on hand, that we would need for our short stay. Flat screen TV, as if we would need it except for the morning news, nice bathroom with shower (reasonable water pressure) and three bedrooms (saved making the bed every night LOL). Wonderful.
As older campers we didn't use the facilities, except the bar. However, there was so much on hand for the ankle biters. Crazy golf, two pools, tennis etc etc. Onsite are a few eateries, Pizza, Mash and Barrel (food looked good and an extensive menu), Starbucks (prefer Costa LOL) and fish and chips of exceptional quality. Great fish cooked as you wait in lovely light batter with a massive amount of chips. Did you hear me complain?
One drawback of this site is the lack of decent pubs within walking, or short driving, distance. Now many sites would jump on the chance of fleecing their captive audience. This site, or maybe Haven as a whole, avoid this. Food was more than reasonably priced and the bar was exceptionally good value. After a few pints I usually go onto vodka on the rocks. I noticed may favourite behind the bar and decided to treat myself to a double Grey Goose. The price was ridiculously low and a couple more went down a treat most evenings. Again, those staff were fantastic.
All in all, a lovely short break and I would totally recommend this site to anyone, especially if you have children.
Thank you everyone for a wonderful time. read more
