Thanks for the review. I've stayed in caravans three times at Haven, although only once in a bronze. My biggest gripe is how often the previous occupants don't bother to wash up properly and just cram dirty stuff, or half washed up stuff into the cupboards and drawers. One time they even nicked a load of stuff that I had to get replaced. I don't necessarily blame the cleaning staff but they should at the very least give it the once over.
It's such a shame that some people can't leave them clean and tiny, it would make it so much easier for the cleaner. We always try and leave it as we found it.
Yes, we really enjoyed Church Farm and will be going back again this year. Its a smaller park, but the staff were lovely and the area is great for nature. I have a video on it in the Haven playlist if you want to know more. 🙂
Every year, new things seem to be standard, double glazing, radiators, bluetooth speakers, etc. are now in all the newer caravans. I remember the caravans when I was younger, you were lucky if the front door fit correctly without gaps and you had a separate seating area for the table 🙂
@@bakedbeans9546 I stayed in one this year (not Haven) that was older, I think 2011, you could see all the differences and updates to the modern caravans.
It's brilliant, I feel like they made such good use of the space, there were one or two things I didn't like, but overall I would happily stay again - although I'm also excited to see what the other grades are like when we stay later in the year and if they are worth the extra money.
@@grim9970 Oh yes, I did have this experience at a different site. They do state on the website that the interior design may be different depending on the manufacturer, I didn't see this until the next time unfortunately xx
Me and my family go to haggerston castle every year and we got a bronze caravan and i looked at this review and i found it very helpful because you show how much storage,rooms and space there is in the caravan but this year we got a different one . Thanks for the review
@@KarionTravelling It’s good, as it I don’t think of things to take like oven gloves or towels lol. Have you ever stayed at the Wild Duck park in Norfolk?
Hi Kari, Could I check that was definitely a Bronze Caravan you were in as several of the features were those mentioned as being specific to the Silver over Bronze versions (such as 3/4 tall Fridge / Freezer rather than under counter, DVD player in the TV etc.) Thanks 🙂
Yes, this was definitely a bronze caravan, and it was the same as the other bronze ones we stayed in. But they can differ a little. We had one with a dishwasher, even though it's not listed on the spec. And each year old bronze drop off the list and new ones are added that might have new features.
We stayed at Church Farm in bronze the other year and our Caravan was practically identical to what you show in this video. Off to Perran Sands next week, so hoping it is as nice! And very handy to have your video to remind us what is looked like/what to bring
Hello! We are off to Perran soon. Is the bronze 2 bed as this video? Is that fridge freezer the same? Because it says on the app that it’s only a below counter fridge.
@@rb6582 the one we had in both Perran Sands and Church Farm so far were full size fridges with a very small freezer compartment in the top so assume this could well be the standard for all the caravans? or we got lucky both times
@rb6582 they are all very similar. I filmed this a few years ago, and sometimes the spec changes when they have newer model vans in. But I've also arrived to bronze with dishwashers and no mention of that on the spec. It may also differ if you're given an owners van.
I think we've been lucky with Haven and generally had good caravans. That hasn't been the case everywhere, we recently stayed in one at another park that was on it's last legs. If it wasn't old, ripped or broken it was dirty.
Our heating didn't work in one of them, but we called reception and they sent an engineer who sorted the problem. I haven't been to any Haven parks in Wales or Scotland yet, but they are on my list. I hope you have a lovely break.
I haven't been to Berwick yet, but of the Haven's I have visited, I haven't found one I didn't like ;). The bronze caravans are lovely, I'm sure you'll have a brilliant time.
I like the parks with nice beaches. Although I'm not a big sunbathing fan, I do like to walk along them, especially later in the afternoon when it isn't so hot - or weirdly when it rains! I think it's the sound of the waves, it's just so relaxing.
Did yours come with a parking bay...because its a bit misleading when I called haven they said some do some don't but on the pictures it shows as it does come with one
@@zoepurcell77 it probably depends on the park. Ours had a parking bay outside, but I have been to a couple before (staying in deluxe and prestige) that didn't have parking directly outside the caravan, it was in a parking bay nearby.
I think it depends on the park. Our last Haven holiday, we were met at the entrance by a team member and given our welcome pack and keys. We had an email the week before with our check-in time and the night before letting us know where our accommodation was on the park.
@@KarionTravelling thanks we've recieved the check in time havent got the caravan details because its not the day before so was just wondering if the keys were at main entrance or in the caravan
Just watched this video before my trip at the end of the month to Haven Skegness, so nice to see what to expect! We’ve booked a Bronze caravan but I can’t seem to find any information about where I am meant to put a travel cot?? For context we’re travelling 2 adults 1 - 5 year old and 1 - 18 month old.. would like them in the same room but not sure if you can request for one or the single beds to be removed? I haven’t stopped in a caravan since I was little and I have contacted haven but not heard anything back 😩 not sure if you’ll know anything regarding this? x
In some of the two bed bronze you could put the cot at the end of the master bed, I think a lot of people put them in the living room. I've not heard of Haven removing a bed, but I have seen people stack one on top of the other if neither are being used.
It depends on the activity. Swimming and some kids' activities are free (but need to be pre-booked). Most of the sports activities have an extra charge.
I believe that is correct, none of the caravans we have stayed in have had their own WiFi. However, if you're near the main facilities, sometimes theirs is strong enough to work in your caravan.
Having stayed in a bronze caravan recently in Somerset, I can definitely say they aren't as clean as that they didn't hoover ours from the previous clients or change the bed it had a big patch of dog wee on the duvet cover definitely need new cleaners this is an on going complaint throughout all of the haven sites hopefully our next one will be better cleaned amd we won't have to wipe it all down ourselves and ask for new bedding and a hoover a member of staff did come to check and confirmed it hadn't been done could you not get a supervisor to go round and check before they are released
That's such a shame. I think 95% of our Haven caravans have always been really clean. We always re-wash plates, cups, and cutlery regardless of how clean they look. I think that is just habit now.
@KarionTravelling I think you should go on tripadvisor before saying at least 95% if you all do the plates and everything as habbit surly with that it should be 100% not fair on the 5% to walk into mess haven staff haven't or cant be bothered to clean as we travelled as 2 family's in 2 caravans they were both dirty the member of staff that came to look at the caravan was lovely and also said it was filthy herself we witnessed members of cleaning staff just sat in the caravan on their phone and the next person that went in had to complain because it wasn't clean cleanliness comes up on every site we have looked at definitely something that needs major improvements
Do you mean the entertainment pass to access the main facilties? It depends on the park and time of year. If you're renting privately, you will need to contact the owner as the prices vary.
If you buy direct from Haven, they come included (unless you choose a hideaway break). If it's a private rental, the owner will have more information on passes. Generally, they are most expensive during the summer/school holidays.
Hi thank you, sorry I don't know for certain, but I haven't seen any like that during our visits. I would give the park you're going to a call and ask. Most of the caravans we have seen that have decking have patio style furniture - but they could be owner vans.
We've been very lucky with our caravan and not had a dirty one yet - until our last visit and we arrived to find out van hadn't been cleaned, but Haven were fab and had organised a new one before I got back to reception.
Great video! Myself and some family are visiting primrose valley this year and we have gone for a haven bronze pet friendly caravan. Do you know if bedding is provided for the sofa bed is there a vacuum available to use? My dog is an akita and sheds alot so will need to vacuum regularly. Also is there a TV in the double bedroom aswell as the living area?
Bedding will be provided as long as they know you'll be using it, it's often in one of the wardrobes. I've never seen a hoover in any of the caravans, I'm not sure if you would be able to request to borrow one from reception - but we always take our own Dyson stick. Some of the bronzes have had TVs in the main bedroom, but some haven't, so it's a bit of pot luck. I hope you have a great time, we now usually book bronze because they are really nice, but not too expensive.
There is a good Facebook group called Haven Holidays (currently has 71k members), you could ask about the park your visiting to get people's reviews. In general I take my own sharp 🔪 and ✂️ and trays for cooking. The onsite fish and chip shops tend to be hit and miss. Swimming tends to be quiet early afternoon. I hope you have a great holiday. 😊
That's fab, I'm glad it was useful. I hope you have a good time at the Orchards, we've been there and enjoyed it. The bronze vans are lovely and I would definitely recommend them.
The bronze are wider and generally speaking have better extras, like an en suite and bedroom tvs. I would always book a bronze now, unless the saver was a lot cheaper.
It will depend on the park and the caravan. Most of the parks I have been to I have been able to park at least one car next to my van. But a couple I have had to park a short way off in a parking bay.
All the Haven owned bronze we have stayed in this year have been like this, but I know they can vary slightly by park and model. But this should give you a good idea of what to expect 😊
I don't generally tend to go peak season because it's too busy and too expensive - but I know they often have extra entertainment on during the busiest weeks. The bigger parks are show parks and their entertainment teams do most of the daily shows, the smaller parks have a lot more visiting acts which could be a singer or a magician for example.
@@KarionTravelling while you were at church farm what sort of things did they have in the day for children this time of the year as if I took them there I could still get them to school as per your tip x
@@sunstar5950 there was a morning kids show and possible meet and greet, but not much apart from paid activities and swimming. I don't think the kids would miss much by going to school and we managed to fit everything in during the evenings. 😊
@@sunstar5950 they had some brilliant deals March and October time because its beginning and end of season, or try the last minute deal finder - there can be some good deals if you're available at short notice. 😊 I'm currently editing the Church Farm vlog which will give you an idea of what it's like there.
At the end of last year they renamed all the caravan grades, deluxe/prestige is now a bronze. I think this caravan was nicer than deluxe we have stayed in before.
Hiya. I liked your review. Clear and detailed. Can you just confirm the "bronze" definitely has a master en-suite? My partner has booked a bronze for June 23 and she was under the impression it didn't have the en-suite. Thanks in advance. PS. Your wee girl hiding in the shower cubicle with you was so cute!! Ian and Laura
Thank you. ☺️. No, not all of them do. We've found all our two bed ones have so far, but not all of the three beds. It varies from manufacturer and park. If that is something you really want it might be worth contacting the park, asking them to check and then picking your van - it costs a little more but may be worth it if an en suite is important. I hope you have a fantastic holiday.
It may have been an owner bronze, or you could have been given an upgrade to silver. They do vary a bit, but dishwashers aren't a standard feature of a bronze caravan. 😊
At 1:40 you said there was free WiFi in the caravan? Is that true? I’ve stayed at greenacres quite a few times and haven’t seen any WiFi networks available except in the clubhouse. How did you find it, if you don’t mind me asking? Did you have to ask in the office about it?
There is free WiFi if you're close to the main facilities, but it doesn't currently reach all caravans. It was a bit patchy in the evening when everyone was trying to use it, but not too bad early morning.

I love Caravan Holidays
We loved this caravan, it felt so much bigger than the deluxe we stayed in last year. Caravan holidays seem to be a very British family thing. 😁

Don't they come out and redo it, then if you're still not happy you get up to a full refund?
Yes, we really enjoyed Church Farm and will be going back again this year. Its a smaller park, but the staff were lovely and the area is great for nature. I have a video on it in the Haven playlist if you want to know more. 🙂
@@KarionTravelling can you book holiday speak to person on phone l don't like book holiday on line
You can call up and book over the phone, but it costs extra, unless you require special assistance.
It's good to see the standard of bronze caravans have improved, 15 years ago this caravan would have been classed as a silver or gold
Every year, new things seem to be standard, double glazing, radiators, bluetooth speakers, etc. are now in all the newer caravans. I remember the caravans when I was younger, you were lucky if the front door fit correctly without gaps and you had a separate seating area for the table 🙂
@@KarionTravelling yeah I also remember how cold and shabby they used to be, they'd have an old gas fire heating up the full caravan lol
@@bakedbeans9546 I stayed in one this year (not Haven) that was older, I think 2011, you could see all the differences and updates to the modern caravans.
Awesome video Kari! I’m going back to my Caravan tomorrow, since I’m an Owner, and I’m just so thrilled to be getting out again, Have a good one!

You're so welcome!
Spot on video just booked 2 holidays with Haven and since the name change bit lost as to what to expect but this has definitely put my mind at ease

We had this same caravan at primrose valley in Filey in July it was ok lots of room but basic

Can you fit a travel cot in the double bedroom?
Some of them you can, it depends on the model and layout. The master bedrooms in the three bed tends to be smaller.

It will depend on the park and the caravan. Most of the parks I have been to I have been able to park at least one car next to my van. But a couple I have had to park a short way off in a parking bay.
We are going to dorset littlesea caravan… will be that same like this. Thanks
All the Haven owned bronze we have stayed in this year have been like this, but I know they can vary slightly by park and model. But this should give you a good idea of what to expect 😊
Hi are towels provided ? Xx
Not in the saver or bronze models no, you need to take your own. 🙂
How do you find entertainment on these parks compares with peak and off peak season thanks
I don't generally tend to go peak season because it's too busy and too expensive - but I know they often have extra entertainment on during the busiest weeks. The bigger parks are show parks and their entertainment teams do most of the daily shows, the smaller parks have a lot more visiting acts which could be a singer or a magician for example.
@@KarionTravelling while you were at church farm what sort of things did they have in the day for children this time of the year as if I took them there I could still get them to school as per your tip x
@@sunstar5950 there was a morning kids show and possible meet and greet, but not much apart from paid activities and swimming. I don't think the kids would miss much by going to school and we managed to fit everything in during the evenings. 😊
@@KarionTravelling think I'll look into that one thanks 👍
@@sunstar5950 they had some brilliant deals March and October time because its beginning and end of season, or try the last minute deal finder - there can be some good deals if you're available at short notice. 😊 I'm currently editing the Church Farm vlog which will give you an idea of what it's like there.
Hiya I'm at Reighton sands in the winter, I was just wondering if you fancied doing a saver caravan tour of mine Please 🙏
Hi, sorry I'm nowhere near Reighton Sands, is your saver van very different?
Have you stayed in any 3bed bronze
Yes, the master bedroom is usually a little smaller and you don't always get a second toilet. But the living room/ kitchen is usually the same.
hi i booked a deluxe caravan but after sometime on the detail i see they change it to bronze,why is that?
At the end of last year they renamed all the caravan grades, deluxe/prestige is now a bronze. I think this caravan was nicer than deluxe we have stayed in before.
Hiya. I liked your review. Clear and detailed. Can you just confirm the "bronze" definitely has a master en-suite? My partner has booked a bronze for June 23 and she was under the impression it didn't have the en-suite. Thanks in advance. PS. Your wee girl hiding in the shower cubicle with you was so cute!! Ian and Laura
Thank you. ☺️. No, not all of them do. We've found all our two bed ones have so far, but not all of the three beds. It varies from manufacturer and park. If that is something you really want it might be worth contacting the park, asking them to check and then picking your van - it costs a little more but may be worth it if an en suite is important. I hope you have a fantastic holiday.
??/ But I had a dishwasher in mine, also a tv in main bedroom - was that bronze ??
It may have been an owner bronze, or you could have been given an upgrade to silver. They do vary a bit, but dishwashers aren't a standard feature of a bronze caravan. 😊
At 1:40 you said there was free WiFi in the caravan? Is that true? I’ve stayed at greenacres quite a few times and haven’t seen any WiFi networks available except in the clubhouse.
How did you find it, if you don’t mind me asking? Did you have to ask in the office about it?
There is free WiFi if you're close to the main facilities, but it doesn't currently reach all caravans. It was a bit patchy in the evening when everyone was trying to use it, but not too bad early morning.
Where is this ?
This caravan was in Church Farm, but they should all be fairly similar.
Hi can you barbecue at Riviera sands thank you
I did see some disposable bbqs outside caravans, so I believe so, but I would give the park a call just to double check. 😊
❤
👍
Not trying to brag but I've got a gold caravan I think
Did you get a surprise upgrade? Is it a lot better than bronze?
this is not to do with the caravan, but you seem like such a great person. good vibes
Thank you very much, that's sweet of you to say. ❤
Is Haven park donating to campaigns to ignore rental raises to remove the elderly and people on fixed incomes?
Sorry I have no idea, you'll have to contact their head office.
