Advantages: A lovely place for a short family break Disadvantages: Our caravan was a long way from reception
Overview
We booked this family break last September, and whilst it has seemed a long time coming, was well worth the wait?
This holiday is no center parcs break, but can be as relaxing, and as planned or as relaxed as required.
There are things to keep all the family involved, heavily involved around sports, kids clubs/story time, a very packed arcade, and swimming pool area.
The Caravan
This is the second Haven site we?ve visited, and booking early meant we got a large 3 bedroom static caravan, one double room, and two twin rooms for £ 249.00 for 3 nights (Friday thru til Monday). I was planning to use Tesco vouchers to pay part of the bill, but be aware if you use the book early discount they cant be combined!
The caravan had a very spacious living area, with a wrap around sofa that would seat about a dozen? included ...

Advantages: none Disadvantages: FROZEN DINNER! POT HOLES SO DEEP, YET NO LIGHTING. OVER CROWDED CAMPING AREA! HAD TO LEAVE EARLY!
Arrived at Haven (Wild Duck) Great Yarmouth on a Tuesday morning, in September, after all the children had gone back to school.
We went to the pool the next day, and all the staff were sitting at a table playing on their mobile phones! And wouldn't let us in to the pool untill ten minutes later, when they had finished on their phones! (Haven policy states 'you will never see staff using mobile phones' of course...
We went to the restaurant, for the Wednesday night curry offer, not a good offer AT ALL! Frozen curry! Even the staff said they would not eat it!
That evening, one of our friends fell down one of the many pot holes and sprained her ankle, due to poor lighting, and the toilet blocks being a five minute walk away (in the dark!)
On our second from last night we were woken up by our camping area being crowded by other families ...

HOLIDAYMAKERS THOUGHTS HAVEN BERWICK
We arrived looking for holiday fun
In Berwick under the Haven park sun
The caravan park looked nice and clean
But the caravan we had couldn`t have been seen
No hot water not even heat
Not even bedsocks to warm your feet
We make the beds up for your stay
Just a little more you have to pay
Our bed sheets and pillowcases wern`t even there
Haven had their money so why care
The reception desk staff were not charming
In fact their attitude was quite alarming
They could not give a toss
We won`t come back that`s your loss
The showbar if you can call it so
Half the advertised acts never did show
The bar staff were a total disgrace
They act if they own the place
If you complain about cloudy beer
Your told that?s how it comes out the pipes up here
The bar staff need ...
