Haven [ECD] - Dark Tranquillity

Haven Rockley Park, Poole

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.
