best haven in dorset, please?

It's my daughter's birthday next weekend (she's 6) and instead of a party we said we'd take her away for the weekend. She love's Pontins and we normally go there, but they've got special events on and are fully booked. So any advise on which haven is best in dorset.
They are:-
Rockley Park
Littlesea
Sea view
Weymouth bay

and is haven any good in general, my daughter loves doing all the different things with the characters in Pontins and the pool!

Thanks in advance for any help and sorry if it sounds long winded but running short of time now and don't want to let her down. :)

    Cheek the reviews on trip advisor.

    We think Littlesea is best.
  • I've only been to Rockley Park and it's beautiful plus right on the beach. Weymouth and Seaview are linked (with Seaview the smaller of the two) so whichever you go to you'll have access to the facilities at the other. They'll all have lots of activities and entertainment at this time of year.

    the activities and shows are the same at all of them...

    i always pick the one with the best indoor pool for the type of swimming they are up to at that age....

    ie now they want a pool they can touch the bottom in and slides / flumes / lazy river etc...

    plus i try and choose one with adventure golf as they love that...

    have fun

    i have not been to any but the new lazy river at Waymouth Bay looks great - does anyone know if it is open in Autumn? or does it close after the summer season?

    what are the pools like at the others?

    let us know which one you choose and what you think of it after your return

    Littlesea for me too. Get a private rental works out much cheaper most of the time too.
    :cool: hard as nails on the internet . wimp in the real world :cool:
  • Littlesea has 2 indoor pools, one which is mainly for adults proper swimming and then the general fun pool which has a separate toddlers pool attached. There are sessions where they get inflatables out and have swimming lessons, aqua jets etc

    We have had our caravan on the site for 11 years or so and dont go into the pools much now the kids are grown up but they are always kept in clean condition with plenty of lifeguards. Its lets so much we hardly get down there ourselves.
