    Sometimes the sun hols work out dearer than bookng direct with Haven or with private owners on the same sites, it's worth comparing the prices before you book, and if you book directly with an owner you sometimes get a better holiday with earlier check in times and you will know what your caravan is like and where it is before you go. Websites like Direct Holiday Homes list holiday caravans at different parks includng Haven ones.

    Have you ever booked direct with a caravan owner? I've looked into it a couple of times in the autumn but I still had to buy the passes direct with Haven and instead of £8 per person it was £39!!!! Not so cheap for a family of 5 when I was looking into it!!

    The £17.50 gets you a Haven "Deluxe" van. The charge for linen is £7 per bedroom. Sorry I don't know what the charge is for a highchair and travel cot.

    We have been twice on travel cots 1 place park resorts charged £10 but when we went to IOW not sure which company ran it was £10 deposite so guess case of finding out b4 you go, we paid both times as saved room in the car, thou this time as only going local we will take it with us.....make sure you request they take out a single bed in 1 of the rooms so you can fit the cot in the room and not the lounge like we had to at park resorts *not sure if they can take a bed out but this wasn't offered and i didnt think to ask*

    Hi
    I've received a priority code . Do you still need to send the tokens in after booking or do you just put the words in online?
    Thanks

    Can you really get them to take a bed out? The first time we went, we got a 3 bed luckily and hubby just put one on top of the other but last time we only had a 2 bed and it was a nightmare. Was going to try upgrading to a 3 bed if that was possible but might not have to.
