  • We have stayed at them both and prefered Orchards more to do and better entertainment club small so in summer holidays it gets packed and you struggle to get a seat. The best one we have stayed at is Devon Cliffs, its massive and loads to do if you dont mind the drive (depends where you are) then try this one, lovely views, loads of places to visit and a nice big park.

    i think it depends on what sort of holiday you want, ie if you have young children, or teenagers, if you enjoy swimming pools and flumes, if you want sports activities.

    If you post more about what sort of holiday you want then we can recommend... I see you are in the east midlands so there is lots of choice in either direction....from active 5 star haven parks to quieter smaller Haven parks...

    Hi

    Littlesea is a large, clean park and has won best Haven Park for the past few years. Near to Poole, Bournemouth and Swanage on the south coast. Stayed there twice and had a good time.

    If you want to try Norfolk go to Wild Duck as that has been the runner up and we had a good holiday there and you have the Norfolk Broads to explore as well as being near the coast.
  • Hi I have only stayed at Coombe Haven.

    The only issue with this sight is that some of the caravans are on a steep slope, meaning you cannot park your car next to your van. Ok but an issue if you have little ones and lots of luggage to transport. Also it is next to a landfill site. So is you are on the slope you get Landfill View, I have never noticed a smell or anything from it and have stayed there 3 times in the past.

    Primrose Valley is excellent.

    Or for something a bit different Stanwix Park in Cumbria is good, as is Haggerstone Castle in Berwick.

  • Another vote for Litttlesea, if you like walking there are some great walks and some even greater views.

    The park is always clean and tidy, security and very helpful, I think the club rooms gets busy peak season, there are tennis courts, crazy golf, swimming pools if your an active type person. Weymouth has a great beach and a good selection of shops.
