    Out of the Haven ones Primrose Valley is the largest and would have the most happening. Then Blue Dolphin, Reighton Sands is only a small park down a very narrow windy lane!! Cayton bay is a small park and only has a tiny 'paddling' pool!! We have been to 43, 45 and 46 and just used the sites as a base to explore the area (which is lovely!). Check the Haven website for more park information. :)
    No buying toiletries challenge - possibly for most of 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015!
    £1 in sealed pot for each UU (2011 135/500:D) 2012 have UU 130/400 (never realised I had a mini chemist under my bed!!!) :rotfl:2013 UU 156/350. 2014 UU 197/250 2015 UU 16/100

    Nursing is a work of heart by angels in comfortable shoes!!! :)

    Last year I waited for sun promo and they had no parks down south for any school holidays.

    I missed the boat on daily mail again too as they all seemed to go very quick :-(

    Hopping sun will be better this yr but not holding our much hope


    Oh dear I was banking on School hols down south too :( there was one that looked okay on daily mail site (Park Resorts Calafornia cliffs) but I thought I would hold out for the Sun and hopefully get a park we really want, Reckon I might live to regret that decision. I got onto the Daily mail site pretty quick once it had opened and there was no Haven or Butlins in the school hols in the south a tall but I guess thats because the likes of Haven and Butlins don't need to sell peak time holidays in this way? Has anyone else ever managed to get Haven or Butlins in school hols? In particular May half term? Through the Sun/Daily Mail promotions.

    Hi we went to primrose valley last year in July. It was great, the only thing was we had to queue to get in to the night time entertainment and if you hadn't arrived by 6 you didn't get a table. I've never had that issue with any of the other havens we've been - marton mere, hafan-y mor but apart from that it was fantastic (loads to do for a 2 year old too).

    Cayton bay we went the year before. It was great for an 18 month old but not as much going on as the haven sites but a lovely pub across the road if you wanted a change.

    We stayed at Fantasy Island once, don't go there! Doubt you will beat Butlins though. I have just booked Oct 1/2 term at Butlins Skegness via the Mail offer so there is still availabilty.
