There's still hols via the main Haven site for cheaper via standard ongoing promotional links for the standard 4 people offer....

Has anybody stayed in a Haven Caravan: Saver ?  The Haven comfort caravans I've got from them on Sun Holiday deals have been old but acceptable (unless we got a free upgrade), I assume these are the same ?

We have done Hendra in Cornwall for years in July with the extras added it normally costs us about £250 for budget or £350 if  we upgrade  some years an extra person so a bit extra. They are not doing July this year and to go in may with new prices and extras budget would cost us about £850 just booked direct with a discount code i was sent by Hendra for July in upgrade 2 levels higher than the budget £950. Yes it's a lot more than we normally pay but £950 luxury caravan in July compared to sun Budget caravan in may £850. Definitely check direct bucking and look for money off offers for booking with the sun.

Yes - me. It's just another name for their budget accommodation (older, smaller or more basic). The grading naming convention has always been inconsistent between individual parks & newspapers. Generally, the newspaper hols were the budget vans unless you paid for an upgrade (or you got a lucky free upgrade).

How do you know that Hendra are not doing July this year ?   The park is a Band B site in the Sun £9.50 hols new pricing structure and they have start dates up to the 22nd July listed on page 5 of Saturdays newspaper pull-out.

Hi all, thanks for sharing the new pricing structure and the supplement pages. It looks to me that the Brittany Ferries crossings are no longer discounted? The link available here https://club950.co.uk/how-it-works/ferries redirects to the standard homepage.

The ferry deals are still there, under the ‘how it works’ section. The new site is not particularly easy to navigate on a phone, but if you click on ‘start dates’ it brings up an additional menu and ferries are under there. Much easier on a computer but I expect most will be viewing on their phones.

Do they still send out their red coloured letters? If they do, when did you get yours?

They no longer send the site brochure through the post.
All they sent was a “ Sun Holidays starting soon “leaflet with the bonus codeword/ Sunsaver code

Thanks again Essex Boy for setting this up once more. Hope we all can avoid any disruptions and get a holiday to enjoy.

If you have booked direct with Haven for a 2022 holiday it's worth checking that the price for the same holiday hasn't dropped since you booked.   I booked Haven Blue Dolphin in April on Sunday for £111, but the price has now dropped to £92.50.  So Haven have refunded the £18.50 difference under their Price Promise Guarantee after I contacted them using live chat.
