Helpful Hints & Tips

Activities

To make planning your holiday as easy as possible, activity bookings will open 12 weeks from the start of your holiday, in line with restaurant bookings.

You’ll be able to make your bookings via the My Haven Experience app or at haven.com/experience and will be able to book both free and paid for activities.

Activity bookings can also be made once you arrive on park, however due to limited capacity, we’d always recommend booking in advance to ensure you get everything you’re after!

Please note, whilst we have a lot of free activities for you to get stuck into, some of our activities do require a small additional charge to book.

Arrival day activities 

If you want to book activities for your arrival day, this can be done seven days before your arrival date. Once within the seven days, you'll be able to book activities from 1pm. Please note, you’ll also be able to book activities for your first day via theActivity Booking Point on park once you’ve checked in (subject to availability).

Activities are only available to our Holiday guests, Private Let guests who have purchased a Play Pass and our owners. Please bring your Play Pass or Privilege Card with you.

Arrival

Please see haven.com/experience 7 days before arrival for your allocated check-in time.

Arriving late: please let us know on the My Haven Experience app or haven.com/experience when you get your allocated arrival time. We will then know to expect you later.

Barbecues

Get your sizzle on in safety. Please keep barbecues away from holiday homes, verandas and the external gas bottles. They must also be elevated and please use a non-disposable barbecue. Be sure that they’re completely put out before you leave them.

Bars and restaurants

We have two venues for wining or dining: the Mash and Barrel restaurant, and our Live Lounge entertainment venue home to our Entertainment Cast, the Seaside Squad, and live acts. Both venues are inside the main complex. We have a coded lift to the Live Lounge (which is upstairs), so please ask one of our team for the code if you need this. You can pre-book a restaurant table on the My Haven app or via haven.com/experience 12 weeks before your holiday or by visiting the restaurant once on park. There will be no table bookings in entertainment venues and tables will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Beach access

The nearest beach is across the road, at the back of the park. It’s a sandy beach that stretches past Burnham-on-Sea town centre and the pier. The RNLI lifeguard Burnham-on-Sea main beach, the part of the beach near the town.

Buses

All aboard! There’s a bus stop just outside the park at the Old Pier Tavern. You can catch a bus to Burnham-on-Sea, Bridgwater, Taunton, or Weston-super-Mare.

Car parking

Our grassy areas are important to us. Please avoid parking on them and use the dedicated space next to, or near your holiday accommodation. Please also be considerate of your neighbours too. We have Blue Badge spaces in the main complex for those who need them.

Cashless arcade

Our amusement arcade is mainly cashless. You'll need to purchase a Playcard from the Playcard Kiosk or Prize Shop, top up the card and tap it on the card readers to play. Don’t forget to register your card in case you lose it! If you do lose your card, speak to a member of our friendly team in the kiosk or prize shop and they will cancel your card and will replace it with a new one with any remaining credit and awards. We have 2p and 10p coin pushers for coins and, on request, we can convert 20p, 50p and £1 coins to money on a card if you want to use other games within the arcade. Any credit and awards not used can be saved for your next visit to Burnham-on-Sea – no refunds will be given

Cash machines

We have two free-to-use cash machines in the main complex and at the Mini Market. You can get cashback at the Mini Market and any till point in our main complex (minimum spend applies).

If you have any questions or have special requests please contact our Call Centre prior to booking, where we have specially trained advisors who can help with every aspect of your booking. They can discuss the suitability of the park. If you have any questions while on the park, please ask the Reception team.

Swimming

We know that swimming is one of our most popular activities, so we have done everything we can to ensure as many of our guests get a chance to swim as possible.

For indoor swimming, you can book slots before and during your stay. From four weeks before your break start date, you'll be able to pre-book up to 14 swim slots per holiday booking. You'll also be able to book more slots once you arrive on park, should capacity allow.

Each swim slot lasts for 60 minutes and can be booked on the My Haven Experience app or at haven.com/experience. We're able to hold swim slots for up to 15 minutes, however if you fail to show after this time, the swim slot will be cancelled and given to another guest.

Takeaway

If you can’t have a takeaway on holiday, when can you? We have Cook’s Fish & Chips and Papa John’s® on our park and new for 2022 Burger King®*, just waiting for you to enjoy. Papa John’s® will also deliver directly to your accommodation if required. Whether you’re ordering for collection, delivery or to eat in, all takeaway orders can be made via My Haven app or haven.com/experience.

The park is completely flat.

Towels

Own up, who forgot to pack the towels? It’s okay, we provide towels (1 hand and 1 bath towel per person) in our Silver, Gold and Signature grade accommodation or you can hire some from Reception for a small charge and deposit.

Upgrades

You will need to arrange any upgrade prior to receiving your arrival time. Please contact the park and they will be happy to discuss upgrade options with you.

Visitors

To maximise the opportunity for guests to access the swimming pools, activities, entertainment venue and restaurants included in their holiday package, all holidaymakers visiting our parks must be included on a valid holiday booking. Unfortunately, we don’t have the capacity on our parks to allow our guests to bring visitors to our parks.

Due to the remoteness of our holiday parks the WiFi signal can vary. We do have free guest WiFi available in our main complex. Unfortunately, we do not have WiFi in our accommodation. Our apps work on Wifi and 4G, and if you do not have any signal, you can always book your activities with our Activity and Leisure team at the Activity Booking Point.
