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. Swimming can be booked 4 weeks an advance. 

 

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.

 

Ants

During warm periods the appearance of ants is common. Advice from the Local Environmental Health Officer confirms that they do appear for no apparent reason and do not reflect any lack of hygiene.  They can only be attributed to a force of nature, but we apologise for any distress or inconvenience this situation may cause you. For safety reasons all holiday homes have vents, hence there will always be access points for such insects. To discourage their presence please do not leave food exposed, particularly in the kitchen. We do have ant spray on Park should you wish the team to apply this around the vents in your holiday home, please visit Reception

 

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 the Activity 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 Owner Card with you. 

 

Arrival

Please see the My Haven Experience App or 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. 

 

Arcade

The bright lights and excitement of our arcade awaits for all guests to enjoy. Our machines take cash so pick out all the loose change from behind the sofa before coming! Don’t worry if you don’t have spare pennies, we have machines to change money for you, so you’ll soon be playing.

 

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. Be sure that they’re completely put out before you leave them.

 

Bars and restaurants

We have three venues for wining or dining: Our Mash and Barrel restaurant for food and The Tower Bar and the ShowBar entertainment venue, home to our Entertainment Cast, the Seaside Squad, and live acts. All venues are inside the main complex.

 

You can pre-book a restaurant table on the My Haven Experience 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 four miles from here, at Goswick Sands. There are also beaches at Spittal and Bamburgh for you to enjoy.

 

Buses

There are bus stops on the A1, outside the park, and you can catch the X15 and X18 buses to Newcastle and Berwick-upon-Tweed. If you need any information on local bus routes, please see the Reception team.

 

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 also have Blue Badge spaces in the main complex for those who need them.

 

Cash machines

Our cash machine is inside the main complex in the Mini Market and in the upper arcade, and they’re free to use. 

 

Checking out

Don’t go just yet! But if you have to, please remember check out is by 10am. Please leave it in our designated key box at the exit gate on the way out. Please also remember to return any hire goods to Reception. Once our team have confirmed the return of the hired goods, we will refund the deposit back onto the card that the payment was made from.

 

Child safety

We can’t give you eyes in the back of your head, but we can give you a brightly coloured wristband for little ones in case they wander off. Come and see us at Pool Reception and we’ll add your contact details to it.

 

Dogs

We’re fond of dogs on park and most breeds are welcome, just keep them on a lead at all times. They are welcome on the decking area of the Mash and Barrel and we also have a dog walking area, and guide and service dogs are welcome inside our venues. The beaches in the local area are great for dogs too. We have bins around the park for cleaning up after your pet.

 

Driving

We’re strict about speed on park. Please stick to 10mph when you’re driving around.

 

Electric vehicle (EV) charging points 

We have electric charging points available

If you have an emergency, please call 999 and then our Reception and Security teams. This way we can direct them straight to you and come to your aid while you wait.

Play Passes

If you're on a Haven holiday break, Play Passes give you access to book all the good stuff, like activities, swimming pools and entertainment venues. Play Passes are not included in Haven Hideaway breaks.

 

Post

We know how important a postcard to Nan and Grandad is when you’re on holiday, so drop in any pre-stamped post to us at Reception, and we’ll make sure it gets off for you.

 

Remote controls

No luck finding the TV remote? You can operate it from the set itself. We may even have another one at Reception so it’s worth asking just in case.

 

Special requirements and accessibility

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 a Burger King®, Cook’s Fish and Chips and Papa John’s® on our park, just waiting for you to enjoy. They 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 Experience app or haven.com/experience

 

Terrain of the park

The park is mostly flat with a small incline at the Golf Village. 

 

Tide Times

Surf’s up dude! Stay safe and tide alert with up-to-date tidal at the beach access point behind the main complex. Or search for the ‘My Tide Times’ app to get live, local updates.

 

Tourist Information

If you want to explore the area, find a cracking local restaurant, or discover a nearby hidden gem, our Reception team can offer tips, advice, and recommendations. We have loads of tourist leaflets in Reception too.

 

Towels

We provide towels (2 hand towels per caravan and 1 bath towel per person) in our Gold and Signature grade accommodation.

 

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.

 

WiFi

Due to the remoteness of our holiday parks the WiFi signal can vary. We do have free guest WiFi available in the Mash and Barrel restaurant. Unfortunately, there is no WiFi in our accommodation. The My Haven app works on Wifi and 4G, however if you do not have any signal, you can always book your activities with our Activity and Leisure team at the Activity Booking Point.
