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.

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 visit the My Haven Experience App or haven.com/experience 7 days before arrival for your allocated check-in time. Please do not arrive before your allocated check-in time. If you arrive outside of your designated time, we may kindly ask for you to wait until a member of team becomes available to assist.

Arriving late: please let us know on the My Haven Experience App or via 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. 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 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 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.

Cash machines

We have two free-to-use cash machines in the main complex and at the Mini Market. 

Checking out

Don’t go just yet! But if you must, please remember to check out by 10am. You can drop your keys at the Security barrier or at Reception. There’s a letterbox at Reception for this. Please drop off any hired goods you need to return to Reception.

Electric vehicle (EV) charging points

Emergencies

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.

Lost property

If you’ve mislaid a pair of swimming trunks, or Ted the Bear has gone missing, pop into Reception and we’ll see if someone has handed them in for you. We keep all lost property for 14 days, so you have plenty of time to check.

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

Security barrier

Our security barrier is coded between 10pm and 8am. Just ask at Reception if you think you’ll need the code during your holiday.

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 - some areas of our park are more suitable for wheelchairs. 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. 

There's no booking required to use our outdoor pools which will be open from May half term until the end of August Bank Holiday. If the weather allows, simply turn up when you fancy an outdoor swim. 

Takeaway

If you can’t have a takeaway on holiday, when can you? We have Cook’s Fish & Chips, Papa John’s® and Burger King®* on our park, 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 Experience app or haven.com/experience. 

Terrain of the park

The park is completely flat.

Towels

Upgrades

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 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.
