- Join us as we spend a weekend at Burnham-On-Sea Haven in North Somerset, England.
We give you a full park tour, let you know what it is like give you our honest review. Hopefully letting you decide if it is a place you want to book for your break away.
We visited in mid March 23. It was off peak season so we unsure what to expect.
We had booked a saver caravan, and it cost £129 for the weekend, so very affordable. We were expecting a very basic 2 berth caravan but were surprised to have been allocated a really tidy & clean 3 berth one.
Note that basic packages do not include toiletries or towels, so if you want to book a similar holiday, please ensure you bring your own.
Overall, we were pleased with the caravan & for the price you could not fault it. Only negative being that it was situated away from the parking and road.
As with other Haven sites, you do get the option of selecting a caravan in the location of your choice. We did not do this, as we were looking to make it as cheap as possible, and it turned out that we were only a 3-minute walk from the complex and the rain held off during our stay, so it was not an issue.
The resort is large. And if you are located at the far side of the park, we believe it would be nearly a 5-8-minute walk to the complex.
There are numerous play areas & lakes scattered throughout. Making it an ideal fishing getaway.
There is a shop onsite, selling all your basics, i.e. bread, milk, alcohol etc. along with a good selection of souvenirs.
Food wise you have Mash and Barrel (Bar and restaurant), Papa Johns (Pizza), Burger King (Burgers) and a Captain Cod (Fish & Chip takeaway). So, no matter what you fancy to eat, they do have it covered.
As you enter the complex, you can either, go to one of the arcades, of which there are two, one on either side of the entrance lobby or walk straight through to the Mash & Barrel or up to the Live Lounge, their main entertainment venue. We found this layout to be better than the one at Devon Cliffs, as arcades could be avoided if you wanted = better for the wallet.
The arcades at this resort are cashless and ticketless! You get yourself a card, top it up with cash and all tickets you win get placed straight back onto it. We did find this to be a lot better than using cash and tickets, but we not too keen on letting the kids ruin around with what was basically a credit card for games.
We found the food in the Mash and Barrel here to be good. Good variety, tasty and value for money. And we ended up eating there twice on our stay, which we would never normally do.
The Live Lounge we estimate to have a capacity of approx. 700 - 800. Even during our stay this was busy, so how this will cope during peak season, we are unsure. We imagine there would be a lot of queuing.
Entertainment there as in all Haven sites is good. The Seaside Squad entertain the young ones and Bingo is on to entertain the older generation. Along with good in-house singers and comedians.
There are various activities to do here, prices range from free to approx. £20. This site also has:- Indoor pool - 1hr Sessions that need to be booked in advance. We found it to be very warm but there is only one slide.
Outdoor pool - Not open during our visit but does look a decent size.
Outdoor activities - Trampolines, Climbing, the Big Jump etc. Again, like the pool, only available in the warmer months.
Indoor activities - Build a bear, Archery, Slime making, Face painting etc.
In addition to these you do have Seaside Squad entertainment throughout the day catering for the younger ones, so even if it is raining, there is stuff to do.
If you fancy wandering off site you will find that you are literally a 5-10 minute walk from Burnham on Sea itself. It has a large sandy beach, although swimming is not recommended, pier, pubs and a few shops.
Weston Super Mare, Cheddar Gorge & Wookey Hole are all within a 30 minute drive.
10-minute drive away and you will find Brean. There you will find a water & amusement parks with great rides. Unfortunately, this was opening for the new season the week after we were there. Typical Hadwin timing….
Overall, we did really enjoy this break. Proving that even with minimum budget you can still get away & have fun.
Would we go back there again? We all decided that we would go back to this Haven holiday park, but would look to book it in the warmer months.

Wow ang ganda Dito
We stayed there last summer, we had a great holiday.
Hi, yeah it really is a great little park. We have recommended to a few people now and will be going back...
We’ve just booked a last minute trip here for Easter , we had camping booked but they cancelled it due to the rain. :( but we love haven so 🤞 we have an amazing time.
Hi, shame your camping has been cancelled. But we think you will enjoy yourself here. 👍
@@TheHadwinsTVI am a first time subscriber and I really enjoyed watching this video I have been to berwick haven and haggerston castle haven holiday park I enjoyed them both thank you for uploading this video is brilliant
My mum owns 2 caravans there we went down in March for 10 days and bk again may 1st for 5 days they are doing alot of work on site hence the lots of mud they are putting 30 new caravans where the laundrette is and when the season closes they are doing a out door bar and stage and candy shop qnd upgrading the parks they were due to complete the work this year but are now going to do it ready for next year so next year would be amazing even better ❤
That sounds great! We really enjoyed it. we will probably be back next year 😊
Ever since my dad booked this holiday I watched this video at least once a day because im so excited it feels like each day lasts forever. Ive still got 2 weeks till i go and ( although I love these videos) it does not help with the excitement. 😅
Hi, sure you will love it there, it is a really nice park.
We are actually off to the Haven at Weymouth in a week or so, so we will be doing a video and will let you know if it was as good👍
@@TheHadwinsTV I went with my family last year and it was amazing. I'm sure you will love and although I've already been there I'll be sure to watch it about 300 times like I have with this one lol 😅
loved it made me feel like i was there might ask mam and dad if we can book it there
Hi, I'm so glad you liked our video. This place is absolutely amazing.
adding onto my comment - not the nightlife for kids with sensitive hearing - 1 minute in - the 15 yr old left - 3 minutes Even I agreed with my 7 yr old = too loud. And I mean loud. Myself - its bang on close for local stuff
Hi again and yes agree. This place is pretty full on.
We have been to places that are very tranquil down in Cornwall. so you may want to take a look down there?
@@TheHadwinsTV oh yes - I've been to plenty in Cornwall. Stayed at a wonderful caravan site at Lands End = Done the Haven and Parkdean. ( Gorgeous !! ). I try not to stay at the same park each year - - BUT - - I will say 4 times at Doniford Bay over the past 6 yrs Vans have been great ( apart from not having coat hooks by the main door - - really needed on rainy days ). The location is great for travel to other places.
Im staying there for a 3 day weekend. Only booked it due to Last minute - Joys of having a weekend off from retail !! I may live next to the cotswolds - But they were nearly quadruple the price and no beach nearby !!
❤
Hi do they have cashpoints on site? excellent review we are going in March too
Hi, unfortuntaley we cannot remember - due to the machines in the arcade all being cashless, we had no need to actually look? Sorry we cant be anymore helpful...
There is one in the mini market, I don’t think it charges either.
Just heading here in the car now😃
Enjoy 😉
No no no
I miss haven
😊
@@linkinparklovaa09 I fucking hated it
It's cheaper to have 4 nights march 2024 4 nights £49
Hi Paul, 👍Thanks for the heads up, we will keep that in mind for next year.
Looking at this caravan for same price in sep. Is the park nice and pleasant?
Hi, yes, we found Burnham on Sea to actually be the best Haven we have stated at so far. Not too big and in your face like some of the others..hope you enjoy👍
I am. Going. Hear. On. The. 15. June. On. Saturday next. Week. But. You. Are. Not. Go. To. Wounding. It. But. I. Have. Never. Saw. The. New Carteus. But. I. Go. Ever. Year. But. I. Love. It. And. I. Have. Never. Been. To. Devin. Clifft
is it really 10-15 mins walk to the beach? I was told it is very close to the beach 🤔
Hi, yes you are correct. I think from the park entrance it is probably about 5 mins. From where we were in the park, walking with our two kids it was lot longer..well felt like it...
Make the kids walk fucking faster next time buckaroo
From the front entrance it’s probably a 10-15 minute walk but if you go out of the big brown gates (by Avalon Way caravans) then you’re on the seafront, you literally just cross the road and you’re on the beach.
So we'll do the needful and send it to u tomorrow night as 🎉well if you are notified of my claim please contact the court order and let us immediately skh"dadymumuy the matter and get back from the court of action in order for me today but I will
?

Just came back from devon cliffs mash n barrel was terrible so was papa johns a pure grease fest were thinking of going here but wont support the cashless lark so on to another me mum owns at hafan y mor thats a great site
