Massive site with lots to do if you've got young kids. Toilets were ok for the touring area and for the price we paid well worth the money. Our kids just loved it. It was a September weekend and it was nice weather and the we were in the outdoor heated pool at 10am on Saturday morning. It was so unbelievable but brill. The usual haven stuff at the complex but dear as you would expect. Would go again because pitch prices are very cheap which outweighs bad comments from others.

Thought I would never return to this site but as my daughter wanted to come I gave in. But I was pleasantly surprised. There seamed to be an effort to try and improve the touring area. There was a warden in attendance doing the usual litter pick and just making his presents known. (In a nice reassuring way). There were efforts made to keep the toilets clean. No spotless but certainly a lot cleaner that the last time.
The park is in a nice setting and the pony rides are the big attraction for my daughter. Apart from that been to one haven and you been to them all. The only thing that changes is the location.
I think with some effort this could be a good touring park. The main trouble with the toilets is they are old and grubby so no matter how much cleaning they will never look good. Go on Haven splash the cash and give the toilets a refurbish and your half way there. Then build a small play area a few swings, slid etc. In the middle of the touring pitch and you would be onto a winner. You could even charge normal prices instead of enticing people with cheap deals.

Unit: Motorhome
Really awful. We completed a trek in Scotland over to the outer hebrides here and wished we had gone home!
The site is dirty, full of unemptied bins and not good at all. I took my 6 year old to the toilet and it was disgusting and this was at 4pm, we washed our hands in the motorhome and did not use any more facilities.
The boys wanted to swim but no chance for an overnight stay as you have to book a slot very well in advance as with all of the activities. The only thing we managed to get on was a 4 seater bike which took an hours wait and this was only because we were lucky as it had been raining!
We ordered a bottle of simple white wine but it was sold out so was our second choice and so were the boys drinks.
It was an early night and a quick get away.

Unit: Static
We stayed in one of their own static caravans, which was clean and bearably comfortable. The touring pitch area looked lovely, with nice woodland and trees planted throughout the area. Some of the facilities were excellent and some really poor
Good first =
Brilliant cafe situated at the golf course
Pool was really warm, ideal for a young children
Ponies and Horses were fantastic
There was loads of wildlife around the pond and if wanted kids were allowed to go pond dipping
Majority of staff were helpful and friendly
Bad =
Pool was only available for use for 45 mins either in the morning or afternoon (because demand out weighed availability) Staff were cleaning as people were trying to get dressed (ie pouring chemicals on the floor) and the slides were only open for part of the swim session!
The restaurants and outside terrace were filthy
You had to traverse an arcade games forest to get to any of the facilities, including the play park
Play park only had 2 toddler swings and 2 adult swings and a mini chute and a huge climbing frame
On the whole wouldn't go back, but still had a nice holiday. If you have time take a trip to Alnwick castle gardens, absolutely brilliant for old and young ( but, remember to take a change of clothes) Also the 12 guage railway from Heatherslaw was a good day out and I would thoroughly recommend the lavender tea rooms at the next stop

Unit: Trailer Tent
Booked for great price, Friday to Mon £48. Great touring pitch in the wood area, plenty space for grandson to run about, toilets clean. Haven site lots to do , but lots of money too. Daughter said kids entertainment was good. Our pitch was the route for the ponies and horse rides.
If you like to have a bit of peace and quite on a haven site I would ask for the wooded area, we were pitch 100, hard standing with elec.
Good beach 5 mins away in Scremerston. Chippy good, shop supplies good. And best of all we had brill weather.

We've just returned from a 5 day holiday at this site. The caravans do seem close together at first glance but we had our awning up, then an enclosure of windbreaks and there was still room for people to walk past easily.
The toilets were cleaned twice a day but in between do tend to get really muddy and grubby just because of the number of people using them.
Yes the site is designed to get as much money as possible out of you but what do you expect when you go somewhere like haven? The kids did enjoy the entertainment provided and if you send them to the kids club during the day you need never see them. They also enjoyed the horse riding, climbing walls etc. We also went out on a couple of day trips including a boat trip to the farne islands which was great. The sight of all the seals basking on the rocks was fantastic.
One thing I was impressed with in the entertainment complex was the kids drinks. On the first evening we bought ours a yard of coke each. Refills were only £1.99 (good when you see the size of the containers) but we filled them up before we went to the club each night and the security guards were quite happy to let the kids in carrying the already filled containers.
The only downsides we found was that we did have to be in the club by 5.30 if we wanted a seat for the show and when we came to pack up we couldn't get our electrical cable unplugged, it turned out some joker had decided to glue it into the socket. The camp were great and sent electricians over to sort it out with the assurance they would dismantle the power unit if necessary. With a bit of brute force they did manage to free it. Obviously there was nothing the site could have done to prevent that but they were good at sorting it out for us.
We wouldn't use this site for regular breaks as it does work out expensive, but as a once a year treat for the kids it's great and we will return
