This was not my 1st visit to this haven site but was the first time staying in the touring area,
We arrived on a very windy Friday afternoon and pulled into the touring section which is located to the entrance of the park. Checking in I was met by the park warden a very nice man who gave me my welcome pack and showed me to our pitch.
The site is very well set out and all the pitches are super hard standing so you have water and drainage to your hardstanding pitch. Also we found a very nice touch is your own car parking space in front of your van on the road which help make the pitch more private.
The toilets here are amazing I think they are the best I have visited by far. The staff were all friendly and I am already book 2 more visits here this year
Highly recommended and a must with young children.
We stayed for 6 night’s over the Easter holidays and enjoyed it all, even though most days it was very misty. We paid £126 for our stay which was a bargain for Easter.
On arrival we spoke to the touring warden, a very nice man and very helpful. He offered us a choice of pitches, we chose number 5 reasons were very large hard standing and grassed area big enough to accommodate our 28ft van and awning and an empty pitch next to it for our friend’s who we arriving later. Fully serviced pitch with water, electric and drain. I did like the idea of having your own parking space at the front of your pitch. Shower block immaculate and under floor heating in the family bathroom. We only went into the club one night but had a great time doing a quiz and the entertainment was great. Drinks the usual Haven prices, pizza from Pappa John’s was very good. With starbucks a burger king a chip shop and pizza shop plenty of choice if you want to eat out or grab a cofee. The shop was well stocked if a little over priced. Kid’s loved the pools and used them every day as well as the all weather sports court. Kid’s and adult’s loved the lazer blast they got a great discount as there were 8 of them. Will return later in the year.
We booked this site the night before we arrived after a last minute decision to change from our original site. It was £97.00 for 6 nights on a fully serviced pitch which we thought was great seeing as we had been quoted double that price for other sites in the area.
When we arrived the touring reception was closed - I rang the number on the door and a girl answered but got cut off - the third time of trying I was getting annoyed and then the security guard turned up and communicated over his radio and saw us to our pitch. It was a good pitch although the last 2 days of the holiday we got an awful smell coming up through our sinks which must have been because of the heavy rain.
The site is massive and it was a 10minute walk to the main complex (a fast walk) then I would say another 20minutes down to the beach then about another 30-45 to get to Filey - the beach is fantastic, long, wide and clean and the dogs loved it and it was a tiring but a great walk to Filey and back on our first day. We are not very fit!
The entertainment complex is full of arcade machines, we don't have kids and spent enough so goodness knows how much families end spending - all I could see the whole week was kids asking for more money! there is a burger king,pizza place and fish and chips which were good but would have liked to see a few more healthy options. Judging by the queues at each of the outlets though I cant see them changing the menu! the tap and barrel offers more home cooked style meals but again not a healthy option of anything in sight.
The Show Bar was really enjoyable on an evening, we played bingo and took part in the quiz every night and there was a good live band. There were live acts every night, some better than others.
Really well stocked shop, site was clean and the starbucks was nice to spend an hour reading the papers and its wireless as well if you want to take your laptop.
A site like this is never something we had considered before and its the first time we have had this type of holiday. Our touring holiday to france fell through due to our dog sitter letting us down so we wanted somewhere with plenty to do if we wanted it and just to chill out and have a laugh for a few days and it certainly ticked all the boxes. Its what you make of it and we had a great time. I like to try different places with having a touring caravan and this site has certainly now given us the confidence to try another Haven site in a different area.
This wasn't our first visit and won't be our last. General standard of the touring area is high. Toilet and shower blocks are generally of a good standard. The whole site (touring and static) is pretty good and as Haven sites go, this ranks as one of the best. Pitch sizes are adequate with own water and waste supplied. Never tripped the electric so seems to be one of the better rated supplies). Warden friendly and helpful.
The standard of entertainment is good (as it should be). Overall site cleanliness, including facilities (pools, road, etc) is good except the Burger King. Every time we have been there its filthy and very poorly looked after. Am guessing that the franchise is run by non-Haven staff, however they really could do much better.
You get the usual things that you would expect from a Haven site, however, most of the facilities over the whole site do not get overcrowded (ie. Number of facilities to guests ratio is about right) with the exception of the bars at night which can get a little too overcrowded for me. Facilities include tennis courts, funfair, crazy golf, laser combat, fishing and boating lake, amusement arcades, showbars, 2 swimming pools (1 is more of a fun pool than the other), all weather sports court, playgrounds, grassed areas, plenty of walks, etc.
The walk to the beach takes around 15 minutes, with about another 30 across the front to reach Filey. Not the best of trips if you have younger children (most pathways are fine with a concrete slope for a few hundred feet down to the beach), but should be fine for most.
The addition of Laser Combat was great for the kids. Couldn't drag them away from it. Appeared to be managed by an outside company who were concerned about the weather affecting their business so hinted that they might have to close it. Shame if it does as it provided many hours of entertainment for the kids (aah, peace and quiet time for mum and dad!).
On site shop reasonably well stocked (especially with overpriced novelty items) but a bit pricey. We avoided the eating areas as these have always been poor in the past, but this may well have improved this year.
Lighting around the site could be better. Overall a good site and a good standard which has plenty to do for kids of all ages. Next year already booked!
Have just returned from a weeks stay at Primrose. Arrived in pouring rain to find the check in for tourers was closed. Allocated pitch over the phone from reception.
Pitch was a good size with allocated space on road for car. Due to the terrible weather we have had where we were due to put the awning was just a big pool of mud. We decided not to bother erecting it.
I found the shower complex for the ladies OK. Site was full but did not have to wait for a shower. Same could not be said for family bathroon. This was absolutely disgusting. There were lots of flies and dead creepy crawlies in it. I would not have bathed my dog in it let alone my 2 youngest. I therefore had to bathe them in the van.
The touring site is situated immediately as you go onto the site so it is quite a walk to the main complex. There are now only 2 clubs on site. We only went out twice but on both occasions were unable to get a seat in the family bar and it was only 6.45pm. The swimming pools were good and both were clean. Usual expensive holiday prices for food, drink not too bad you could get a 4 pint pitcher of lager for just over a tenner. I probably would not return to Primrose. We paid £400 for a week which I think for the standard of the facilities on site was expensive and exploring the area saw other sites which looked nicer.
We have just got back home after a week at primrose valley. We were a little hesitant with it being a haven site but after reviews on here we took the plunge and was not one bit dissapointed. The site is fantastic, the touring pitches were well maintained, all being super pitches and plenty of room in between each other. Toilets and showers were spotless (and I am fussy) there was a indoor swimming pool and outdoor pool just around from tourer section along with some rides, crazy golf and go karts so did not feel like this site was only interested in statics. We went up to the main complex and again was spotless. There was another indoor pool more catered to children as had fun water features. The entertainment was first class, we don't usaully do club houses but this was excellent. The time we went was good because was not too busy. Although the tourer section was fully booked, there was no noisy behaviour. I can imagine that it gets very busy during the summer holidays especially club houses ect. But anyone considering going, but concerned because its haven, I would say GO FOR IT and you will see how all haven sites should be. The security is very good, has a barrier entrance and patrols during the day and there is a 24 hour number if there is any problems.
I was pleasantly surprised with this site, not looking forward to going as the site is so big, however we were only stoppiing one night. Absolutely brilliant site - toilets excellent, showers a bit of a nuisance having to keep pressing for the water, but overall well impressed. Screened by mature trees from the rest of the camp and despite being by the road hardly noticed road noise. Well laid out each one has own pitch and parking space. Well done Haven excellent site.
I have just read some of the other reviews and obviously we picked a bad week to go LOL.
There are only 4 toilet cubicles on the gents side, 2 of them had no locks on. I reported it to a totaly un-interested member of the staff at the main site. The site was full so most people were using 2 toilets. I mentioned it to the chap doing the cleaning too and it sounded like it had been that way for a while. Nothing was done about it during our stay.
Generally the place is of a good standard, plenty to do although the site is so big if you have younger kids you are going to have to take them everywhere as it is so easy to get lost! Not that we send our kids off on their own all the time but at some smaller sites you can keep an eye on them playing at the park from the pitch.
You get leisure passes which are only going to cover swimming; other activities apart from kids clubs and evening entertainment have to be paid for.
The beach is a good hike away and the touring pitches are about as far away as you can get from the sea so once again not ideal for little ones. Best to drive to Bridlington, it will be quicker.
We had to wait an hour to get on a pitch too, although as ours wasn’t vacated there were others being allowed on who arrived after us.
Just spent 5 nights at this site, there was 3 tourers in our group with 6 Adults and 5 Children, weather was ok. The site is very clean and the toliets and showers where spotless.
Entertainment was very good the childrens entertainer was called Chris which we heard last time at Presthaven sands and out of all the kids entertainers I would say he is the best.
But back to the site, the swimming pool the kids loved and the racing model cars. There is a Chinese on the site which is not Haven so the prices are ok. The shop on site is well stocked but we found a Spar which is just outside the site at the garage. This is a 5 star site and it shows it. I would go again to this site and the price was not to bad as it cost £34 for the 5 nights.
Just got back after spending the May Day weekend at this great site. If there were just the two of us, it wouldn't have been our choice of site, but we took 3 teenagers and they loved it. There was so much for them to do - a funfair with dodgems, waltzers, crazy golf, go karting, abseiling, peddle boats & so much more. They do charge for these activities but they aren't overpriced.
We found the warden to be friendly and helpful, the toilets clean and warm - we never had to queue.
Only two negative issues:
First, they could do with a bit more lighting at night. Round by the go kart area, which you have to pass to get to the touring site, it is very poorly lit.
Second, we didn't like the idea of the car being parked in front of the caravan, on the road, we would much prefer to park it down the side, out of the way. There were lots of children, some very young (almost too young to be out alone) and they were riding bikes between the cars and caravans and one child colided with our caravan. She wasn't hurt, there was no damage to the caravan, but if she had fallen the other way, she would have hit the car and caused some damage. I don't think this would have happened if the cars were parked down the side of the caravans.
All in all, we would recommend this site. Having paid just over £60.00 for 4 nights for up to 6 people on a superior pitch, with awning, ehu, entertainment passes, 2 cars & 1 dog (£3.00 per night for the dog) we think it was very good value.
