Good Points: Great for Kids, Great Beech, Food what you expect so no probs, staff very helpfull and friendly. Tesco just down the road
Bad Points: we went not in peak season, dread to think what it would be like in school holidays, bars take ages to get a drink - go for the pitcher as soon as you get in there and ladies get a bottle of wine! saves the queing later.
General comments: went for a weeks family holiday 6th June, this is our 3rd Haven site, and can't fault the kids entertainment, it's brill, we have to children aged 4 and 2 and they love it. Only trouble is you need to be in the show bar by about 5 to ensure you get a good table at the front to watch the kids on the dance floor so you don't panic you can't see them all night. Ladies don't bother packing your heels, as a few slopes to go up and down, not good when carrying the little ones back after the shows! we were in juniper close and was lovely and clean, the caravan was perfect, had a faulty telly but they came and changed it over no problem. We had a nice view of the sea and caravan was well equiped. Heating was fine, just set it to come on for a couple of hours in morning and evening to take the chill off. We would go again, and will be doing anoter Haven holiday next year, just don't know where yet.

Just returned This weekend from a great, long weekend at DC courtesy of Sun Holidays.
Check in was quick and easy, Receptionists were helpful, Caravan was nice, but why oh why dont they provide a toaster and microwave as standard?
For the time of year, waking up in the morning was freezing! and a quick dash to the fire was in order. Maybe the vans are not insulated or double glazed? Our van was placed on a terraced area,though not a problem for active families it would prove difficult to those ...

Just got back from a weeks holiday in Devon Cliffs and had a fantastic week. Initially worried when I read the reviews...but I can say the site is fine.

I love this park at Devon Cliffs with Haven Holidays, I went two years ago and am going back this year. It is good fun and if you get passes swimming is a great bargain. Remember to take your basketball/football, the all weather sports courts are good fun! Make sure you like this type of holiday before you book, mostly for families with kids.

Overall holiday was good, used Devon Cliffs site as a base rather than using the facilities on site. Went to a few places around the area, and found them to be brilliant.
personally i wouldnt go to this particular park again, but cannot fault the Haven experience, as i have been to the Haven in north wales and find it a much better park.
Was upgraded to gold and found it a really good caravan to be in, everything was there.

I had never been to a haven site before. the site is huge and clean. On arrival eventually found reception where staff were professional and helpful. We hired our caravan privately and were not disappointed with nice sea views and immaculate interior, equipped with everything necessary. Our holiday was in may and weather was terribly windy/rainy for first few days and needed heating on. We had gas fire in lounge and (thank goodness) electric heaters in hallway, main bedroom and bathroom.We need ...

I read some of the comments and went to Devon Cliffs last week (11 May) with some trepidation...... but to my amazement it was lovely. We are a young couple with no children and had a great time. The caravan (a superior plus) was located on "The Terrace" it was well equipped and had wonderful sea views. It is a huge park but it was still quiet, admittedly it may be due to the time of year. I cant comment on the onsite entertainment/bars as we didnt use them but the pools looked lovely and ...

At Devon Cliffs, Haven Holidays, everything is what you would expect really. there were two places to eat and there were also fast food places inside the centre. there were lots of daytime activities for young and older aged people. the evening entertainment was average; bingo, singalongs for kids .. the service was good inside the centre.

AT Haven Holidays, Devon Cliffs the swimming pools indoor and outdoor are fantastic with loads of activities to do. entertainment and kids clubs are really good. I started going to devon when i was 8 and have been every year for the last 20 years now were proud owners of a 8 birth modern caravan with all the owners benefits. If anyone is thinking of going to devon and is put off by the expense etc than a few handy suggestions there is a 24hr tesco 5 mins from site and just up from tesco is a in ...

Been using Devon Cliffs for the last 10 years and love the site. We have had times when we have not been happy with something or another, but when you approach the Haven staff they always help to sort out what problems we had in a 100% professional manor.

Just returned from our first visit to Devon Cliffs. It was a late season break so we we did not expect good weather. On booking in we were placed in a caravan dirty and smelly and certainly not to the top standard we had paid for. Complained and were placed in a private good standard van. Staff were rude and kept us waiting with my 9 month old grandaughter for over 45 minutes before relocation.Third day my daughter had her purse stolen in the amusement arcade with £170 and a £300 + m ...

Fantastic entertainment every night. Prices of drinks weren't so bad £10 for a 4 pint pitcher. Good caravan friendly staff. Maybe the weather but that cant be help seen as its October. Devon Cliffs is a really good site lovely surroundings perfect for a get away. Very well sign posted not fair from major places like Exeter and Torquay

On arriving, I accidentally paid for 2 weeks passes as I did not intend to use the facilities for the second week. Despite this, reception would not give me a refund until the end of the 1st week. However, they refused to give me a refund until I kicked up a massive stink in front of new arrivals eventually leading to me receiving it.
2 The site has now got far too big with too many caravans I feel.
3 Drinks were expensive for me
4 Both halls had no air conditioning or if they did, they did not ...

If you have kids and you want a cheap holiday either do not go - or - go with the understanding that you will have to be tough and say 'no' to your kids about 100 times a day! (though of course - if you just use it as a 'cheap base' and plan ahead - not to be in the 'lose all of your dosh centre' and to really explore Devon - it could work out as a good holiday)
If you can't be bothered to exlpore beautiful Devon and really unique little villages and shops, then go to Haven as bourne leisure wi ...

My family and myself have just come back from a week at Devon cliffs and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The caravan was absolutely lovely. The entertainment was brilliant especially the funstars shows. The funstars are fantastic I had great fun learning the boogie with the funstars dances. Would definitely recommend this holiday park to anyone that asked for a fun place to go.

Although I had been to this site approximately 30 years ago and had enjoyed it very much, I must say that I was quite disappointed with it now. I had been advised to try a different site but as Devon Cliffs had apparently had a lot of money invested in it, I thought I would give it a try. It would benefit extremely from cleaner changing areas surrounding the indoor pool (this wouldn't cost any extra), better lighting and improved showering blocks in the overflow field.

I went to this site when I was a child and had great great times there and wanted to share with my children, and as summer holidays been a wash out we booked on Fri to go the follow Tues (big big mistake) never again. We got great deal to go there but the amount of money we spent we could of had holiday in Spain again. It says that Devon Cliffs has had all kinds of money spent on it!! Looks like just spent money on more caravans to get more people into cattle market they call pools, Bugsy, Capo ...

We have just returned from camping here in the tent overflow field. I never met one person who enjoyed this experience while we were there. It seems Haven cater for the caravaners but not the tenters! Its a field at the top of the site with portaloos which are constantly dirty and smelly. I've never been to the music festivals but this is how I think they live. No cars on the field, which I can understand because of the kids etc but its a long way to carry your stuff and one hell of a walk to th ...

Our holiday to Haven was a big let down, luckily we booked a private caravan and didn't need to check in at reception and the caravan was very clean and modern. The weather for August was terrible so we resorted to going swimming nearly every day where the pool was dirty and the changing rooms were disgusting as they smelt, the pool contained a lot of bugs and leaves! The lockers cost £1 which was non returnable which mounted up if you ever forgot anything or wanted to put something in th ...
