Have just returned from primrose valley with my wife and two girls aged 4,6.we stayed mon to fri in a prestige caravan on beech rise which we booked in January and only paid 180 pound as we got 50% off.the caravan was very nice with a parking space for the car at the front, it was very clean and had everything there we needed, we also had no breakdowns with anything too.the complex was very good lots to do for the kids and had great entertainment on every night. The swimming pools were good but one was only open on a morning which wasn't very good, the food on site was quite expensive but there is a supermarket there and one down the road in filey too so you can easily cook in your caravan, overall I would say primrose valley is a very good holiday park for all the family but I would say that 5 days is easily enough.

Just spent a week here activity pool is brilliant for kids but my 3 yr old loved little learners driving school, the guy even helped her round as she was a bit too small. Really great idea for the kids it's by the activity pool, they've even got a bungee trampoline for the bigger kids!!! The best part of the holiday for her was driving the fire engine!!!

My 11 year old daughter,her friend,my father and myself recently returned from visiting Primrose Valley where we had a fantastic holiday and would definately like to go back to. We stayed in a 3 bedroom superior caravan where the rooms were clean, although you had to pay extra to get your beds made upon arrival. A small downside to the caravan was that the rooms were fairly small and it didn't have much space for our clothes. The site itself is huge and contained 4 pools, one was a big pool with a slide, another was a childrens splash pool with a tipping bucket, water foutains and slides and the other two pools were outdoors. The kids had a superb time in all of these pools.
The site offered activities for the children to join in with including a climbing wall, aqua jets, bungee jumps, a fairground, ropes course and water walkers ect. Although these were only available to the children after paying a small fee, the children seemed to really enjoy participating in them so it was well worth paying the extra money.
The entertainment was excellent, and the children loved taking part in the shows such as bingo and the game show to win prizes. My daughter took part in a talent show, she loved it and won free tickets to the sea life centre! The FunStars and other staff were very friendly and helpful.
The food was good, especially the pizza. We enjoyed eating at the Mash and Barrell, except we had to wait for about 30 mins until our food arrived. The shop is a Spar, with a varitey of things for sale, and it wasn't over priced.
With just a short walk to the beach, and plenty of things to do on site, we were never stuck for ideas of how to spend the day! I thoroughly recommend Primrose Valley to anyone thinking of taking their children on a caravan holiday as my daughter and her friend really enjoyed the holiday and it was very relaxing for myself and my father as the children were both continually occupied with activities to take part in.

We arrive back yesterday from Primrose Valley, we had a lovely holiday, but on arrival we found our caravan gruby and the carpets still wet, so they changed the caravan ( we stayed in a platinum caravan) this caravan was still not as clean as I expected but they sent someone to clean this up.
other than this we really enjoyed the holiday, the park was great lots to do ( some at an extra cost) food was good especially the pizza. shop is a Spar so the same cost as anywhere.
I would recommend this holiday but I would say if you have a problem when you get there, get it sorted out the staff seemed really nice and willing to help.

Overall i had an enjoyable stay at primrose valley. It is great for kids although most things do cost extra funfair,crazy golf go karts etc .. childrens entertainment was good even thought they did show the same show twice during our stay. As for direct beach access .. i wouldnt call it direct it was a 10 min walk & about 10 - 15 min walk along the beach to filey. Bar staff are VERY slow even with no que i cld wait 10 minutes for my drinks!! The park is massive we were lucky and were only a 5 minute walk away from complex but others i spoke to have a 40 minute walk !! scarborough is also a lovley place to visit very hilly tho! caravan was nice although there was no frying pan and no net curtains on bedroom windows and one net curtain was ripped in the living room

My husband and our two children (age 3 and 15 mths) have just returned from Primrose Valley staying for 5 days (19th - 23rd Oct). I was rather anxious about the accommodation and its cleanliness (having read certain reviews on here and other sites) as we only booked standard. However, I need not have worried as it surpassed our expectations! It was a bright, spotlessly clean, spacious and modern 3 bedroom caravan with all the amenities you could wish for - Perfect for us!
The park itself was nice and easy to navigate. The arcades were a big hit with our two - especially the Tea cups ride! The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I found all the food/drinks competitively priced. The shop was a little on the expensive side but only by a few pence (no where near the £150 extra like one review stated!)
Fish & Chip shop was lovely (Fish, a good sized portion of chips and peas £5.95), Burger King and Papa John's Pizza (Very tasty!) both have good family offers. Mash and Barrel offers a great pub lunch (2 meals for £8.99) we didn't eat there but others raved about the food.
The kids entertainment was fab for my 3yr old and he was glued to the 'Zoo Troop Show' from start to finish in Jesters Bar. There were also morning play sessions that both my boys could take part in (Free Toddlers Cubs Club Age 1-4yrs) which they painted, built and played with lots of different toys.
Down sides: Swimming Pools were rather small - although great if you like having a BIG (I mean BIG!) bucket of water land on your head every 4 mins! Both my boys loved Splash Adventure pool but my 3yr old was disappointed he couldn't go down the slide - even with an adult (Meanies!) (Lockers are 20p each and you don't get this money back - but it's only a small amount to pay out, for 4 of us we only used 1 locker)
Fun Fair and Crazy Golf was a big disappointment and over priced (We've been to Butlins where fair is included in cost of holiday and this beats Haven's poor effort hands down.) It looked old and tatty. So we decided to go to nearby Flamingo Land for a fantastic day instead and spent the same amount of money!
I would definitely go back to this park and recommend it to others.

Spent 20th to 27th July at Primrose Valley. Booked a superior plus van and got a beautiful van with veranda and sea view. Clean and most definitely a privately owned van. It had it's own washing machine and iron which made life a lot easier. Chinese Restaurant on the site was excellent and they do takeaways too. Primrose Valley Diner was great little place for lunch too. Nice walk along the beach to Filey with donkey rides for the kids. Fab choice of food on the park. Indoor Pool was good, if a little overcrowded sometimes. Bridlington and Scarborough within easy reach by car (go to their tesco's and save youself some money). Even though peak season, got a seat in the showbar every night. Entertainment was ok, but sometimes coming on a little late when you have kids with you. A little too much of the Funstars singing and quizzes spinning out time. Overall a great park and enjoyed out holiday. Would recommend to anyone.

Plenty to do. The funfair is great, and there are LOADS of activities to choose from (ie. rockclimbing, archery, waterjets). The first time we went we got an amazing caravan, but this time we got a bit of a shabby one. We asked for another one, but it was just as bad. Most of the machines in funworks were broke. It's great here. It's probably more for toddlers because the shows are mostly kiddie stuff... BUT I LOVED IT...

Just enjoyed a great holiday at Primrose Valley with my wife and daughter.
We have been going to PV for many years, and although we still love the place we feel it has lost some of its personal touch, and become expensive in some areas ie fish and chips at five pounds ninety five, when you can go to nearby Filey and get quality for just over four pounds.
On arrival this year we went into Jesters for a drink and were greeted by someone who we think needed a personality transplant, surely bar staff in a lot of cases are the first point of contact and should welcome you, after all you are on holiday - as the saying goes first impressions count.
Looking forward to 2009 but with more variety entertainment wise, affordable fish and chips, and some different bar staff.

We had group booking of 5 prestige caravans, 3 of which were filthy and old, but after speaking to staff we were relocated no problem. Caravans were lovely. Went on Saturday 12th July and back home on Sat 19th July. Loved the area and the camp. As we had booked as a group we would have liked to have been together but not to be. Wouldn't do if group was elderly or infirm.

I used to go to Primrose Valley as a kid and loved it! The whole family enjoyed it as far as I remember. The bar, the pool, the entertainment at night time and the kiddies club during the day!

Primrose Valley Haven Holiday Park is a very good site; one of the best we have been to. We have a touring caravan, and this area is very well maintained and very clean. We found everything else to be great, and we did not want to go home. The food is average price for eating out, but good quality. If you go to the Chinese next to the site, it does cost more, but it is privately owned (not by Haven). The chip shop is average but OK.
We would return. It was very expensive in the holidays, but we loved it!!

Overall, Primrose Valley is a great place to go with your family. There is so much to do and see, you will never be bored. Caravans were clean and had most things inside. Staff are friendly.

We went to Primrose Valley Haven Holiday Park in April 2006. There are lots of activities for the children, and they loved the rock climbing and the pool.
We were unable to park near the caravan because it was very muddy, but despite that we had a brilliant time! We are going back again in October.
