“Fantastic 2 week Break for all the Family”
Written on: 28/08/2011
Just returned from a two week break at Holiday Resort Unity (Brean Park) our party consisted of 5 (3 adults 2 children) age range 4-62. The caravan was clean and lounge/kitchen area spacious. Bedrooms were small but beds were very comfortable and the caravan was one of the warmest I've stayed in. The red field is a prime location close to all the amenities but far enough not to be disturbed in the evening. The park was extremely well staffed by very helpful and friendly people and was...

We hired our caravan from the owner direct as haven charge double for your stay, which meant we had to buy our entertainment passes seperatley.
1. Nothing is free except the childrens park which you have to buy an entertainment pass to get access to, which is costly at £22 per adult and £18 per child,
2. You have to use your pass to get access to the bar and restaraunt and swimming pool
3. Apart from swimming...

Written on: 15/04/2011 by coasterjamie (18 reviews written)
Me and my family stayed here for three nights. We bought entertainment passes, and got a lot of use out of them.
The swimming pool was average. It has a small flume and a smallish pool, accompanied by a bad bubble pool. The layout of this pool is very good though. It is a shame because when the pool is busy, you only get just over an hour before it is your turn to come out.
The amusements arcade is very good and equipped with games for all ages, but the prizes for the tickets aren't...

Written on: 07/10/2010 by Roy07 (1 review written)
We stayed at the Haven Burnham-on-Sea park for a four night midweek deal at the end of September 2010. We paid extra to upgrade the caravan and for the gas, electric and linen.
We didn't pay for the club passes... why should one pay extra for the privilege of spending money in their bar! But they gave them to us anyway.
The caravan was really nice and spotlessly clean. It wasn't top of the range with a veranda but had a DVD player and microwave etc. A nice bonus was a small convector heater...

We only travelled from Bristol to Burnham, about 30 miles, for the weekend.
The caravan was comfortabl, but not over clean and beds were not made up as advertised.
Kids entertainment was good.
Ok for a weekend but think a week would be too long and prove boring.

Just come back from Burnham on Sea and we had a great time. We arrived about an hour early and our caravan was ready. We were right on the lake in an exclusive caravan which was very clean and tidy. The only complaint I would have is that the mattress was very springy and for the price we paid I would have expected it to be of better standard,, luckily there was a spare duvet in the wardrobe which i used as a mattress topper.
The staff were very friendly, and the food edible.

Just spent a few days in the touring part of this site. Great site and relly helpful warden - he even brought over a barrow full of wood shavings to help us to dry out our grass pitch before putting the awning up. However, the huge downside for me was the toilet/shower facilities. They were filthy most of the time, and the showers were freezing - too cold for small children to use. The cleanliness of the toilets, I know, is a lot to do with those using them, but Haven don't help... (read more)

We spent a week at burnham on sea holiday park and we loved it! This was our second visit, and we booked again. The stie is a nice size, with a duck pond and nice indoor and out door pools. The entertainment in the evening was great and my 3 year old daughter loved the shows. The site shop is dear but the town of Burnham is only a 5 min walk from the park. I found all the staff and funstars were friendly and helpful.

We got back from Burnham on sea Haven just over week ago and normally I hate coming home but I was really looking forward to it! We went camping for 5 nights but came home a night earlier. We had a great pitch (so we first thought!) right opposite the toilet and shower block which meant that the kids could pop over and we didn't have to worry about them going too far. There were 4 showers and unless you go very early we had to queue and wait. They were cleaned I believe first thing in the... (read more)

I stayed at the Haven Park, Burnham between 27th July and 3rd August 2009, along with my adult daughter and four children ages 11, 12, 13 1nd 14. I had booked a 3 bed Superior caravan to sleep 8 as the age and sex of our party meant one adult had to sleep in the sitting room. When we tried to use the fold out bed in the sitting room it was late at night and proved to be broken. It took three complaints over three days befor it was fixed and in the mean time my daughter had to sleep on the... (read more)

Went to Burnham for the last week in June, weather was fabulous, very hot and Burnham is a nice town with lots of amenities and Explosion, one of the acts were very good, however, those are the only good points. On arrival at the park after checking in we went straight to the "Superior Plus" caravan with birds poop on the front door, not a good start.

Have just spent a lovely 4 night break at this Haven site, Burnham On Sea. We found it very clean and tidy with teams actually picking up rubbish at 8.15am, we found plenty to do during the day and a relaxing treat in the early evening was to walk around the 2 fishing pools watching the canadian geese tend their babies or watch the woodpecker peck for worms or see the baby bunnies go diving for cover when they saw us. Our caravan was luxury itself and would have bought it if I already didn`t... (read more)

Haven Holidays, Burnham On Sea, has good space, layout and location. Went camping last year in May as a last minute decision because of the lovely weather. Paid less then £30 for 3 nights with electric hook up!
Had a brilliant time- got there and checked in straight away no hanging around. Got to our pitch to see the amount of space we had with space to park the car too! Excellent! So not over-crowded and we were really pleased.

The holiday park at Burnham On Sea was pleasant enough and the caravan was clean however there were some fundamental problems which would be so simple to fix, such as; no paths to caravans which meant the surrounding grass became a quagmire (particularly as some residents insisted on driving onto the grass) and the caravan floor quickly became covered in mud, very poorly equipped caravans and not enough cutlery & plates for the number of berths, no vacuum or mop only a broom, no heating...

Having spent a few enjoyable nights at haven Devon cliffs, I was disappointed with Burnham on sea. The caravan, a superior plus, was ok for summer, but in early winter the heating just couldn't keep up, and the draught coming through the windows made staying there very difficult - we left 3 days early.
One of the biggest disappointments was the pool - Nothing to play on for our young kids, and when we needed to take one to the toilet we found the gents, ladies and disabled toilets all...

Will not be going back again.
We ended up making dinner and lunch in our caravan, not wasting money on disgusting food!
Luckily we drove, so we could get out and about, disappointed with ALL 'beaches'. Most of them are just sinking mud.
Half our party left early as they were so annoyed and bored.

On arrival of our PRESTIGE Caravan, the doors were not locked, on entering the caravan there was grass everywhere, in every room, the beds had been half done, some had been made, the rest with dirty covers taken off and left in a heap!

We have been to Haven before so had a fair idea of what to expect at Burnham On Sea and we weren't disappointed.
The site is well laid out in a lovely area. Our caravan was clean and other then the single beds being a bit small, we were very happy.
There is the usual slot machine area, luckily my kids aren't over bothered by all that as it's hard to avoid.
The swimming pool is nice, not huge but big enough. Some of the time they had to operate sessions, but as this was peak season with rubbish...

We had a caravan for the weekend for us and our 2 children plus my sister and her husband. The end bedroom was fine, the other two bedrooms were best suited just for children but there was another make up double bed in the lounge area. It was lucky that we had decent weather and could spend most of our time outdoors. We only returned to the caravan for some meals and to sleep. We took our kids bikes to the park and they enjoyed riding round on them - at least it was free. I don't think... (read more)

Once we arrived we were shocked to discover that we had to wait and queue for our keys in the showroom upstairs, after a fairly tiring journey we didn't expect to have to wait and already start spending holiday money which you have to when you have three young kids.

The Burnham On Sea Haven Park is the worse I have ever come across within the chain. We have stayed at 5 other Haven Parks and the standard has been high, especially Weymouth Bay. We arrived back home on the 27/08/04 after a 6 night break at Burnham On Sea, the experience was a shock to the system. We paid £568 for a Silver Olympic 2004 model caravan and were held up on check in for an hour while the care team amended our site location due to the intended caravan had not yet been cleaned...

Written on: 19/06/2011
Well this review is as annoying as your actual stay sounds. How can you expect somebody to take this seriously when you whinge on about the park not taking more care to minor detail when you can barely string a written sentence to detail on an internet review, how Ironic.
When you were younger did you ever think to pay attention in your english lessons and did they ever actually teach you to string a written sentence together with adequate punctuation that one may read it with ease? I doubt this highly.
Secondly, Does the full stop button on your keyboard actually work as there seems to be a serious malfunction of its use.
In order to help the little intelligence you do possess, let me show you how an ordinary brain would function with the imformation that such a person would want to portray:
" On arrival, we recieved the keys for our accomodation. On first impression, I honestly felt like crying. The caravan was filthy and to my dismay none of the beds were made up. The whole park, including it's facilities were of a very low standard and to top it all off when using the club toilet, I was forced to wait for someone to come in so that I could ask them to pass me toilet paper. This park is overpriced and overrated and I would just like to let their head office know that I would never go back there again."
I understand that all of those changes to your original review must be hard to take on the little intelligence you possess, however my other main problem is that the whole review seems to be based around the fact you got stuck in a toilet cubicle without toilet paper. To be completely honest with you, this has happened many a time in lots of difference places to me and it has never made me want to broadcast the problem via the internet. Have you ever considered possibly getting a life? If so, I would refrain from publishing any further reviews online to save your own dignity and to further embarrassment in the future until you have done so.
