Five reasons to buy a static caravan in Somerset
Somerset is one of several South West England gems. Despite having to share the limelight with likes of Dorset, Devon and Cornwall, Somerset is an incredibly wise choice for any potential second home.
The lifestyle on offer here is a reality few places can match. We’ll explain why we rate Somerset so highly in this, the five reasons to buy a new or used static caravan in Somerset.
1. Two terrific holiday parks to choose from
It goes without saying that for holidaymakers, Somerset is a solid choice for any length of quality time away with the family. This quite literally extends to a place that you can holiday at as when and you please. There are two fantastic Haven holiday parks in which this dream can made a reality.
Burnham-on-Sea Holiday Park is one of our most convenient spots, close to both the breath of fresh air you come to expect from a Haven location, and an array of amenities in the town it’s named after. Doniford Bay is equally enticing, sitting on the coast just outside the town of Watchet, a picturesque Somerset spot that’s the type you see on a postcard.
2. Amenities to make every day easy
Somerset is the ideal place to set up a second home, and living here is made all the easier with the fantastic services you can access just a short distance away from your spot at one of our parks.
Here’s what to expect:
On park mini markets
Burnham-on-Sea
Doniford Bay
Supermarkets
Tesco Burnham-on-Sea
Lidl Burnham-on-Sea
Co-op Watchet
Leisure centres
Burnham-on-Sea Swim & Sports Academy
Quantock Lodge Leisure
Great for shopping
Burnham shopping centre
Eastover Indoor Shopping Centre, Bridgwater
Train stations
Highbridge and Burnham Train Station – direct services to Cardiff, Weston-super-Mare and Taunton
Doniford Halt, on the West Somerset Railway – direct service to Minehead
3. Where a leisurely lifestyle becomes routine
There are so many ways to adopt a routine whilst you’re away at your second home in Somerset. The owner communities at both our Sussex holiday parks benefit from exclusive events and features throughout the year, fostering a sense of community that’s priceless.
Places like Watchet Town Football Club and Watchet Bowling Club aren’t just sporting venues, they’re places where residents come together to make memories. Similarly, in Burnham-on-Sea, the town’s Ritz Social Club hosts themed nights throughout the year.

4. Beauty as far as the eye can see
Whether you’re five minutes from your place at a Haven holiday park in Somerset, or a few miles further afield, the scenery in front of you is likely to be picturesque. Spectacular inland areas like Cheddar Gorge tie in with the rolling hills that overlook the stunning surroundings of Glastonbury to create unique and beautiful backdrops.
It goes without saying that the Somerset coastline ties in with this too. It’s a place where wild Atlantic crash into the land to make the walks here fantastic throughout the year, whatever the weather.
5. Events to enjoy throughout the year
Somerset hosts one of the world’s most famous music festivals, Glastonbury, so it’s safe to say it’s no stranger to welcoming visitors for memories that last a lifetime. Closer to your second home, you’ll see why the likes of Weston-super-Mare are world-famous seaside.
The combination of classic seaside fun and family-friendly events are a constant winner throughout the year.

Let2offset - make no site fee payments until 2032
Let2offset is a contractual lettings product that offers eligible owners a guaranteed letting income at a preferential rate (calculated each year) in exchange for a stipulated number of letting breaks. It also allows eligible owners to pay their site fees and receive their letting income in 12 equal monthly instalments; the monthly site fee amount charged by Haven will be after deduction of the letting income.
‘Make no site fee payments until 2032 when using Let2offset’ is available at 33 Haven parks excluding Burnham, Cardigan View, Far Grange, Garreg Wen, Lydstep Beach, Riviere Sands and Seaview. The letting income received will vary by make, model and location. The monthly site fee payment does not include running costs e.g. utilities, rates & insurance.
“Make no site fee payments until 2032 when using Let2offset” is applicable to new and existing customer purchases of new Victory Ashberry 3 Bed or equivalent grade holiday home purchases made through Haven where customers have also signed up to Haven’s Let2offset contract. It is not applicable to private sales and cannot be used in conjunction with our free Site Fee promotion. An example of how “Make no site fee payments until 2032 when using Let2offset” operates under Let2offset is the purchase of a Victory Ashberry 3 Bed holiday home at Seton Sands with a monthly site fee of £667.08 (includes purchasing discount of £17.08) and monthly letting income of £673.17. The monthly difference equates to £23.17, which will be credited to the owner's account. Both letting income and site fees are subject to yearly pricing reviews and inflation. The monthly site fee costs and letting income shown in the example are based on 2025 figures. Modelled assumptions on expected annual site fee and letting income charges over the 7-year lettable life of the Victory Ashberry 3 Bed indicate that under Let2offset it is anticipated that these customers will continue to receive a monthly credit during this period, however, this is not guaranteed. The modelled assumptions are based on the historical performance of Haven over the past 5 years of trading as of 2024. Images are shown for representational purposes. Access to holiday home is subject to park opening times. Park cannot be used as a permanent residence.
