Great British winter breaks start here
A winter break is all about enjoying the UK at a different pace. With fewer crowds, quieter beaches and more room to explore, it's the perfect time to escape everyday routines and spend quality time together. Whether you're planning a romantic coastal getaway, a family adventure or a dog-friendly break, Haven's winter breaks offer a chance to slow down and make the most of the season.
Wander along windswept shores, discover local towns and attractions, or simply enjoy a change of scenery before returning to the comfort of your accommodation. Nine of our incredible Haven parks will be open over the festive period, including Cala Gran (Blackpool), Craig Tara (Scotland), Devon Cliffs (Devon), Hafan y Mor (North Wales), Kent Coast (Kent), Primrose Valley (Yorkshire), Rockley Park (Dorset), Seashore (Norfolk) and Seton Sands (Scotland).
Family winter breaks in the UK
Winter is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy a family break by the coast. With fewer crowds and plenty to do on park, there's more time to relax, reconnect and make memories together. Every Haven park has a heated indoor pool, so little ones can splash and play whatever the weather, while outdoor play areas and soft play at selected parks mean there's always somewhere to burn off energy.
Our much-loved Seaside squad has been entertaining families for over 30 years, bringing seasonal fun to little holiday makers alongside winter and festive entertainment. If you're planning ahead many activities can be pre-booked up to 12 weeks before your break, making it easy to secure your family's favourites before you arrive.
Winter breaks for couples in the UK
If you're dreaming of a winter escape by the coast, Haven offers the perfect setting to slow the pace and spend quality time together. Enjoy peaceful coastal walks, cosy evenings and beautiful surroundings before returning to your holiday home to unwind.
There's plenty to enjoy together beyond your accommodation too. Share dinner at one of our restaurants, before trying something new with activities like archery or watersports at selected parks. As evening falls, enjoy live entertainment for a relaxed way to round off the day. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply escaping everyday life, a Haven winter break offers the perfect mix of relaxation and shared experiences.
Winter weekend breaks across the UK
A winter weekend break is the perfect way to press pause and enjoy a change of scenery without traveling far. With nine of our Haven parks open during the festive period, enjoy everything from dramatic clifftop views at Devon Cliffs to stunning Scottish coastlines at Craig Tara.
Winter is also a wonderful time to explore the outdoors, with quieter beaches, crisp coastal walks and plenty of fresh sea air to enjoy. If you're bringing your four-legged friend, you'll find dog-friendly accommodation at the majority of our parks, making it easy for everyone to join the adventure. Whether you're planning a winter break in England, Scotland or Wales, Haven has a destination to suit every kind of weekend away.
Festive breaks
