    Amazing, the best Haven site we have visited! Our caravan was clean and tidy on arrival. We visited the beach and enjoyed a walk to St Audrie's Waterfall which was beautiful. We went to Mash & Barrell for a meal on both Friday and Saturday night which was lovely. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was reasonably priced. The arcades were clean and well kept. The site overall was well kept, clean and tidy. The activities we booked for the kids were great and they really enjoyed them. We can't wait to return, very soon!

    All staff amazing. Great facilities. Best arcades and amusements for families and couples lol. Prices not too bad for a resort. The park needs better pathways around the resort as it can be quite dangerous around the shop area as pathways are missing and you end up on the roads. Also needs better signage to the 'Beach Path' as we found it hard and met other people trying to find rhe best way. Chippy nice especially the fried squid.

    We have at a loverly haven site at doniford bay. The caravan was nice and clean,the site is well spaced out you dont feel hemmed in. Amenaties are good being a smaller site food entertertainment and resteraunt are all under 1 roof so when entertainment on can be quite loud if you sre eating. Food and staff i would give 6 stars ,staff hard working polite very profesional and the food was excelent. There is a good menu with many offers food price was very reasonable and value very good ,nice pool and activitied. Sadly i cant recomend the fish and chips i would'nt say they were traditionak frozen chips fish was thin and no tast batter was nice and crispy menu i thought was expensive for quality of food

    A great holiday park with fantastic facilities. Our children especially loved the swimming pool slides and the entertainment in the club. There is also a small playground and multi sports arena that we made a lot of use of. We do though find that Haven caravans seem smaller and less well equipped than those that you now find on other caravan sites. There are also lots of other activities on the camp but we didn't do any of them apart from the crazy golf as they were quite expensive. Despite this though, we found it to be a fantastic holiday park and the kids especially loved it all.

    Well what a lovely break. This is a lovely friendly site. The staff are all lovely. Great facilities and spotlessly clean and tidy. Dog friendly and good food. We loved it so much we actually bought a holiday home there. The sales team were so helpful especially Ricardo. Thier no pressure approach was really refreshing. Having looked to buy and visited a few sites now were confident we have made the right choice and cant wait to get the keys and make lots of happy memories 😊
