Questions:
We’ve put together answers to hundreds of frequently asked questions at support.haven.com.
When you receive your booking confirmation, please contact us or your booking agent as soon as possible if any of the details contained in it are incorrect. It will detail any extras you have purchased such as Haven Holiday Protection and any other relevant information alongside your booking confirmation.
Please note that you are not allowed to re-sell our holidays or act as an authorised agent.
If you book via our contact centre or park you will be charged a £20 booking fee per accommodation booked. There is no charge if you book via our website Haven.com. We won’t charge a booking fee if you are booking with a Family Fund grant or if you need to book an accessible accommodation. When you book directly with us you will have the choice of booking either a Haven package or a Haven Hideaway package whether you stay in our accommodation or bring your own. If you have booked a Haven package, this includes your accommodation and access to our swimming pools, leisure facilities and activities, bars, restaurants, takeaways, supermarket, arcades and entertainment venues, subject to availability and the current booking requirements being met, and the showing of your Play Pass. Each member of your party included on your holiday booking, including children aged 4 and over, receives a Play Pass and it is this which gives you access to the facilities. If you do not have it with you, then you will not be allowed access. Play Passes do not give access to owners-only facilities. Some activities and facilities are subject to a small charge. We will let you know via email how to book free and paid for activities, swimming sessions, tables for the restaurants and how to order takeaways closer to your holiday. If you have booked a Haven Hideaway holiday, this includes your accommodation and access to the supermarket, arcades, restaurants and takeaways only. There is no access to any other facility such as the swimming pools, entertainment venues, bars and activities. We will let you know how to book tables for the restaurants and order takeaways via email closer to your holiday.
If you have booked through a third party of Haven, then please check with your agent which package you have booked as this varies by partner. If you do not book directly with Haven, but through one of our owners then you will be classed as a Haven Hideaway package guest and you will only be able to access the supermarket, takeaways, arcade, bars and restaurants. However, guests who have booked through an owner will have the opportunity on arrival to purchase a Play Pass, for anyone registered, to access the same facilities (swimming pools, entertainment venues, leisure facilities and activities) as a Haven package guest. This is only available to these guests and is subject to availability.
Members of the same family and/or friends who book multiple accommodations at the same park on the same date and are: (i) previously known to each other; (ii) travelling together; (iii) reside at the same address; or (iv) travelling for the same purpose such as a local event, will be considered as a group for the purposes of these terms, irrespective of whether separate bookings have been made. Please contact us if you want to travel as part of a group that would occupy five or more caravan holiday homes or pitches, we will not charge you a booking fee for making a booking with our group booking team. Please be aware that we don’t deem all our parks to be suitable for groups and may, therefore, reject your booking. If you haven’t made a group booking and arrive in a group, or are pre-known to each other, we may tell you to leave the park, without a refund. If we do accept your group booking, we may ask for a pre-paid deposit prior to your arrival. If you do visit one of our parks as a group and are unruly or antisocial, we’ll tell you (and your entire party) to leave the park immediately, without a refund.
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive holiday operator and aim to provide a great experience for all families and couples.
To achieve a friendly, family atmosphere for all our guests, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel bookings (without refund) from
We don’t knowingly allow any guest to use or visit our parks who: (i) has an unspent criminal conviction; (ii) has an entry on a criminal register (including the sex offenders’ register); (iii) has any record of any order indicating antisocial behaviour, violence, abuse, public disorder, or criminal damage or any other form of antisocial behaviour; (iv) is a convicted sex offender, subject to the notification requirements of the Sexual Offences Act 2003; or (v) is subject to a Risk of Sexual Harm Order or Child Abduction Notice. If you don’t disclose this information about yourself or any other member of your party, and it later becomes known to us, we reserve the right to cancel your booking and require that you, and the other members of your party, leave the park, without refund.
When you’re looking forward to a holiday, it can be disappointing to have to cancel because something has happened. That’s why we offer Haven Holiday Protection. Knowing that your holiday is financially protected should you fall ill or lose your job is reassuring, and Haven Holiday Protection allows cancellation due to: (i) redundancy; (ii) sickness; (iii) jury service; or (iv) death. Haven Holiday Protection is only available within 48 hours of your time of booking and can be booked directly with us either online or via our contact centre. Protection for each holiday home purchased costs £20 for five nights or less, £35 for six to nine nights, or £50 for ten nights or more. For touring or camping guests, protection’s just £5 for one to four nights or £10 for five nights or more per pitch. Payment for Haven Holiday Protection is taken at the time it’s added to the booking and once purchased, is non-refundable.
Choose Your Holiday Home is a scheme for our guests to select their location on park, if there is availability in your chosen grade. If you are eligible for the scheme, you will either receive an email or a box will appear in ‘My Account’ inviting you to pre-book your chosen location on your park, after you have completed your holiday booking. The scheme is not available on stays over 7 nights or within 7 days of arrival. There is a separate charge for Choose Your Holiday Home and payments must be made, in full, at the time of selecting and booking your holiday home, in order to guarantee your location on the park and your selected holiday home. If you change your mind about being part of the Choose Your Holiday Home scheme, or wish to cancel your holiday, you are entitled to a refund on your Choose Your Holiday Home charge, refunded onto the card you paid on. Please call the relevant park to arrange for your refund and quote your booking reference. You should be aware that by cancelling your Choose Your Holiday Home reservation, you have not necessarily cancelled your holiday. For guests using the scheme, there may be incidences where we have to move your pre-booked location due to a fault with your holiday home or replace the holiday home with a different model to what was originally shown. We will endeavour to ensure that you are informed of this change and find you alternative accommodation of the same level as you booked or offer you a full refund on your Choose Your Holiday Home charge.
Choose Your Check-in Time is a scheme to enable our guests to select their check-in time on the day of arrival (subject to availability for your chosen time). You will see an addon in “Extras” section within ‘My Account’ offering you the option to pre-book your chosen check-in time, either at the time of booking or after you have completed your holiday booking. If you change your mind and wish to cancel your pre-selected check-in time, this can be done by cancelling the addon within your account, providing it is more than 7 days prior to arrival. If we are unable to fulfil your chosen check-in time (for instance, because of an unexpected issue with your accommodation), then we will endeavour to ensure that you are informed of this change prior to arrival to advise you of your new check-in time. In such circumstances, your check-in time payment will be refunded in full.

The total value purchased on Haven Food & Drink Card (including the free 10%) can only be redeemed on the Haven Park linked to the holiday booking and for the duration of the linked holiday booking only. If you wish to remove the Haven Food and Drink Card from your booking, a full refund of the money paid can be obtained up to 24 hours before the start date of the holiday, after this time Haven Food & Drink Card is non-refundable.

Haven Food & Drink Card is not redeemable at the following venues: supermarkets (including bakery), fun shops, arcades, swimming pool shops or for any Activities & Leisure. The list of eligible venues may change from time to time, a list of venues is available on the Haven website.

Any value left on the Haven Food & Drink Card at the end of the holiday expires, is non-refundable, cannot be transferred to another holiday or exchanged for cash.
Please check your booking confirmation as soon as you receive it because it’s only the people on that confirmation who can occupy our accommodation and use our facilities. Please make sure you tell us as soon as possible if any of the details of your booking change after you’ve booked. If anyone not on your booking confirmation is found in occupation, we will cancel your booking and all guests on your booking, as well as the unauthorised persons, will be asked to leave the park immediately and without refund.
The total number of people coming with you (including children and babies) mustn’t be more than the capacity of your caravan holiday home. In most cases, this will be 6 or 8 people maximum so please check your confirmation carefully. If you do go over the maximum number then we’ll, unfortunately, have to turn away any extra people at check-in. You and members of your party who are 18 or over may be required to provide photographic identification (valid driving licence or passport) at any time during your stay.
Wherever possible, important information updates about your holiday will be published and available for you to view online at Haven.com. Please check your emails and our website in the lead up to your holiday. To continually receive the latest information please ensure we have your current contact details and your email address. To avoid disappointment, we would recommend pre-booking your activities where possible.
If you need a cot or highchair, you need to ask for it when you book, and we’ll do our best to get you one. A hire charge is payable for these items and a £10 deposit is required which will be returned to you at the end of your holiday. While our holiday homes are quite spacious, most won’t be able to fit a standard sized travel cot in the bedroom. Most of our guests find that the living room is the best place to put them.
There’s plenty of exciting indoor and outdoor stuff for kids to do at Haven. Our activities are very popular and fill up quickly, so you’ll need to book activities either before you go or as soon as possible after you arrive. Please visit haven.com/experience to book activities. We’ll do everything we can to keep you and your little ones safe at Haven, but your kids remain your responsibility at all times and you must make sure they do what our team say. Please note that services and facilities for children are not childcare facilities, and kids aged 8 and under may not be left alone without full adult supervision.
We’ve built our caravan holiday homes and facilities to suit a range of access needs. If you have a disability or are travelling with someone who does, please let us know at the time of booking. We will do our best to meet your requirements, but they cannot always be guaranteed. If your special request is a necessity for you to be able to take a holiday, or any member of your party has restricted mobility or access requirements, please contact our disability advisers to book your holiday. They can give you advice and information about our parks, caravan holiday homes and facilities – and they’ll do their best to design you a great holiday. We do, of course, accept accredited guide dogs in all of our caravan holiday homes and in all areas of our parks. This does mean we can’t guarantee that we’ve never had any dogs in our accommodation.
All our team members in food and beverage are trained in food allergen awareness. If you have a food allergy or special dietary requirement, please talk to one of our team members before ordering your food. Our food is all handled and prepared very carefully. We will give you as much information as we can about the ingredients and how the food is prepared so you can make an informed decision about whether or what to order in our venues.
We welcome (well-trained) dogs in different grades of our caravan holiday homes and on some of our pitches in all our parks except Burnham-on-Sea and Riviere Sands for a small charge. Up to two dogs are welcome in designated accommodation. There is no additional cost when booking directly with Haven as it is incorporated into your overall holiday price. If you have booked with a promotional partner there will be a charge of £40 per night per dog. Dogs with touring and camping guests will cost £1 per pet per night (up to 2 dogs per pitch). We don’t accept dogs listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act which are: Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro and Japanese Tosa. We can sometimes take other types of pet–but you’ll need to ask the General Manager at the park before you book. If you have a dog that’s noisy or behaving badly, we may ask you to take them away, so please keep your dog on a lead and make sure a responsible adult is looking after it. On our parks that welcome dogs, you will be able to take your dog into certain areas of our restaurants, patios and terraces. Please bear in mind that you won’t be able to take your pet into our entertainment venues, or other public areas, including outdoor pools.
We’ll do our best to give you a parking space next to your caravan holiday home or pitch – but we can’t guarantee this. If you’re planning to bring something that’s not a car with you (a lorry, van, motorbike, jet ski or boat, for example), please check with your park before you book – some parks don’t have the space, and some can’t accept large or noisy vehicles. Branded vehicles or vehicles with signage on the side are not allowed on park and may be turned away. We’re really happy that some of our guests are using hybrid cars to help protect our lovely environment. Please do not use your caravan holiday home electricity to do this. We’re working on ways we can help you charge your cars while you’re staying with us and are pleased to offer charging facilities on some of our parks, please contact the park directly for availability and pricing.
Our standard pitches are 6m x 6m – big enough to suit most units. You can only bring one tourer, motorhome, tent or trailer tent onto each pitch and you must pitch onto this pitch (unless directed otherwise). Your unit, guide ropes, awning, pup tent, gazebo or event shelter, if applicable at the park you’re staying at, must fit within your pitch area. If your unit is on the large side, we’ll do what we can to help you fit it in – but please let us know when you book so that we can confirm that we can accommodate you. There is a charge for pup tents, and you must tell us when you book so that we can check the pitch is suitable. (Not all parks and pitches can accommodate these). Some parks can’t accept gazebos, event shelters, awnings with annexes, for example – and in some, you can’t sleep under an awning. Please check what you can bring and what you can do before booking. Please be aware that if you choose to remove the Utility Service Charge from your pitch booking, you will not be allowed to use your own electricity generator while staying with us.
Please let us know when you book if you’ll be celebrating something special while you’re with us, and especially if you’re planning to have a party or to wear fancy dress. We want to make sure your plans will fit in with the environment of the park, so we need to approve this before taking your booking. If there’s anything else you’d like or need for your holiday, we’ll always do our best to get it for you. Please tell us when you book and put your request in writing on this Contact Form, remembering to give us your phone number.
Like most things to do with travel, the prices of our holidays change depending on availability. If guests book their holiday very close to arrival then fluctuations in price will occur on a much more frequent basis, so it is advisable to book early. You’ll find up-to-date prices on our website, although we can only confirm the exact price of your holiday when you book. Any quotation obtained prior to booking is subject to change. All pricing is subject to promotional availability at the time of booking your holiday. We guarantee that the price shown on your booking confirmation for the accommodation and party size, plus any supplements, is the amount payable by you but we reserve the right to raise or lower our holiday prices and other charges at any time before booking. Once you’ve booked and paid your deposit, we won’t change your holiday price unless the VAT rate changes, or unless we both agree. VAT will be payable at the prevailing rate on the date on which payment is made. Although we will confirm to you at the time of booking the price for the holiday including VAT at then current rates, if the VAT rate increases after we have confirmed your booking but before the start date of your holiday, we may ask you to pay an additional amount to cover this increase.
Our latest published prices can be found at haven.com. Guests are reminded that the prices displayed on the website are subject to change and may go up and down in response to changing market pressures. Haven offers are subject to limited promotional availability and, due to the increasing popularity of Haven holidays, offers can run out or may be withdrawn at any time.
If the price of your break goes down after you have booked, you can get a refund for the difference. You will be eligible for our Price Promise if: (i) you have booked your holiday directly with Haven and (ii) your booking confirmation states that you are eligible for our Price Promise. If you satisfy the aforementioned conditions then please get in touch if, prior to your holiday start date, you see us advertise your holiday on haven.com at a lower price and one of our team will investigate your query and apply the relevant adjustment if the price remains available. The adjustment is subject to the holiday being for the same park, dates, package (Haven holiday or Haven Hideaway packages), duration, accommodation type, number of guests and there still being availability to book. Our Price Promise only covers the original holiday booked by you. Third party promotions are excluded. All claims must be made by the start date of your break.
Debit or credit card: the easiest way to pay for your holiday is by debit (preferred) or credit card on the Haven website. If you make a payment over the phone, we will add a £3 administration fee to the total price of your booking. We accept Mastercard and Visa. We do not accept American Express, Delta, Diners Club, Maestro, Visa Electron or Solo. At the time of booking we will require: (i) the long card number; (ii) the last 3 digits of your security code; (iii) the expiry date; (iv) the cardholder’s name and address; and (v) for web payments, additional verification.
Cheques: if you are paying by cheque, please write your holiday booking reference on the back of the cheque and make it payable to Haven Leisure Limited and send to: Haven Leisure Limited, 1 Park Lane, Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, HP2 4YL. Cheques cannot be accepted for holidays starting within 30 days of the booking. We cannot accept cash payments, so please do not send cash. There is a £20 administration charge for dealing with cheques refused by your bank. Post-dated cheques are not accepted. Any bank charges incurred for these cheques are solely the guest’s responsibility. If you book through a booking agent, cheques should be made payable to them.
Electronic bank transfer: please call us if you want to make payment via electronic bank transfer and we will give you our bank sort code and account number along with the account name. We will also give you a payment reference to use. Please note that an electronic bank transfer can take between three to five working days to clear and, if making a deposit payment, your booking will not be confirmed until we are in receipt of the payment. A £3 administration fee will be added to the total cost of your booking for each payment made via bank transfer.
If you book more than 10 weeks before the start of your holiday, you can either pay the full amount or a deposit. If you book 10 weeks or less before the start of your holiday, you’ll have to pay in full at the time of booking. If you book any holiday less than 30 days before the start of your holiday, you (the lead guest) will need to make payment via electronic bank transfer or with a debit or credit card (in your name only) either over the phone or at Haven.com.
if you call us to pay there will be a £3 administration fee. Your booking will only be confirmed once your deposit has been paid, and deposit payments are non-refundable and non-transferable to anybody else. Your booking confirmation will show your balance due date(s). It is your responsibility to pay the balance when it’s due and, if you don’t, we’ll cancel your holiday and you won’t get your money back. We will remove any extras or add-ons applied to your booking if you have not paid for them in full within 10 weeks of the date of your arrival.
If we find out we’ve undercharged you because of a mistake on our part, we’ll get in touch to put things right. We’ll give you the choice of cancelling your holiday for a full refund or paying the full price. And if we’ve overcharged you by mistake, we’ll give you back the difference in price.
We know that people’s needs change – and we want to give you the best holiday we can. So, if you decide to change your booking, we’ll try our best to meet your needs. Unfortunately, what you want may cost more or may not be available. There’s also a minimum £20 admin fee for any changes.
If you need to change packages after booking, please call us. This is subject to availability, and the administration charge in the paragraph above. When we make the change, the booking will be repriced and will reflect the current prices and offers. Prices can go up and down in response to market pressures.
It may be possible for you to add more guests to a booking or change a name on the booking, but this will be subject to certain identification checks and will be subject to a £20 administration charge. It should be noted that we cannot change dates from one calendar year to the next. Please bear in mind that any changes made within 56 days of the start date of your holiday may count as a cancellation. We will, where possible, try to accommodate changes to your accommodation, package or holiday dates but this may incur additional costs.
If the changes you need aren’t possible and you don’t want to keep to your original booking, or you’re unhappy with the additional charges and don’t want to keep to your original booking, this will be classed as a cancellation
Please note that all requests to change your booking must be made by telephone by you (the lead guest) or your booking agent only. The request(s) should be made as soon as possible. We will correspond in all matters relating to your booking or party with you or your booking agent only. You act as representative for all members of your party.
We always hope that you don’t need to cancel your holiday booking but, if you do, please follow the below steps.
If you have Haven Holiday Protection and you are cancelling for sickness, redundancy, jury service or bereavement:
| Number of days before the start of your holiday | What you’d get back |
| 2 days (48 hours) or more | Full refund minus any amount paid for Haven Holiday Protection |
| 2 days (47 hours, 59 minutes) or less | 30% refund of your total holiday cost minus any amount paid for Haven Holiday Protection |
If you have Haven Holiday Protection and you are cancelling for any other reason:
| Number of days before the start of your holiday | What you’d get back |
| 70 days or more | Full refund minus any deposit paid, and any amount paid for Haven Holiday Protection |
| 69-43 days | 70% refund, minus any deposit paid, and any amount paid for Haven Holiday Protection |
| 42-29 days | 50% refund, minus any deposit paid, and any amount paid for Haven Holiday Protection |
| 28-8 days | 10% refund, minus any deposit paid, and any amount paid for Haven Holiday Protection |
| 7 days or less | No refund |
We always hope that you don’t need to cancel your holiday booking but, if you do, please call us as soon as you can or, if you booked through a booking agent, please call your agent. Unfortunately, we will not issue a refund and you will need to claim back through your holiday insurance provider.
We do everything we can to provide the great holidays we advertise on our website. But very occasionally we find we can no longer offer the holiday people have booked, or, in exceptional circumstances, find we need to cancel you booking. If this happens to you, we’ll advise you or your booking agent as soon as possible and offer one of the below options.
If we issue you with a refund, we’ll return your money in the same way you made your original payment – back to the same payment card, for example. If you’ve used coupons or vouchers to pay for your holiday, we may be able to transfer them to another holiday with us but, unfortunately, we can’t refund coupons or vouchers.
We’ll always do our best to give you the exact accommodation that you booked. But if you book a 2-bedroom caravan holiday home and we don’t have one available during your stay, we may put you in a three-bedroom caravan holiday home of the same grade instead.
Please be aware that, although we don’t run as many activities on check-in days, most of our facilities are open.
You will receive your arrival information via email/SMS prior to your arrival on park. Please keep a look out for arrival information updates. Your arrival slot will be sent by email 7 days prior to your arrival day.
Please bring your booking confirmation reference number (which can be quoted rather than showing the full document). Your payment card must be presented, along with a form of photo identification, before accommodation keys can be issued at check-in. Fully paid accommodation will be held until 12pm on the day following your holiday start date.
Check-out time is 10am and we reserve the right to remove any items remaining in your accommodation after this time. Please remember to give us back the keys and always leave your accommodation in a clean and tidy condition. You are welcome to use the park facilities on your departure day. When you book any experiences such as activities and tables in restaurants etc. The last session you should book is 4pm.
Check your booking confirmation to confirm you have purchased Play Passes, giving you access to our swimming pools, activities and most other leisure and entertainment facilities at the park during your stay. Without a Play Pass you will only be able to gain access to the supermarket, arcades, restaurants and takeaways when you have booked a table or placed an order.
Some activities cost extra or need a deposit, and some may not be suitable for everyone – you can find out more about these and up-to-date pricing at Haven.com/experience. We can only confirm the exact price of your activity when you book. We reserve the right to raise or lower our activities prices and deposits at any time before booking. Once you’ve booked and paid your deposit, we won’t change your activity price. Please note that our entertainment and activities programme may be reduced outside of school and bank holidays.
The information on our website about acts, shows you what we’ve got planned for your holiday. If we advertise a certain act, we’ll always do our best to make sure you see them. But if they can’t make it, we’ll replace them with similar acts. We’ll do our best not to, but you should bear in mind that we might make alterations to or withdraw certain amenities, facilities, activities and/or entertainment shows, if required for reasons outside of our control.
If, on arrival at your holiday home, you find it is not cleaned to the high standards we expect, then we will try to put things right. If we are not able to, you will receive a full, no-quibble refund for the cost of your holiday. You must report this to a member of our Holiday Reception team at Reception or via the My Haven app as part of the check-in process within 4 hours of arrival. After rating your cleanliness on the app, we’ll ask if you would like to be contacted by a member of the team. Failure to contact Holiday Reception or if using the My Haven app not asking to be contacted within 4 hours, invalidates our Haven Caravan Cleanliness Guarantee (HCCG). We won’t accept claims after this time. A member/s of our cleaning/management team will inspect the accommodation with you to review the issue. To meet the standards that we set, we will clean your holiday home again within 2 hours of the accommodation being inspected, so that you can carry on enjoying your getaway. If this is still not the high level we expect then whether you continue your holiday or return home you will receive a full, no-quibble refund for the cost of your holiday. This will be agreed at the time.
What is covered by HCCG: a failure to adequately clean the oven, fridge or microwave; carpets not vacuumed; toilet, bathroom or shower not adequately cleaned; dirty guest linen; or unemptied bins and any other similar missed cleaning standards.
What is not covered by HCCG: interior wear and tear; interior maintenance issues; missing items of inventory; external appearance of the caravan; general signs of age of accommodation; and location of the accommodation on the park.
HCCG covers all accommodation booked directly with Haven. Accommodation booked privately is not covered by HCCG as the booking agreement is between the guest and the private letting owner, not with Haven. Refunds will be processed and paid to you within 14 days of your holiday start date. Please note that the £49 compensation referenced in our Service Charter will not be paid in addition to the refund under the Haven Caravan Cleanliness Guarantee.
You can pre-book and pay for activities via haven.com/experience by using a debit card or credit card. All activities are subject to availability. Activities are not transferable to other parks and are valid within the current season only. Activity bookings will not appear on your booking confirmation or on your ‘My Account’
You can cancel your activity via haven.com/experience up to 48 hours prior to the activity start time, after which any cancellations or amendments must be done by the on-park Activity and Leisure team. The activity cost will be refunded the same way and using the same payment method. Please allow 35 days for it appear back in your account. We cannot refund or transfer any missed sessions unless you were not able to take part in the activity due to having to leave your holiday early because of illness or an emergency. In this case, please call the park to see if a refund is due. These refunds may take a little longer to process.
Guests must arrive prior to the start of the session as health and safety briefings are given. If you are late and have missed the safety briefing, for your own safety you may not be able to take part in the session. The Duty Activity and Leisure Manager has the overall responsibility for health and safety of the activity and can stop the session or ask a participant to leave at any time. In this case, no refund will be given.
Activities have age/height/weight or ability restrictions so please familiarise yourself with these before booking as the participants must meet any requirements to take part, and if they don’t, they may be refused access to an activity and no refund will be given. Proof of age may be required for health and safety reasons. If you are concerned about the presence of allergens in the food in our creative sessions, please ask a member of our team for assistance. It is at the Duty Activity and Leisure Manager’s sole discretion to refuse service to any individual.

We do everything we can to keep you and your party safe (and, of course, we have to do what the law, Health and Safety Executive and local authorities say). That could mean offering different activities or even, in the worst-case scenario, closing our facilities at short notice – if we needed to mend a roof urgently, say, or it was too windy for the outdoor pool. We’ll always try to tell you as soon as we know. And if there’s an issue at a certain park that we know about before you book, we’ll warn you. It’s important that you always follow our advice for staying safe while you’re with us. We don’t put lots of silly rules in place just for the sake of it, but we do have a few important ones designed to keep you safe. And here’s one of them: if you’re under 8 (or you can’t swim) and want to use our swimming pools, you must always be in the water with a responsible adult. One adult can be responsible for up to two children under 8 and must make sure that non-swimmers or beginners don’t go out of their depth. We also ask that everyone in and around the water does exactly what our team ask, because your safety is our number one priority. Only competent swimmers may use certain flume rides. Loose items, including goggles, cannot be worn on the flumes. Our venues are subject to maximum capacities set by the local fire officer and, as such, entrance to venues is not guaranteed. Because our venues are so popular, seating cannot be guaranteed or reserved. Please be aware that some entertainment shows use strobe lighting.
We want you to have fun at the park, but we need to ensure that we keep you safe. For that reason, we do not permit owners or guests to fly drones at the park. Similarly, in line with legislation and in accordance with health and safety advice, we only permit the use of electric scooters, Segways, hoverboards or balance boards if they are part of an organised, on-park activity. Please check with the park direct if you can bring Jet Skis, boats and any other watercrafts.
We take all reasonable steps to safeguard our premises and hope you will have no cause for concern during your holiday, but guests remain responsible for looking after their own belongings. Please remember to secure any vehicles or bicycles and try not to leave any valuable items on display. If you are bringing anything valuable on holiday you should check it is adequately covered by your insurance. We cannot accept any liability for loss or damage to your belongings unless it is due to our negligence.
Please bear in mind that you’re not allowed to film or take photographs in our swimming pools and changing areas. Due to the popularity of Haven, we get requests from TV and other companies to film/photograph on the parks, many of which we accommodate. We also take our own Haven promotional films and photographs on the parks throughout the year. They could be shooting anywhere in the park but where we cannot close the area to guests we’ll always try to make sure the filming doesn’t affect your holiday and that you always know what’s going on. In most cases we’ll attempt to ensure images or footage obtained does not identify anybody directly but please avoid the shooting area if you would rather not be caught on camera. If you are identifiable in the content captured we will ask for your consent. Should you wish to withdraw your consent at any time you can request this and we will remove it from our library. Please see our Privacy Policy for more information on your rights.
There’s no smoking of vaporisers, e-cigarettes and tobacco in any of our public buildings or accommodation, and we do our best to make sure guests do not smoke in these areas. We do have outdoor smoking areas, and these are clearly signposted. We have a zero-tolerance policy on illegal drugs, firearms and offensive weapons. If you take illegal drugs or any other illegal substance or are in possession of a firearm or offensive weapon, we will ask you to leave the park, without refund.
Let us know if you come down with something that you think will affect any of our other guests. If we become aware, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that you have contracted a contagious disease or illness that has the potential to infect many people quickly; you and your party may be asked to go home. If this is not possible, then restrictions will be placed upon your activities and movements to prevent the disease or illness being transmitted to other guests.
We hope you’ll have such a great time with us that you don’t want to leave. But if you do end up going home early, we won’t offer you a refund.
We hope you don’t have any mishaps while you’re with us. But if your accommodation is damaged by you or someone in your party during your stay, we have the right to recover the cost of this from you, including any extra cleaning costs. We may also go into your caravan holiday home at a reasonable time (and on reasonable notice) during your holiday to check the state of things. Any damage to your accommodation could result in your booking being cancelled, with no refund. If there’s an emergency, we can come into your accommodation without warning.
Let us know as soon as you realise you’ve left something behind. We’ll do all we can to find it, although we’re not liable if this isn’t possible or if it’s damaged. If we find it, we’ll return it to you, but you will have to cover the postage costs.
We want you to have a great time with us. So here are some promises we’ll make when we accept your booking. And because it’s a two-way street, you’ll also be making promises to us when you book.
Even though we’ll do all we can to give you a fantastic holiday, things do sometimes go wrong. Here’s what to do if you need to complain:
We’re always working hard to make sure everything is as you’d expect when you’re on holiday with us. In the unfortunate event that you have an issue, we promise to resolve it as quickly as we can. If you have an emergency issue such as loss of electricity, gas or water, or a major water leak we’ll work with our service providers to make sure your services are restored as soon as possible. We promise to fix it within 1 hour – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If we’re not able to fix an emergency issue within the time promised, we’ll give you a £49 compensation payment. Unfortunately, problems of this nature caused by external suppliers or regional outages are out of our control and won’t be subject to this compensation payment.
If you arrive at your accommodation and find any of the following essential issues:
we promise to fix it within 3 hours during our office opening hours (9am-5pm, 7 days a week). If we’re not able to fix an essential issue within the time promised, we will give you a £49 compensation payment. If we have failed to clean your holiday home to the standards we expect and the requirements of our Haven Caravan Cleanliness Guarantee are met as stated in section 6c of these terms and conditions and we have agreed a full refund, then the £49 compensation cannot be claimed as well.
When you make a booking request, you’re offering to buy one of our holidays, and you’re agreeing to follow our terms and conditions. We do have the right to turn down your booking request – if, for example, we don’t have the space, or we think you’d spoil things for our other guests. The agreement between you and us starts when:
Our agreement is with you, as the lead guest. Don’t forget that you’re making an agreement with us on behalf of everyone coming to the park with you. It’s up to you to make sure that they all know about these terms and conditions and accept them. The agreement lasts until you and your party leave the park.
If a court or a similar organisation questioned any of these terms, the rest of the agreement would still be valid. It would also still be valid if we allowed you to do something that we wouldn’t normally allow under the agreement.
We require evidence of identity and address details for all guests aged 18 and over. We reserve the right to check that any guests who are resident in the UK appear on the electoral register. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that you provide full and accurate names and addresses of all guests aged 18 and over so that a check of the electoral register can be carried out. If either your details or the details of any member of your party do not appear on the electoral register or the guest is resident outside the UK, we reserve the right to contact either you or the relevant member of your party before arrival to ask you/them for evidence of identity and address (”Alternate Checks”). A bank or credit card statement no more than 3 months old must be provided for proof of address; and an item of photographic identification (valid driving license or passport only) needs to be provided for proof of identity. If we do not receive evidence of identity and address within 14 days of contact, we reserve the right to cancel the booking, without refund. Please note that due to timescales of administration tasks, bookings made within 30 days of the holiday start day will not qualify for our Alternate Checks and bookings may be declined if the guest details provided when booking do not appear on the electoral register. You and members of your party who are 18 or over may be required to provide photographic identification (valid driving licence or passport) at any time during your stay. Failure to provide identification may result in termination of your holiday and you being refused entry to the park or being asked to leave, without refund.
We’ll do our best to give you a great holiday, and we accept responsibility for things that go wrong that we should have foreseen or prevented when you booked. We’ll deal reasonably and proportionately with any claims for loss or damage that are our fault, and we’ll never try to avoid responsibility for things that the law says we can’t.
Unfortunately, we can’t take responsibility or pay compensation if we cancel or change your booking in any way because of events beyond our control. Neither can we accept any liability for any injury, loss or damage you suffer because of events beyond our control. Some of the things we mean by ‘events beyond our control’ are fire, flood, explosion, storm or other weather damage, break-in, criminal damage, riots or civil strife, industrial action, natural or nuclear disaster, epidemics or pandemics, adverse weather conditions, war of threat of war, actual or threatened terrorist activity, and unavoidable technical problems with transport.
In the event of adverse weather, your booking will only be refunded if your chosen park is closed in the interests of health and safety. If you cannot travel on the day to your chosen park due to adverse weather, we will do our best to move your booking to an alternative date and/or different park, but refunds will not be provided. We recommend taking out appropriate insurance.
Our terms are subject to English law – which means that if it ever came to it (and we hope it never would), we both agree that English law would apply to this agreement. And if things went really wrong, we both agree to allow the English courts to make the decisions.
When you book with us, you’ll be giving us some personal information about you and the other people coming with you. We may use and process such personal information in accordance with our privacy policy which can be found at privacy policy. You may choose to provide us with information about your health or the health of members in your party, so we can assist you with any disability needs. This information will only be used for the purpose(s) for which you provide it to us.
We’ll only talk to you (or your booking agent) about your information. By booking with us, you’re agreeing that we can use the information in accordance with our privacy policy and you’re confirming that everyone who’s coming on the break with you understands how we will process their personal data. If you’re using a booking agent or other provider, make sure you look at their privacy policy to find out how they’ll use your information.
We do our best to make sure that the information on our website is accurate when we publish it, but the parks don’t look exactly the same – and the photos, layout plans, artists’ impressions and so on are there to give an impression of what it’s like at Haven. So please don’t take them as gospel. Some facilities may vary between the parks – please read park-specific information carefully. Accommodation décor, size and layout may also vary between parks. Not all accommodation is identical to the pictures shown on the website.
We reserve the right of entry to our parks, and the right to refuse entry to our parks without notice.
You can’t copy anything from our website (even photos) without our written permission. Nothing in our agreement gives you or the people who come with you any rights over our trademarks or other intellectual property. And you promise that you won’t acquire any rights to any of our trademarks or intellectual property.
