“Couldn't wait to go home”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
5
people found this review helpful

When we got there, we were shown to our caravans (we had hired 2). One turned out not to be ours as reception had given us the wrong key (thank god the people staying there weren't it), the second one had 'travellers' in there.
The front room and the kitchen is a really nice size, was impressed with this.
There is a tv but you will be lucky if you can get anything out of it.
The bedroom was horrible. My partner and i had a twin room (2 single beds), they were pushed up against each wall. Inbetween, there was a gap of around 40cms. Two people could not be in there at the same time, unless one was in bed. It felt like you were boxed in.
There was no side table as there was room, so i put my phone on the floor went i went to sleep. What a mistake, it was lovely and wet when i woke up. The walls were wet (remember your beds are pushed up against these). The place was freezing.
If you need to get out during the night, it is nearly impossible to do this without waking the other person, then if you make the mistake of flushing the loo, you will wake the whole caravan up.
It is probably a great place if you have kids, but if you don't then stay away. On-site, there is a arcade, 2 bars and fast food place.
As it is a place for kids, you can understand the cartoon animals walking around, but when you (25yrs old) and your partner (33yrs old) are trying to have a quiet breakfast, i dont see why they have to come up and get your attention. we had no children anywhere near us and these characters don't speak.
Staff are very friendly and the entertainers are great with the kids.
Would never, ever go here again.

“Great Family Break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Hadn't been on a caravan holiday before and was a bit worried due to some previous reviews and watchdog but had booked the Sun £9.50 deal (with the upgrade) so thought we'd give it a go and use the caravan as a base to visit family in Sussex. We needn't have worried as we had a fantastic time! Was expecting to get a dirty caravan so sent my husband in first to check it and he came out and told me it was like an Ikea showroom! Everything looked new and was spotless. There was plenty of room (even an extra bedroom we didn't need!) and everything we needed including extra duvets. The caravan was very cold (It was October) and so we definitely needed the extra duvets! The bathroom with shower was bigger than expected. Parking was convenient, right outside the caravan. And we had a sea view! Whilst there we visited Camber Sands, Rye, Lewes, Drusillas, Alfriston, Sea Life Centre at Brighton and would recommend all!

Went to the kids entertainment in the evening and my 3 yr old loved it. Agree with the previous reviewer that the character breakfast is great fun for kids. Found that the Spar shop mainly stocked convenience foods and not much fresh food however there is a big tesco nearby. Also the pub on site has a great range of food including healthy options and was good quality. All the staff we met were really helpful and friendly and they provide excellent customer service. There were plenty of facilities - so many that we didn't get chance to try them all out!

Would thoroughly recommend this holiday park especially for family holidays with kids. My husband and I have been converted and we are looking forward to booking again. Over the past few weeks I've really missed the caravan!!

Room Tip: If it's a Sun holiday pay for the upgrade.

“Good long weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We spent a lovely long weekend at Combe Haven, the last weekend of October. We booked via the Daily Mail promotion so in total for 4 of us including passes etc it came to about £140. Well we had a very good weekend indeed, both children enjoyed themselves which is what it's all about for us. The staff were excellent even though it was right at the end of the season. The site itself was clean and well maintained, the shop still stocked which when we have been to other Havens at the end of the season is not always the case. We were slightly unlucky with our caravan which had obviously been smoked in but thankfully only in the en-suite toilet so it wasn't too bad in the rest of the caravan but that smell does permeate through unfortunately. Obviously this may not be the owners fault (this was one that was let out by Haven for owners) it could have been previous holidaymakers. These holidays are what you make them, it is not 4 star luxury but we certainly enjoyed it. The character breakfast we enjoyed on the last day was excellent, the characters spent a tremendous time with each child, we went away with one very very happy little girl. Thank you all !!!!

“Haven Holidays - Combe Haven - Family Fun”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

person found this review helpful

This Haven site is an ideal base for visiting Hastings and surrounding area, The entertainment available onsite is varied and suitable for all ages. The sports facilities including recently built space bowl outdoor flume.

The catering options include Burger King, Papa John's Pizza and a Mash and Barrell Restaurant.

This site benefits with a Sports Bar in the old entertainment complex at the far end of site ideal if you wish to avoid childrens club. The site was clean and the housekeeping team were installing microwaves in all older caravans. New pillows were delivered during stay to replace the older flat polyester pillows from last season.

The site was clean however parking was hard due to lack of disabled bays by disabled caravans. Toilets clean and tidy in main complex and Spar shop large with plenty of choice - some good special offers but worth visiting local shops easily accessible by bus to save money.

Plenty of good attractions to visit locally and good selection of amusements and restaurants available in Hastings. There is enough to keep a family amused at reasonably cost for up to 2 week stay.

If you are an older guest there is still plenty to offer including sports and OAP discounts.

Room Tip: Worth paying for newer models and highest grade you can afford if you require luxury. Bedroom 2 and...
