Haven Holiday site suggestions

I'm looking for Haven holiday recommendations. We've been to Craig Tara, Haggerston Castle, Both Blackpool parks and Presthaven Beach.

Things we like:
good indoor swimming and outdoor swimming
entertainment
close to a beach
not far from a town centre

We've also been looking at Cleethrorpes but we've very unsure as we've heard mixed reviews.
Any honest opinions would be really helpful!

I would also consider Parkdean. Having done both, we now only choose Parkdean. Vauxhall in Great Yarmouth is brilliant, we went this year since their big makeover and loved it.

Haggeston Castle at Berwick is lovely.

Thornwick Park at Flamborough has most of what you wanted.

Cleethorpes as a place is pretty dire so I wouldnt be rushing to go there!

Seton Sands is directly across the road from a beach.
Rockley Park, Poole is next to a shingle beach. However it's also next to a military base with helicopters taking off and landing all the time.
However my favourite, purely for the var at the top of the cliff, is Devon Cliffs, Exmouth.

Perran Sands Cornwall. Beautiful place 😍

Primrose Valley is good, one of our favourites. Reighton Sands is just around the corner but not as big.

Weymouth Bay and Sea View in Dorset are both good too.

Really enjoyed Haven Caister.

Hated Haven Wild Duck.

We have been to a few and really liked Primrose Valley. The swimming pool is really good and there is lots to do in the local area. I am boycotting Haven until they get rid of the ridiculous swim slot allocation though!

We've only been to Devon Cliffs but it was good there and we would definitely go again, the beach is part of the site although the access is steep! The entertainment was fine, there were 2 venues. The indoor swimming pool was a bit small, the outside one was fine.
We also tried Parkdean Camber Sands which put us off going to another Parkdean again! Next week we are off to Sandyballs which is an Away resorts site.

I've been going to Haven for years but they didn't deal with noise from all night parties in Berwick last year and there was raw sewage running from the park. I'll maybe return to Haggerston next year.

Ohh God thats awful.

We were there last year (mid august) and had no issues with noise or sewage. We go again in a few weeks so hoping its OK again!

We loved Haven Caister, although it's indoor swimming only. Rockley Park was also pretty good with lots nearby and both indoor and outdoor pools.
