i didnt take offense at all!!!!i think it is more for the children than the adults,i cant imagine why people go without children?

dh has now decided we probably cant go(right after i stupidly told dc).am cross as children would have loved it.

Has anybody been to Hoseasons Captain's cook haven cottages near Whitby?????

Looks nice and reviews sound good.

Depends on which one you go to. We booked privately last year and went to Lydstep Bay in Wales which is predominantly Haven but it was fab and not at all chavvy. It even has its own private beach. Do be careful though because we were going to go to Ty Mawr and only changed our minds after reading terrible reviews online which we later found were all substantiated.

We once went to a British Holiday Parks place in Essex (we were camping) and it was the worst place I've ever been to (I have even been to Butlins at Minehead).

There were bouncers on the clubhouse door, the facilities were rubbish and the place stank.

I have been to butlins and remember loving it, as an adult, i would have to agree with your friends. Its become very money geared, and dd was "I want, I want" all week, drunks, loud shouting in evening, all fast food restaurants and terrible shows, imopssible to get a seat ect

Haven isn't so bad in my opinion.

Are you looking at caravans? Tents? apartment's or hotels??
