Haven holiday site in Berwick upon tweed

[coke71]

I have booked a four night break in october at the haven holiday site in Berwick upon tweed for myself,husband and our two girls aged 8yrs and 12yrs, but I've recently read some terrible reviews ranging from dirty smelly caravans to noisy drunken yobs at 2am, un helpful rude staff etc...........has anyone got any experience of this site I would be grateful to hear from you wether it was good or bad and any tips would be great too.

I can never quite understand questions like this. It's as if you expect the opinions on here to be of a better standard than on a review website, such as this:
http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews87658.html
What you have to remember is, people are far more likely to complain rather than praise, so naturally there will be a bias of bad reviews however, the overwhelming opinion seems to be very poor. It's alsdo worth remembering that the site should be a lot quieter when you're booked than the reviews over the summer.

Could you contact them to ask for a 'pitch' further away from the entertainment centre as the noise would be less and there should not be the problem of as many people passing by.

Of course the real answer is, read the reviews before you book !

Well sometimes the reviews are spiteful and dont represent the site at all.Any opposing site could post on Trip Advisor.

In saying all that -we went there a good few years back and it was brilliant -it was through a Sun holiday.The caravan was ace and they had top secuirity -one of the kids inadvertantly hit the button and within minutes the guy appeared much to our surprise !!
The club was ace and the kids loved the pool.Just a short wee walk into Berwick.
My husband and I went back to berwick upon Tweed a gfew weeks back and hspent a couple of days there in a hotel.I like it -and theres a great Wetherspoons which was full of families and they all seemed happy.
Like everywhere else -you have to balance what youve paid for what youve got.
I personally dont have any negative points -I liked it.

Thanks for that Dris, I always vow to myself I wouldn't read any reviews but I stupidly did on this occassion, your probably right about opposing sites being vindictive and we all know some peolpe just like to complain for the sake of it. We are 'glass half full' people and will make the most of any situation bad or good. but i'll take some cleaning wipes with me just to be on the safe side ;) thanx again Dris x
