Are Haven Holidays dog friendly?

Dogs are welcome at the majority of Haven Holiday Parks, but not all. Lots of parks offer specific dog-friendly accommodation and have designated areas where dogs are allowed, including certain beaches and walking trails. However, there are some sites with restrictions so it’s always recommended to check the individual park’s policy when booking, as there may be differences in availability, pricing and rules regarding pets across different locations. The only two Haven resorts I could find that don’t offer any dog-friendly accommodation options were Riviere Sands in Cornwall and Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset – but check with the individual holiday parks before booking if you’re not sure what’s available.

Can I pay in monthly instalments for my Haven Holiday?

Yes, you can pay for Haven holidays monthly, which makes planning a family getaway more manageable. When you book, you typically pay a small initial deposit to secure your reservation. After that, the remaining balance can be spread out over several months, allowing you to make regular monthly payments. This flexible payment plan helps you budget for your holiday without the need to pay a large lump sum upfront. The full balance is usually required to be paid a few weeks before your holiday start date.

How can I save money on my Haven holiday?

I hope that this article helps you to find the perfect holiday parks for your Haven beach getaways – there are some fabulous options here! When booking your Haven holiday you’ll actually be given two price options – one for the full shebang with access to the pools and entertainment complexes etc included, and another which just includes your accommodation. The second option is usually considerably cheaper, so if you’re unlikely to use the facilities that can be a good way to save money on your Haven holiday. Haven also offer LOADS of very cheap deals out of season and for last-minute breaks, so if you’re flexible on the destination it can be easy to find good deals around your chosen dates.
