- Join us as we show you what you can expect at Weymouth Bay Haven Holiday Park in Dorset. We give you a tour of the caravan, the complex, let you see the facilities and activities and show you what there is to do in the surrounding area. And we give you our Honest review so you can see what is worth doing and not.
Situated in Weymouth about a 5 minutes' drive from the main beach and town you will find Weymouth Bay Haven. Not the biggest Haven site, but by no means the smallest. There is plenty of caravans and plenty to do in the surrounding area, but is it a break that we enjoyed?
Firstly, the caravan - We were staying at Epsom 20, a bronze four berth dog friendly caravan. Unlike some of the Haven budget caravans, we found this to be very spacious and clean. Ideal for people with dogs. Beds were comfortable, with parking right next to it. Towels and bits like that are not provided, so be aware that all those items are required when you visit. Having a dog, we did find that we were sited next to their dog walking area, which was a nice open expanse of green with a few small climbing activities for kids.
The one downside was that in this particular caravan, the tap in the main bathroom had a mind of it's own. Switch it on fully and water soaked the user and the floor! So that was not very impressive. But apart from that it was very nice.
Next the complex - Obviously there is an arcade as soon as you enter, with various grabbing and arcade machines. All there to prize you away from your hard-earned cash. Tickets won can then be exchanged for prizes, but do not expect to walk away with an iPad or anything of value, just buckets of slime or sweets. We found that £130 gave us a return of a lot of Haribo's, some pencils, a book and a cuddly toy - So not a great exchange!
There is the Live Lounge, where the main entertainment takes place and we enjoyed this the first night, but it is very small. And was totally crammed by 7pm. On the second night we tried to go in at 7:30pm, but there was no room. This was the week before the Easter holidays, so how on earth it copes in peak season, we do not know.
For Food - There is a Papa Johns, a Fish and Chip van, The Mash and Barrel and an onsite shop. We tried getting a Papa Johns, but there was a long wait, the Fish and chip shop only took cash! As we did not have enough, we never tried that either. NOTE: There are two fish and Chip shops right outside the park, one of which we tried, it was a lot cheaper, the food was spot on, and they took card...
The Mash and Barrel - This is hit and miss, pending which Haven you go to. In Weymouth Bay the food may have looked like a dog's dinner, but was very tasty and reasonably priced. So that got a tick from us. Worth noting it does have good deals on throughout the week so worth checking out a couple of times if you are staying for longer periods. They are also advertising that they will be getting a Burger King, so hopefully when it is busier, you can always get something to eat.
Activities - This is what Haven does best. Weymouth Bay being no exception. It has indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Our kids loved it as the outdoor section was a narrow channel with a current that swept you around. The indoor one is quite basic, but it was warm and pleasant. No Slides or flumes though..
Then you have Adventure Village, filled with inflatables, The Big Jump, Go-carts, Archery, Segways etc etc. All of these activities do have to be booked in advance and cost between £10 and £25 pending the activity. Case of kids loving it your wallet not..
Location - This is what was the winner for this Haven Site. Weymouth is a beautiful town, has lots of great shops, a stunning Town Central Beach, which very fine sand. You also have a fair at the end, the Helter Skelter donkey rides, all winners in kids eyes.
You also have Bowleaze Cove and the World-Famous Durdle Door all within a 20-minute drive from the site, so plenty to do and see.
Overall, though, did we find Weymouth Bay to be the best Haven and one that we would visit again?
These are our final review scores.
Caravan - 7/10
Activities - 8/10
Location - 8/10
Food - 7/10 (Mash and Barrel)
Complex - 4/10 - The fact that we could not see the entertainment on two of our three nights, let it down for us. So unfortunately, this will be the one reason we would probably not go there again in the near future...

Wow very interesting! waiting ❤
Love your vlog guy's thanks for touring us it might be we visit there as well one day ! Thanks xx
Nahuman ra gihapon nice video . Thanks for sharing.Godbless🙏
Makarelax jud ta diha ba nindot kaau ug view.
Lovely dog
Thank you 😊
We stayed in the exact same park with "Sun Holiday Special "a few years back in September as a family of 4 and we loved it
So this year we are going back on our own as a couple but this time with our dog so were looking at the Sister Site Sea View as it's smaller site which will be ideal with the dog.
Hi, you will have to let us know what the Sea View site is like, if a bit smaller we may well book that up ourselves,as we all loved Weymouth..
Waiting here
You find at all these big holiday parks that you have to get in early for a seat. Those with young kids go early and leave early!
Hi, you are spot on with that. Something we will definitely be doing on future trips...
Nice place to visit talaga
Great review 👍 considering 4 nights here in a couple of weeks time with a 2yo. Would you say theres plenty to do for that age?
Hi, as for Haven itself, they do have lots of events on for youngsters and toddlers, the seaside squad is always a favorite for young ones, just need to make sure you get into the venue in time I.e before 6:30pm. Then Weymouth itself is a lovely town, and if you have the weather, you will probably find yourself spending most of the time on the beaches..hope you enjoy it👍
You can walk to bowleaze cove though the foot path which is a nice walk
Hi and thanks, good to know for dog walkers. We did ask reception and they gave us the driving directions...🙄
Saya Ng holiday vacation
Surely driving to get a takeaway took a lot longer than just waiting half hour for a pizza?
You are probably correct. But if we had been waiting there for 30+ minutes waiting for a pizza, we think the arcade expenses could have been catastrophic...🙄
❤❤❤

Interesting
Watching 😅kay nabusy ganiha
The £100 bag of Haribos & bucket of slime! Arrrrgghh! That's more than a 4 night £69 saver break 😂 😂
Did you tell your kids it might be their last holiday too? Hehe
Lol, yeah, Haven, always seem like a great cheap holiday until you walk into the entrance...Camping next holiday, in a field miles away from arcades...
@@TheHadwinsTV Haha 😂 and from fairground rides, donkeys, ice cream parlours etc :)
saw your last video. unless youre using a caravan loads. ie. retired. its a money pit. plumbing, electrics, gas, insurance ,tyres storage. maintainance etc etc. youre warm dry and comfy in a spacious tent. why.!,!!
Hi, we were looking at all options. Lots of people rate the caravan life, probably as they can be used more times in the year I.e in the colder weather. As it stands, though, we have stuck with a tent and have just treated ourselves to a new vango air tent..so camping for a few more years it is...
@@TheHadwinsTV air b n b in winter with the 2 grand a year cost of caravan ownership savings.
leaving the dog alone is never a good idea
Hi, yeah think you are very correct. It was our first holiday with her and kids wanted to see the clubhouse, so she was not allowed. Think it will be camping for a couple of years so she doesn't feel left out..
I HAVE TAKEN MY PRINCESS MY SELF SHE WAS SO NERVOUS I UNDERSTAND WHY BUT WHEN THE PET WAS AS NERVOUS AS MINE WAS IT IS JUST PRECOUTION HOPE YOUR'S IS OK
Nobody pays tax in Weymouth 😂😂😂
Do not think Scott should have said that, as I am sure they do???🤔
