    We are regulars to saver caravans and never had any issues, always spotless. They're a base for getting out and about. Couldn't afford a week's hotel prices in Edinburgh, so we stayed at Haven Port Seton for £69 off peak and travelled in by bus from the park entrance every day.

      We've not tried Seton yet, but I like the idea of getting the bus into Edinburgh. Thanks 👍

      If I go to Edinburgh I stay at the Hostelling Scotland's youth hostel a 5-10 minute walk from the city centre. Depending on the time of year, you can usually get quite a good deal. Private, no frills rooms are also reasonably priced. However, it's best to avoid Edinburgh in August!

    All you do in a caravan is wash and sleep. The rest of the time you should be out enjoying a holiday. This is a lot better than a tent or an old motor home.

    We use these caravan often. They are just a base. As we are retired, we go outside peak times and get great deals(Mon-Fri £49). Far cheaper then we can get a pitch (let alone the bedding/electric/etc/no towing) for our own van!

    We always stay in a saver caravan on that site when visiting Cornwall mainly only use it as a base, our last visit was this May this year, with our Daughter and family, also this time spent most evenings in the club house. I am approaching my mid 80’s my wife late 70’s., we first started visiting this part of Cornwall over 40 years ago when our children were young, they now take us.

    We book a Haven Saver twice a year in either Kent, West Sussex or Suffolk. We go in mid May and then mid September and we only pay £45 per week for us both, this value cannot be beaten as it is the same unit as the one shown in this video. So believe it or not the two of us get two holidays for just £90 in total. Tremendous value if you book at the right time of year and we have never had bad weather. 😆😆

    I once stayed in a Saver caravan and didn't have a very positive experience with it and got put off, so we've gone for Bronze or higher ever since and they are so much better. Although this Saver one definitely is something different and actually pretty nice, just two foot narrower in width! Occasionally, some features found on Silver grades and higher CAN make their way into Saver and Bronze (such as the 40" TV in lounge, bedroom TV, dishwasher, hairdryer, en suite, etc.) if you are lucky! :)

    Stayed at several Haven sites around the UK. As someone has already said, It is just a place to eat and sleep unless you have kids and use the site facilities. Unfortunately a lot does depend on the site you choose. Some have caravans packed together and you can hear everything going on in your neighbours van. Other sites the parking is an issue especially when some holidaymakers turn up with two or more cars. At other sites l have used, there is a lack of staff. Generally the vans are clean, but l have experienced issues and now always take some floor wipes for the kitchen and bathroom areas. The remote tv controls are usual broken. Haven also money grab as you can't select the location of your van until you have paid for the holiday. They then send you an email saying choose your location but you will have to pay more. All these issues l have reported back to Haven over the last few years to no avail. So choose carefully which site you stay at and read reviews.

    We stayed in one of these for the first time in Skegness, and it was brilliant.

    It was clean and tidy, with all the things you need to have a great self-catering holiday.
    We have two dogs, and there are not a lot of places where you can go that accept pets, but some Haven sites do, and it was in with the cost of the caravan.

Your comment about the sticker on the door, isn't 'crime scene' it's to signify that the caravan has been cleaned and ready for occupancy.

    For the cheapest Haven site prices, book direct with the site not, the company.
    Used to have a couple of breaks each year when the kids were small oh, and don’t go mid summer when it is expensive.
    The “all action” sites are the most expensive, the smaller family sites are good enough and all have swimming pools.

    We had a caravan at Park Dean holiday park Carmarthen Bay site
    in June.
    When we got to our designated caravan there was a really awful smell outside the van.
    Guess what ……. It was only right next to a sewage works.
    The stench had permeated all through the Caravan, we went to reception to complain and were told
    “ well nobody else has complained!!!! and there were no alternative vans available.
    Half hour later they had found one, we went to look at it and quickly realised it was a sh..t pit.
    Awful to say the least which was a shame because I must admit most of the park is quite good.

    Probably been said already but that is not a saver caravan. You may have booked and paid for a saver van but you have been given an upgrade to a much better spec one, probably 2 up like a silver or whatever they are called these days. Savers have no central heating and certainly no dishwasher, en-suite or tv in the bedroom.

    • @BigTedsTravel
      @BigTedsTravel  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @retrogeezer It was definitely a saver caravan and not an upgrade (you can tell from the seal on the door). Most saver caravans do have central heating, we have only had one that didn't. I think this one was classed as a saver because it was quite small (bronze and silver are guaranteed to be at least 12ft wide). The dishwasher was a bonus, we have stayed in silver vans which didn't have one.
