...Here" some years back for Haggerston Castle In Northumberland. It looked pretty good and is five star rated, so I searched the Haven site for this park. I ended up booking a 3 star caravan (Aug 11th - 18th 2007) as this was the cheapest option. It cost £349 for the full week with all passes for the 4 of us included. I thought this was quite reasonable for 4 people in the height of summer, but I was a little wary as we usually book gold (sometimes ...
...on holiday which had SLATED haggerston castle! Anyway, we grabbed the keys and headed for the van. The first thing I noticed was that the carpet was filthy. However, it was hardly surprising as the heavy rain had created a lot of mud! We'd literally only just stepped into the van when there was a knock on the door. One of the housekeeping team had been instructed to clean the carpets! Happy Days! (We'd been stuck in traffic due to a bad accident ... Read review

Advantages: Close to the sea, plenty of activities for children, good value food.
Disadvantages: very large and busy,

...Would I return? Haggerston Castle is obviously a well run and loved holiday park for many people. I would consider going again but at a quieter time and not at the end of the season. It was too busy for me. I also felt that there could have been more activities available for toddlers. I was most surprised to find no softplay area for them to have a run around in on wet days. Ensure you take a drive around Northumberland as there are some beautiful ... Read review

Advantages: Everything you need is on site.
Disadvantages: The list is a long one.

...We finally made a decision. Haggerston Castle, Northumberland near Berwick-Upon-Tweed, staying in a Silver 3 bedroom caravan which sleeps 8 people. We managed to bag a good deal, the price was £366 inc bedlinen, and funworks passes for the whole family, a bargain I thought. Normally the price would have been double this amount. The week booked was for August the 11th 2007 to August 18th 2007. We chose this site because it promised lots of on site ...
...fish and chip shop, even a Chinese restaurant, and activities for all the family, plus lots more, whatever the weather. It also had a 5 star rating. Being a large family of seven, of varying ages this sounded like the ideal holiday. We set off on our holiday in the early hours of the morning, arriving at 8.am on the 11th August 07. The length of the journey was 5 hours long with one stop for breakfast. Everyone was excited and raring to go. On our ... Read review

Advantages: TV in the caravan
Disadvantages: too many to mention

We picked Haggerston Castle as our destination for our first family holiday. We booked a Silver caravan for 4 adults and 2 children (aged 1 year and 1year 6 months), including funworks passes and it cost us approx £250 for 4 nights (mon - fri) It wasn't a far trip from Glasgow in the car - just enough for the kids. As we only had one car, the men went by train which cost them £17 each single and then £8 in a taxi from Berwick to the resort. Our ...
...previous and it was a lot nicer then. We were given a room with bunkbeds for the 2 kids (please bear in mind their ages) and ended up having to hire a cot bed. The entertainment in park is mainly aimed towards older kids. There was absolutly nothing for our kids to do other than go swimming. The kids club was available, but everywhere was so open and with so many kids about in relation to staff, i didn't feel comfortable leaving my son with them. ... Read review

Advantages: Great Chinese Buffet Restaurant on site. Good location. V. near A1
Disadvantages: V. near A1. Extortionate price at shops/takeaways on site.

...Haven would be a great place to take kids, but we always book a bit out of season, and usually save up the tokens in the Sun newspaper, so we usually get a great cheap deal. The Place Haggerston Castle is set back off the A1 in Northumberland. The site is 7 miles away from Berwick upon Tweed. It is also North of Alnwick & Alnwick Castle &Gardens which is efianately worth a visit. There are a host of things to do in the area as it lies on the edge of Northumberland National Park, and is close to Bamburgh, Alnwick, Berwick and Holy Island. You are also within driving disatnce of sections of Hadrians Wall - Also well worth a visit. The Site It has the usual array of family friendly entertainment, and that silly bloody tiger. The games arcade is pretty sizeable, and noisy as hell. The site itself is big, and we were located... Read review
