This year we went to the Devon Cliffs Haven Holiday park for a week holiday. We stayed in a Bronze Caravan which cost around £600 for a week, this included Entertainment passes for clubs and swimming pool, and linen.

The Caravan
Our Caravan was very nice. As you walked in there was a lounge area which had a television, large table sofa all the way round and a gas fire. With no door, the lounge lead on to the kitchen which included a full size oven, Grill and hob, Sink, Microwave, Kettle, toaster, Basic cutlery, Utensils, Pans and Crockery. There was also a full sized fridge with freezer compartment, A sink with Hot and Cold water and plenty of cupboard space. This then lead on the a small hall area where the second external door came into. On the left was a bathroom complete with a toilet, Sink, Cupboard, mirror and a avery interesting shower bath. Back in the hall the next room you came to was the small bedroom which had to single beds and a wardrobe. It also had removable bunk beds depending on how many kids you had. The next room was a Master bedroom with a Double bed and a large wardrobe. Both Bedrooms were complete with heaters. It was all done very nicely.

The price was dependent on the kind of caravan you had, the cheapest kind was economy, these caravans may be 2 or more years old. The next category was Bronze, (as i explained above) these caravans may be upto 2 Years old. The Silver and Gold caravans where slighly better, these caravans could also check in before everyone else but the price for a gold was around £950

The Park
The Park was an All Action Park which means that there is loads to do there. The park had a great swimming pool complete with three outdoor pools, a 4 lane outdoor slide, two indoor slides, a spa, and a children Play zone in the indoor pool. The indoor pool also had an area for adults to swim. Moving on to the Clubs, there was 2 clubs one called "Capones" and another called "Bugsys" They were both ok, the entertainment was a bit rubbish and the drinks were overally priced. The park also had a huge arcade, fair rides which included Dodgems, Roller coaster, tea Cups, and another ride. The park was right on the beach so you could walk to the end of the park and you were at a beach. The Park also had crazy golf, Go karts, Gift shop and Convienience store (Slightly overpriced) Other features included Holiday Shop where you could buy discounted admission to local attractions. There was also places to eat.

The Area
The park was situated right next to a fun park called "Country Life". It is in Exmouth and signposted. It is fairly easy to find and is near to many places. 1 Hour drive and you are at Paignton Zoo, Babbacombe Model Village, Quaywest WaterPark, Kents Cavern, Crealy Adventure Park. Also just down the road in Cornwall you have the Eden Project.
