Advantages: Brilliant facilites, family friendly. Disadvantages: Some caravans are very basic.
Haggerston Castle, Northumberland, has been my families choice of cheap-week away holiday, for the past 4 years, and in this time we have been 4 times. Twice in the summer, once at Easter, and the last in the October Holidays.
Our first experience here was absolutly fantastic, and so we have continued to return, each year. Haggerston Castle, is situated, in the heart of Northumberland. The caravan site, is brilliant for everybody, ranging from couples ... ...week of fun and excitement. Haggerston is filled full of exciting things to do, such as day entertainment, kids entertainment, night entertainment, show bars, restuarants and fast food places, swimming pools, kids clubs and lots more. _ACCOMIDATION_ at Haggerston Castle, ranges from the very basic, to the ultra-luxurious. Every holiday-goer, here is based in a Caravan. The caravans are extremely varied, starting with the very basic, to the almost ...

Advantages: Kids will like it, stables on site!! Disadvantages: Not much in immediate vicinity
...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 ...

...a caravan and pitch at Haggerston Castle , it was a truly dreadful experience. The caravan we were given was a standard plus rating, we took along our two Yorkie dogs, apparantly you can't have anything of a higher rating if you do take your doggy with you. Fair enough,maybe some dog owners don't treat their holiday accomodation with very much respect , but we do and found to our dismay upon arrival we had to pay the price by being presented with ... ...outside it and not mind all the noise and bingo and the like, but if anything, please think carefully before sampling the fish and chips if nothing else.Somehow I don't think we will be buying into the new lifestyle at Haggerston Castle anytime soon.
Pity there isn't a zero rating. ...

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 ...

...Office, they said contact the Haggerston Castle resort direct. Contacted Haggerston Castle “Yep, no problem, we can deal with the refund for you…….”. How long will it take, I asked (it was paid by visa) – “Well, we need to send you out a disclaimer form for you to sign, once we receive it back it will take @10 days to process”. Brilliant, I thought. They had the form there all this time, could have given it to me when I was there, we now have to ...

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 ...

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.

my first experience of this place was in april 2008 when my daughter ,her husband and our 2 grandchildren aged 6years and 9 months went for a 4 night break.
the caravan was clean but very cold. the staff were all very polite and helpful, so my daughter decided on the day we were leaving to book for 7 nights the following april.
this time round (2009) things were very different, despite the fact that my daughter had requested the same standard of ... ...like it . no microwave, we had to pay £21 to hire one .,no toaster, the caravan was grubby, the cups and glasses were filthy, and the whole resort seemed to lack leadership.

stayed here monday to friday from 3rd August 2009. If you want to get completed bladdard drunk amongst 13 to 17 years olds, go fighting and spend hundreds of pounds for a short break then this is the ideal holiday!! The facilities do not accomodate the number of guests. The only thing that is free is swimming and be prepared to queue for 45 mins to be given a pager telling you when to return and queue again to get in!! £27.00 for an adult pass for ... ...The amusements and show bar are ridiculously noisy (can be heard from caravans) the heat is terrible and be prepared for the amount of children the staff sell alcohol to. All activities cost in the region of £10.00 per person for 20 minutes!! Most of these have to be booked well in advance. In 3 days i spent £700.00 and this was not being frivolous!! I left after 3 days as the fighting and drunks were distressing my children and it actually became ...
