Perched on a clifftop above the North Sea in Northumberland, Berwick Holiday Centre has earned its AA 5 Gold Star rating - and one look at the view tells you why. You're also within walking distance of the historic border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Two sandy beaches lie just below the park, so pack the buckets and spades! Rain or shine, the heated indoor and outdoor pools keep everyone happy and the kids will be straight down the indoor water chute.
Head to the Brigs of Tweed restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner, then round off the evening with entertainment at the ShowBar. By day, try your hand at archery coaching, Junior Segways or NERF Training Camp.
Bamburgh Castle and the Farne Islands - home to famous puffin colonies - make a great day trip and Alnwick Castle isn't far either. Bring the dog too: there are designated areas for them throughout the park.
Whatever the Northumberland weather throws at you, Berwick Holiday Centre keeps you active. Both the indoor and outdoor pools are heated, so you can dip in whenever the mood takes you - and the kids will want to head straight for the indoor water chute.
Fancy a kickabout? The multi-use sports court is there for football or basketball at your own pace. Junior Segways let the children get to grips with the Ninebot miniPRO machines and weave through obstacle courses - it's brilliant fun to watch.
Archery coaching sessions run with expert instructors on hand to guide you toward that bullseye. Or hire bikes through Halfords, helmets and locks included and explore the park and coastline further afield.
The Football Dartboard challenge tests your aim on a giant target and suits anyone from six years up. NERF Training Camp - exclusive to Haven parks - mixes paintball-style excitement with the speed and agility of basketball.
Little ones can join Activitots to try the basics of sport, while older children develop their skills at Activikids. Throwing, catching, jumping, balancing and team play all feature, with activity leaders guiding the whole family through every session.
Some activities are subject to a moderate extra charge
The Brigs of Tweed bar and restaurant is the heart of dining at Berwick Holiday Centre, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's a relaxed spot to sit down for a proper meal or just enjoy a few holiday drinks - and well-behaved dogs are welcome on the terrace too, which is a nice touch.
On a lazy evening, order from Papa Johns and have quality pizza delivered straight to your caravan, or collect it as a takeaway. Made fresh, it goes down well after a day exploring the coast.
Cook's Fish & Chips brings proper seaside flavour to your holiday, with generous portions that hit the spot exactly when you want them to.
Pop into the Mini Market for everyday essentials, meals and hot snacks - handy for breakfast supplies or a quick bite between activities. It's also worth a browse for last-minute souvenirs to take home.
Come evening, the ShowBar is where everyone gathers for entertainment and drinks. It's the social hub of the park, with three levels of seating and the main level fully accessible.
There's plenty to keep the kids busy at Berwick.
They can get stuck into den building, or meet the Seaside Squad mascots at interactive sessions designed with the whole family in mind.
Budding athletes will love the Mini Sports sessions too - a great way to burn off energy and pick up new skills together.
Berwick Holiday Centre offers caravans and lodges to suit different family sizes and budgets. Saver grade gives you simple, good-value accommodation, while Bronze grade steps up to clean, basic caravans at excellent value - ideal if you plan to spend most of your time out exploring rather than indoors.
Move up to Silver grade and you'll get a decking area with seating and a larger fridge freezer, while Signature caravans come with stunning lakeside or sea views, decking and towels included. Gold grade adds wrap-around decking, a dishwasher and allocated parking and Signature Gold combines those sea or lakeside views with all the Gold features. Every caravan is equipped for a self-catering break.
For more space, the lodges are worth considering. The Emerald Lodge sleeps up to six across three bedrooms, with decking, allocated parking and an extra toilet. Lodge holidays start from four nights and come with upgraded fixtures and fittings throughout.
Bringing the dog? Designated pet-friendly caravans mean your four-legged family member can join in too, with walking areas nearby and access to a dog-friendly beach.
The park layout is worth knowing before you book: some accommodation sits on level ground near the main complex, while other areas - The Glen, The Dunes and The Cheviots - slope down away from it. Headlands View, Jedburgh Court and Fairway View sit closest to the facilities, which is worth bearing in mind if you have a pushchair or mobility needs. The furthest accommodation is around a 15-minute walk from the main complex.
Two sandy beaches sit directly below Berwick Holiday Centre. Steep steps lead down to the sand where you can swim fish or simply relax watching the waves. Spittal Beach nearby is popular for water sports and makes a great spot for a proper beach day.
Berwick-upon-Tweed itself is just a short walk from the park. This historic Elizabethan-walled town straddles the England-Scotland border and rewards exploration. Walk the complete circuit of the town walls for fantastic views. The streets hold independent shops cafes and plenty of history to discover.
Bamburgh Castle stands about 15 miles south and ranks among England's finest coastal fortresses. It towers 150 feet above the shoreline and looks absolutely stunning. The castle interior is open to visitors and the beach below is gorgeous.
The RNLI Grace Darling Museum tells the story of the Victorian heroine who helped rescue survivors from the SS Forfarshire in 1838. It's a fascinating piece of local maritime history that brings the coastline's past to life.
Alnwick Castle offers a full day out with grounds to explore and various experiences throughout the year. Harry Potter fans will recognise it as the original Hogwarts exterior! The Alnwick Garden next door features the famous Poison Garden and spectacular water features.
Boat trips to the Farne Islands run from nearby Seahouses. These islands are home to thousands of puffins during breeding season plus grey seals and other seabirds. Getting close to the wildlife is an unforgettable experience for children and adults alike.
The Northumberland coastline stretches in both directions with walking routes along clifftops and beaches. Holy Island sits further north and can be reached by causeway at low tide. Check the crossing times carefully! The island holds Lindisfarne Priory and makes for a memorable day trip.
Berwick-upon-Tweed train station is just one mile from the park with regular services to Edinburgh and London King's Cross via Newcastle.
Guests regularly praise the stunning clifftop location and excellent value accommodation. The Bronze caravans get positive comments for being clean and modern despite the budget-friendly price point.
Families mention the friendly Northumberland welcome and easy check-in process. The bingo nights win fans for their great prizes and fun atmosphere. The location near beaches and Berwick town centre gets frequent mentions as a highlight.
Berwick has some new shows and activities on offer this year. Football Fun Factory now welcomes kids and parents of all ages, with age-appropriate groups and story-driven sessions for the youngest players.
There's also a new arrival with a nostalgic twist: The Tiger Club Show brings back that 90s Haven feel, so get ready to dance along together.
