Relax & Rewind Holidays

07/07/2025

❓We get asked these questions a lot - so here’s the lowdown!

We want to make booking and staying at our caravan as smooth as possible, so here are a few quick answers to your most frequently asked questions:

🗓️ Q: Why do you offer set break dates?
A: We follow the same changeover days as Haven because they only allow entertainment passes to be purchased for set check-in/check-out days. We’ve occasionally made exceptions for guests who don’t want passes - just message us and we’ll see what we can do!

🎟️ Q: Are Haven entertainment passes included?
A: Passes aren’t included, as Haven doesn’t allow private owners to purchase them for guests. But don’t worry once your deposit is paid, and guest form is complete, we’ll register your stay and Haven will email you a link to buy passes directly if you want them!

🕒 Q: What are the check-in and check-out times?
A: Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 10am. This gives our lovely cleaners time to make sure everything is spotless and ready for you!

If you're staying with us and fancy a magical day out, Alnwick Castle is a must-visit! Just under an hour’s drive from the caravan, it’s perfect for all ages and full of charm, history, and a bit of movie magic too… 🎬 (Yes, Harry Potter fans this is where Hogwarts came to life!)

What’s there to explore?
🌟 Step inside the stunning state rooms
🧙‍♂️ Try your hand at broomstick training on the very lawn where Harry first flew
🎭 Enjoy live performances and medieval reenactments
🌺 Wander the breathtaking Alnwick Gardens – home to the Grand Cascade, a Poison Garden, a treehouse café, and beautiful seasonal blooms

🌊✨ Planning to visit Holy Island during your stay? ✨🌊

Just a short drive from the caravan, Holy Island (Lindisfarne) is one of the most magical spots on the Northumberland coast — rich in history, breathtaking views, and a truly peaceful atmosphere. 🏰🌾

But don’t forget - access to the island is tide dependent, so you'll need to plan your trip around the safe crossing times! 🕰️🚗

The causeway floods at high tide and becomes impassable, so always check before you go!

It’s absolutely worth the effort - whether you’re visiting the priory ruins, the castle, or just enjoying a peaceful wander with views across the sea. Add it to your adventure list while staying with us! 🌅🗺️

🌧️ Rainy day at the coast? No worries! 🌧️

Even when the weather turns a little soggy, there’s still plenty to keep the family entertained during your stay at our Berwick caravan!

Here are a few rainy day favourites right on-site and in the comfort of the caravan:

🧸 Make-a-Bear - Haven’s own cuddly experience! A brilliant creative activity for the little ones to take home a handmade holiday memory.

🏊 Indoor Pool Fun - Don’t let the rain stop the splashing! Head to the indoor pool for some water-filled adventures, whatever the weather.

🎲 Cosy Caravan Vibes - Inside the caravan, you’ll find games, puzzles, and colouring books – perfect for winding down, staying dry, and keeping everyone entertained. Add in a cuppa and a good film on the Smart TV, and you’ve got a perfect rainy day plan! ☕📺

A little rain never ruins the fun around here, it just means a different kind of cosy adventure. 💛

Tell us, what's your go-to rainy day activity when on holiday?

I do love to share about local businesses and this time Im sharing one of the lovely individuals at the local Market held every 2nd Sunday of the month (next one 11th May) at Condundrum Farm.

Her wax melts are gorgeous and in some cute little shapes too. Well worth a visit to find a favourite smell!

The enjoyment doesn't have to stop when you go home either, as Wax can post them to your home too.
