We have always dreamt of owning a holiday home on the Spanish mainland. With concerns about security and also acknowledging how infrequently we would be likely to make use of somewhere abroad while we’re both working full time in our business, we realised it just wasn’t going to work for us. That’s when I started looking at holiday homes in the UK.

We have friends who own a lodge on the East Coast and so invited them round for drinks to chat through what they liked about it, what they wished they had known before they bought it and things they might have done differently and with that information, I started my search.

I reviewed lots of places online and Patrington Haven Leisure Park seemed to fit the bill. We arranged a visit and bought a caravan the same day! With hindsight, that could have been a mistake but the place just ‘felt’ right. Josie who showed us round was lovely and not pushy at all. We were shown a range of caravans within our budget and we went for a mid-range on a lovely sunny garden plot. The peace of mind of having a 12-month guarantee was another selling point, as was the fact that the site doesn’t insist you upgrade your caravan at any specific age – as long as it’s maintained well, there is no age limit which is quite unusual.

The buying process was really straight forward and the help from all the team was fabulous.

After 6 months, a much newer, slightly larger caravan came up for sale at the side of the lake. Steve is a keen fisherman and the fishing lake was a ‘must have’ for us when choosing the site, so when a lodge became available, we decided to go for it!

We would have been very happy if this was our permanent Patrington holiday home but when Josie told us there was a double size lodge coming up for sale two doors down, it was too good an opportunity to miss and so around 15 months later, we moved once more. Again, Josie and the team have been so helpful in making sure that everything is just right for us. But that’s it now, I’ve promised Steve no more moves!

Whether it’s an older caravan or one of the super new models, buying is a serious investment but one we haven’t regretted for a minute. We live just over two hours away so initially intended to visit alternate weekends, but we tend to come out every weekend if we don’t have plans at home.

Despite having a full kitchen with all the kit, I rarely cook as both the food and staff at Guys are fabulous. The entertainment programme adds to the holiday ‘vibe’ and we always try to make it to the special Owner Select events – something our friends who own at a site further up the coast are quite jealous of!

The minute you drive on to the park, with its beautifully maintained grounds, you immediately relax. The other owners have been very welcoming and there’s a real sense of community and loyalty to the site which speaks for itself.

We love it and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of holiday home ownership.

Five Stars!

Josie is really friendly and personal, she has gone out of her way to help us find our feet!

All of it is lovely, it’s the best choice we have made, so beautiful!

When we arrived at the Park, we thought how lovely it looked.

Very clean and tidy, flower beds and shrubs are all well kept.

Josie and the team are really friendly, we feel like we are visiting our own family whenever we are here, everyone is so welcoming.

Josie explained all of our paperwork in detail, her motivation and commitment to help us find the perfect holiday home, and garden plot was 100%.

We also love the fact that our daily refuse and garden waste is collected from our garden plot! Very handy!

Such a lovely happy team at Patrington Haven Leisure Park.

Josie, for all the time and effort she has made on our behalf. We needed a lot of reassurance before we bought again but her patience in responding to all our questions has been most commendable. We feel that we have been well looked after and we hope you will please tell her this.
When you do a stressful job the chance to unwind in pleasant surroundings is so important.

We chose to upgrade our caravan and stay on Patrington Haven Leisure Park after being here for 9 years. It’s the best park on the East Coast. It’s a family run park with family values. We wouldn’t be anywhere else.

Big thank you to Nick who helped us from start to finish. Both with the paperwork and practical aspect of moving caravans. His support and communication has been excellent throughout. Also Guy and the rest of the team from office to grounds men. You’re all stars!

We enjoy the pool, the walks, the events, the food and the people on the park the most. The facilities are top class. I love coming here and relaxing and catching up with friends. I also love that we don’t have to wade through wet grass and puddles to get in and out of the caravan. Patrington Haven Leisure Park is so much more than that!

When we first came to the park 9 years ago I said it was a hidden jewel on the east coast …and it still is.

Since moving to the area 4 years ago we have been using the country club and all its facilities.

We always enjoy coming to The Country Club, the whole family has a membership and we come to the gym almost daily.

The gym is well stocked and the range of classes available are great for all ages.

This is a great way for us to spend time together with our children and socialise with the other wonderful members from Patrington Haven.

The gym and club are always clean, everyone that works there is happy and they can give you information and advice if required, they are amazing.
