On our drive to see the park for the first time it was pouring with rain and looking really miserable, as we arrived at PHLP the sun came out. Was this a sign we asked ourselves!
As we drove towards the reception, we commented how beautiful the flower beds looked. What a fantastic first impression.

We had arranged to meet Josie who gave us a very friendly welcome. We sat down with a coffee and discussed what we were looking for. Josie was very knowledgeable not only about the park and facilities, but also about the different models of caravans that would suit our needs.

Josie gave us a guided tour of the leisure club and park, all areas were spotlessly clean and everyone we passed had a smile on their face. Josie seemed to know everyone and they were all happy to see her. Everyone said hello, the dogs love her.

We had a lovely lunch in Guy’s restaurant, all the staff were very happy, friendly and helpful.

Josie then showed us some caravans that may have suited and garden plots to place them. We could not make our minds up about the caravan but knew Patrington Haven Leisure Park was the place we wanted to be. We had looked at 5 different parks before Patrington Haven Leisure Park and they did not come close to the friendliness and cleanliness of PHLP.

Not once did we feel pressured to commit to anything, we said we would go home and discuss caravan choice and get back to Josie. After a few days of discussion we decided neither caravan or garden plot were right for us. Josie said she would look for something else and get back to us.

Josie stuck to her word and got back to us with a different caravan and more choice of garden plots. We arranged to view on a Sunday, just so we could try the carvery. The carvery was fantastic, the caravan was perfect and so was the garden plot. Just like the man from Del-Monte we both said YES.

The whole process has been made so easy and stress free by all of the staff at PHLP. We took hold of our keys on 20th November and can’t wait to enjoy all that Patrington Haven Leisure Park has to offer.

We were very warmly greeted by Marland. He discussed our requirements and after a few questions, he proceeded to show us 3 caravans that met our criteria. He showed us around some of the park, answering all our questions fully.

Overall it was a very pleasant experience and we didn’t feel pressured at any time. It was a warm day and it was nice to be offered cool refreshments as well as the option of coffee. We felt we were listened to and our views were taken into consideration.

Handover day was handled professionally and paperwork was explained so that we fully understood the process. A checklist was completed whilst we were at the caravan and any issues noted for action. Very thorough and very professional.

It was nice that Marland remembered my husband’s love of coffee and that he likes it strong (small things can make a big impression). The staff on reception were attentive and very efficient.

We have had a very positive experience with Patrington and are so excited about the years to come.

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 onto 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.

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.

First session of the toddler swimming was brilliant, will be coming every week!
We have missed it, charlie loved it, thankyou to the lady who took it, very professional.

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!
