STANDING on stage, shaking it off to the sounds of Taylor Swift, three little wannabes got their first taste of superstardom.

Our children performed in a live show in front of hundreds of holidaymakers at Haven’s flagship resort, Devon Cliffs.

Its new MusiKids experience enables fun-loving youngsters, aged from three to 12, to work with stage professionals to put on a full-scale production, from learning the steps, to taking their final bow.

Faces beaming, our kids and their new-found show friends, lapped up the applause.

Sandy Bay is a long, red stretch of sand at the bottom of the towering cliffs that give the resort its name.

It’s a stunning spot, and a peaceful place to take a breather after the nonstop action at the resort.

Another place to enjoy the sea views was from the wrap-around decking on our three-bedroom caravan. We stayed in a Platinum model which featured a revolving armchair, perfect for taking in the sweeping vista from all angles, plus there was a TV in every room.

We also enjoyed soaking up the sun in the on-site clifftop South Beach bar and restaurant, which serves slightly fancier food (£15 for a sumptuous fish pie).

But with so much to do we didn’t sit down for long.

We loved the huge pool complex. Our pre-school-
