We enjoyed Haven a great time at caravan

-

My family and I went back to the future this summer with a break at Port Seton on the picturesqu­e east coast of Scotland.

While staying at the Haven Seton Sands Caravan Park, my Auntie Mag revealed that the family of my Great Granda Harry McGoldrick had a holiday hut situated by Port Seton beach in the 1950s.

Mag went to visit when she was young, so it was nice for us to gather there again as a family in 2020!

I had never been to this park before and I was so excited as I love caravan holidays.

My mum, gran, Auntie Mag, Auntie JoJo, Auntie Lorraine and my big cousin Alanna all came along.

My gran always packs lots of homemade food, and I especially love her potato scones – yum, yum.

We were staying in a prestige caravan with decking in a lovely area of the park, and the weather was great throughout our break.

Due to the COVID situation, Haven Holidays are a little different in 2020 and they have made some changes to their usual Haven Experience to comply with restrictio­ns.

Now called Haven Hideaway, there were limited facilities open, but I didn’t really mind as there was still lots to do outdoors and in the local area.

My mum always brings lots of board games to play at night and our pop-up badminton game, so there was always something to do and I was never bored at all. Alanna and I took part in the park’s socially distanced activities together.

The first activity we tried was archery, which was a lot of fun.

We then had a go on the segways, which was a little tricky to start off with, but then we both got the hang of it and were whizzing around and even going backwards!

We also had a go on the go karts which you were able to use all over the park to get around on and we really loved doing this as it was a lot of fun.

We also visited the beach just beside the park which was nice and quite quiet.

We all travelled to a few different places during our stay, and I especially loved our trip to Portobello which is a lovely seaside town with lots of nice shops for the ladies (I hate shopping grrrrr).

B ut there was an amazing beach there which was beside all the shops and we spent a few hours playing on the sand and in the sea which was very cold.

I think that this is the nicest beach I have ever been to!

I can’t wait to go back to this park as I had a brilliant time and would so recommend families to book here.

Even with limited facilities that are available at the moment, it is still a great holiday!
