Sunny breaks for less with Haven Holidays
If you live in Devon and fancy a proper break without paying through the nose, this guide makes sense of the current Haven Holidays deals. I checked their site and rounded up the ways locals and families can save, plus a handful of practical tips that actually work. Read on and you might spot a way to shave a few pounds off your next caravan or lodge stay.
Can you get Haven Holidays discount?
Short answer: Haven regularly runs sales and time limited offers, but there is no permanent publicly listed national health service discount at the moment. That said, they often have early booking discounts, off peak rates and flash deals during seasonal promotions like summer sales and Black Friday. Sometimes they also run voucher codes for extras such as free child places or discounted extras which can make a holiday much cheaper overall. Here on This is Devon we keep an eye on those timed deals, so if a health service specific offer appears we will highlight it straight away.
Why Haven is a good choice for Devon families
Haven parks are close to beaches and family friendly. That means you can swap expensive days out for a short walk to the sand. The facilities, from pools to kids clubs, save hassle and can lower overall costs. You get value from included entertainment and on site activities, which means fewer separate spending decisions during your stay.
How to save with Haven Holidays
Here are practical moves that work well for folks in Devon who want to keep holiday spending sensible. These are the bits people actually use when planning a break around school terms or a long weekend.
- Book early and look for early saver fares. Booking months ahead often gets the best caravan prices and a wider choice of pitches and lodges.
- Choose off peak dates. Midweek stays and late season breaks are usually much cheaper than school holidays, and the weather can still be decent enough for beach walks.
- Check what extras are included. A break can feel cheaper if meals and entertainment are covered. Compare packages with and without extras to see which gives the most value.
- Sign up to newsletters. It sounds obvious but the welcome codes and exclusive offers are often worth the sign up, especially if you plan to holiday with children several times a year.
Saving money with Haven Holidays
Let me explain three specific hacks that make a real difference when booking with Haven.
- Use cashback and voucher sites. Before you pay, check cashback sites and major voucher aggregators. They sometimes list discount codes or cashback percentages that stack with Haven offers.
- Bundle travel and extras. If you need car parking, bed linen or activity passes, buy them as part of the booking if the bundled price is lower than adding them on later.
- Be flexible on accommodation type. A standard caravan booked early can be far cheaper than a last minute premium lodge. If you can compromise on some comforts you can stay more often for less.
Other brands that are worth a look
If you want alternatives, Virgin Holidays and Just Go Holidays also post frequent deals and sometimes run NHS friendly offers. They tend to promote package savings and seasonal bargains that may suit families who want flights or full board. It pays to compare all three when you are planning a stay, especially if you need flexibility for dates or special medical requirements.
How Devon residents can make the best savings
Living in Devon gives you a neat advantage. You can pick parks that are closer to home and cut travel costs, or book short breaks that avoid school holiday premiums. Use local transport hubs and consider off site grocery runs to keep food bills down. Our This is Devon pages are updated often, so bookmark the page and check back before major sale periods like Black Friday or spring offers. We refresh codes and share timing tips so you do not miss the best windows.
Practical, everyday tips
When packing, bring basics like board games, favourite snacks and kitchen staples from home to avoid impulse spending at the park shop. You know what? A well stocked thermos and a picnic can turn a rainy day into a great cheap memory. And always read cancellation and amendment terms, because last minute changes can add hidden costs if you are not careful.
Haven offers a lot for families, and with a bit of planning you can stretch your holiday budget further. Keep an eye on newsletters, check voucher sites before you click pay, and be flexible with dates. We watch Haven deals closely for Devon readers and update our listings the moment new offers appear, so you can plan a break without the stress of searching every site yourself.
