Haven Reveal Nostalgia for Seaside Breaks as Holiday Homes Become Increasingly Popular
(firmenpresse) - HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/12 -- Recent research carried out by Haven has revealed that in a society driven by technology and consumerism the one thing that stressed out families are really yearning for is a safe secure environment by the sea where children can roam free-range and adults can relax.
They say, 'We've noticed a real nostalgia for seaside breaks. Building sandcastles on the beach, skimming stones in the sea, fish and chips, crab-fishing, games of beach cricket and jumping over waves with your trousers rolled up. Timeless family fun where, as one respondent put it, 'You can feel that breeze-y feeling and smell the seaside in the air.'
But for many people it seems falling back in love with Britain's coast doesn't just stop at a weekend break and the attraction of a holiday home by the sea becomes more than just a dream. It's the realisation that you can jump in the car and head out of town and be in a completely different (and much more relaxing) environment with plenty of green space, not just once in a while but whenever you want. For some families this means regular weekend jaunts and for most of the school holidays.
Despite the economic climate, sales of have held up well and Haven are optimistic about the future, saying, 'We believe many people are re-evaluating what's important to them. Owning a holiday home is a lifestyle option that provides a real antidote to everyday stress. It's the seaside atmosphere, choice of facilities without rushing around and the chance to just kick your shoes off and chill out that many families and couples crave - that sigh of relief when you drive through the gates and realise you can switch off.'
Ownership is an option at 34 of their holiday parks and Haven are fortunate in having on parks in some of Britain's favourite coastal spots. Rockley Park enjoys similar lovely views of Poole Harbour to Sandbanks, the renowned millionaire's housing strip; Devon Cliffs overlooks the World Heritage Coastline near Exmouth and Caister, Britain's oldest holiday park has the same direct access to the East Coast of Britain that has drawn people here for more than a century. You can spot dolphins from Quay West new New Quay; combine a backdrop of mountains with gorgeous coastal views in North Wales and surf in Cornwall.
This year Haven are planning new developments to make their environments even more inviting with smaller communities of caravans clustered around play areas and gardens, additional landscaping throughout the parks, bright breezy cafes to enjoy indulgent cream teas and restaurants that capture the essence of their seaside locations - whilst the new 'summer house' area at Combe Haven has been positioned to maximise the views of the sea and south coast. Caister (Britain's first ever holiday park) will have a brand new contemporary ShowBar to host the star acts appearing in 2012.
Every Haven park has indoor heated leisure pools and next season there will be new and super-enhanced water-based attractions at several parks, including a lazy river at , a lovely new outdoor pool at Wild Duck and plenty of family splash-fun at Kiln Park with slides and an outdoor dancing water play area. Greenacres will have a new pool that's just for owners.
But it's not just about the facilities and the activities available on park. Owners on Haven parks enjoy a range of additional benefits that help promote the community feel and inclusive social life. Anne Price, who together with husband Byron has owned a holiday home on Kiln Park for years said 'We have so many friends here. We're part of a lovely crowd of people. I really look forward to enjoying an evening out at Kiln Park or Tenby. I've been doing it ever since I met Byron and I still love it!'
Next year Haven owners will be able to enjoy all sorts of additional benefits including use of exclusive facilities (these vary from park to park but can include lounges, bars, spa and gym facilities); 'owners only' sessions in the swimming pools and social events ranging from breakfast gatherings through to the popular owners balls. There's a monthly 'Big Weekend' with themed party nights, wine club and special experiences including chocolate workshops, crocodile Joe and his reptile friends and other activities. And owners are issued with a Privilege Card that not only makes on-park shopping easier but also provides discounts on everything you buy.
If a bolt-hole by the sea sounds tempting, a caravan is reassuringly affordable compared with traditional bricks and mortar. on a wide choice of Haven parks are available from less than GBP 14,000 (including the first year's insurance and site fees) so it's possible to see whether holiday home ownerships suits your lifestyle without it costing the earth. And Haven offer a managed letting scheme which will help you to recoup some of the costs in return for making your holiday home available for some of the year.
