Family Holiday Reviews And Special Offers
Sea Fizz, Brighton Marina - reviewed by Zena, Jamie, Beth and Benn (pictured below)
It was just a short journey from Cherry Tree Housekeeping to Brighton Marina. You feel kind of special as you drive through the central road past the restaurants and through the barrier to the very exclusive looking apartments. As we parked our car in the decent sized garage we climbed one set of stairs and through open the doors to explore our home for the weekend. I have to say that the photographs I had seen of Sea Fizz do not do this chic apartment justice. The attention to detail with our comfort in mind was gratefully received, fluffy pillows, comfy beds, huge sofa all appreciated by kids and adults alike. The designer bathroom, one for the kids and an en suite for us showed the same eye for design. And practically the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed and more. The beach to the east of the flat was a minutes walk away, clean and a welcome relief from the heat as the children swam and we paddled. Our stroll along the board walk in the evening was delightful as we took in the relaxing atmosphere. As I sat on the balcony to watch the sunset I couldn't have wished to be anywhere else. And later when we reluctantly packed our things into the car the children insisted that I promised to take them back next year. To find out more about Sea Fizz you can use the form on the website here or email info@seafizzbrighton.co.uk, they'd love to hear from you!

The facilities really kept the kids going, the pool complex with space bowl entertained the older children and if you're I would recommend a visit to this holiday park, it gave the children constant entertainment and gave adults the chance to sit back and relax, what else could you ask for?"

Having time and fun together is at the heart of every Haven family holiday and now you can enjoy an unforgettable family holiday with savings of up to 50%*!
"Swap a sun lounger for a site seeing adventure and English tradition with a historic holiday to Pool House at 
Following a devastating fire in the 1930’s, it remains one of England’s most stunning ruins, with glorious gardens. Pool House, Witley Court’s accompanying holiday cottage, is the largest of English Heritage’s portfolio of 15 holiday cottages, sleeping up to eight guests, plus a cot - perfect for larger families or groups of friends. The cottage boasts four spacious double bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms and two of which are twins.
On the ground floor relax in the spacious sitting room, realise dreams of becoming a master chef in the large kitchen and dining room, while the kids tell Witley Court’s ghostly tales in the second sitting room or play in the sheltered, private garden. Wake each morning inspired by the views, take breakfast on the French-styled, covered terrace and spend the days discovering history on the doorstep, before enjoying a private stroll through the rolling gardens, thanks to the ‘out of hours’ access. 
"Pros: affordable, in the UK, indoor and outdoor attractions for children of all ages throughout the day and evening, comprehensive facilities, everything one place. Cons: basic accomodation up two flights of outside stairs, tiny bathroom, busy, not very much to keep grown-ups occupied, basic food avaliable. We went to Bogner Regis but think one of the other sites with a spa might have been better for us Mums. And our appartment was on the top floor, not great to lug everything, buggy and 3 young children up and down several times a day. I would have expected Butlins to be a bit more considerate. Bathroom was also the size of a cupboard. In summary, fantastic for the children, but not for Mums." Visit 
going to choose one activity to book make it the fun inflatable session, as the children raced over the inflatable assault course the adults rolled with laughter, the team member in charge of this session was great fun and got to know the children instantly. The adventure playground was a good size and the football pitch kept the children going for an entire evening. The on site shop had everything we needed and the Mash and Barrel Bar was very well kept.
