[@jaynebowring2915]

Went here in August...Was brilliant.

[@danwilliams6428]

Glad you had a great holiday

[@J.Marrs76]

Many thanks for this excellent video. It's a great help we are considering going here next year. I'd recommend Haven Craig Tara site in Scotland.

[@danwilliams6428]

Glad you found the video helpful. Would highly recommend going to Hafan as it's a really good site with lots to do. If you do decide to go hope you have a great holiday

[@edits4u983]

I will be going for the first time since 2018 and I’m so excited. I have lots of memories even though this will only be my second time going. My personal favourite is the swimming pool!

[@danwilliams6428]

Nice hope you have a great time when you visit. Yeah the swimming pool is great there. Some of the slides were closed when we visited but still had a great time.

[@goldengamer9045]

[@danwilliams6428]

Thanks for watching Tony and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. We had a great time there and are itching to go there again.

[@layneinchains848]

Awesome, I took the little one here 3 years ago, just enjoyed my nostalgia trip 😂👍🏻

[@danwilliams6428]

Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you had a great time on your last visit.

I worked at Hafan Y mor during the 2022 season (and will be returning in 2023) as a delivery driver for Burger king and occasionally papa johns (i drove the golf cart seen at 10:08). seeing the park again brought back a load of memories.

[@danwilliams6428]

Ahhh cool you might have delivered papa johns to us whilst we stayed on site. If it was you I thank you kindly for the delivery.

[@hollyoxley9673]

We are coming here on Monday I can't wait but I've never been we have always gone to greenacres

[@danwilliams6428]

I’m sure you’ll have a great time at Hafan Y Mor. We had an amazing time, so much to do and so little time 😂

[@rick161179]

I was there when it was a Butlins on the 14th Aug 1989. Of all things a Tornado stormed through the park, we had to sleep on the floor of the cinema and the park was shut down for the rest of the season.

[@danwilliams6428]

Wow that’s a crazy story, thank you for sharing. It’s mad thinking the UK used to have tornados.

[@laurastevens4317]

Yay

[@MellowGaming]

This place looks a bit more up market than the Haven and Butlins I went to as a kid. They had a certain air of griminess to them. I remember the Butlins one mostly these days. Had arcades and a cinema and I did the hokey kokey with Dave Benson Philips. He tried to show off by jumping a small knee high fence but caught his foot and face planted. He laughed it off though.

[@Jemmyleedoesart]

It really is better than I remember, they’ve definitely put effort into it since the old Butlins days! I went as a young child in the early 90s, and don’t remember much; went again as a teenager, and there still wasn’t much besides the club, arcade and beach. It’s fantastic now! Will definitely be going again 😃

[@danwilliams6428]

Amazing that you got to dance with Dave Benson Philips. Yeah they’ve really invested a lot into the holiday camps to make them desirable destinations. This was one I visited a lot back in the Butlins days, I had fun then but it’s night and day when looking at what it is now. Thanks for watching

[@danwilliams6428]

Oh yeah we’ll be sure to go again in the future as I’m still missing being there.

[@ItsMeArya0]

I stayed in parklands it was amazing in seven came home not that long ago

[@wajidhussain4154]

I whent before lockdown amazing place

[@danwilliams6428]

Yeah it’s a really great camp, will be visiting again for sure

[@Back2Humanity]

I'm here researching for my first family holiday ever in august

[@danwilliams6428]

I’m sure you’ll have a great time at Hafan. By the end of our time there we didn’t want to come home as we had a great week

[@charliegreen7103]

Great video thank you

[@danwilliams6428]

Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching

[@stevenedwards2162]

Went when it was Butlins in 1972 with my best mate as 17 year olds my first holiday without my parents, the only thing that looks familiar was when you crossed over the railway bridge , I think it was better when it was Butlins , or maybe I'm getting old .😢

[@danwilliams6428]

Yeah I can see why a lot of people would prefer the Butlins version. Especially if they have nostalgic memories for the Butlins days. I used to stay there in the 90s when it was still Butlins and one or two things looked the same. In general the site has received an overhaul. Thank you for watching the video and I hope you enjoyed it

@@danwilliams6428 I worked there in 95 and 96. I worked in the restaurant on the south side opposite the boating lake. That’s one of a few original buildings.

[@danwilliams6428]

@@chriggle1 oh wow bet you have some great memories of working there. 95/96 might have been when I visited when it was a Butlins. So you never know our paths might have crossed 😃

[@gamingwithannie575]

This is the exact caravan I have booked in a few weeks time! Do you have any pictures from inside?

[@danwilliams6428]

I have videos and such from the inside but it's more home video style than how I filmed this one. To be honest the pictures on the Haven website for that caravan are very accurate to what you get. Hope you have a great time when you visit

[@gamingwithannie575]

Fab thank you! The two single beds are they able to be pushed together, do u know? It's to stop my wee boy falling off lol🙈

[@danwilliams6428]

Not sure to be honest as we didn't try. However I suggest he sleeps in the bed next to the window in the room as the top of the bed is in between a wardrobe and the wall. So hopefully less chance of him falling out.

[@gamingwithannie575]

Thanks so much for replying! Hope you had a great time!

[@perf3ct-_-driftr780]

Going here for 2 weeks again and just curious , when is the slim chicken open and closed ? Loved the tour 👍

[@danwilliams6428]

I think Slim Chicken is open from around midday and then closes around 10pm time. Thanks for checking out the video and glad you enjoyed it

[@perf3ct-_-driftr780]

@@danwilliams6428 Thankyou very much for telling me , can’t wait to see more 👍🔥

[@HappyGabi08]

Is there stuff you can take a toddler on? Looks great.

[@danwilliams6428]

Our little one is 4 and is little for her age and we took her on the playground which she loved. She went on the family bike which I went past in the video, we went swimming and there's 2 soft play areas which she loved going into. Didn't get a chance to try the pedalos which you can take little ones on. We thought she might want to try the mini aerial adventure which is designed for the little ones but she wasn't keen on it. So there's options for the little ones :)

[@r95kfw]

Is this site near the beach?

[@danwilliams6428]

Yes there is a beach onsite which is nice. However about a 20 min drive away is Black Rock Sands which is a massive beach. We went to Black Rock for the afternoon during our stay

@danwilliams6428 Thanks for the reply 🫡
