On our first night, we discovered a bed bug infestation in our caravan, killing about 30 bugs, most full of blood (see picture). After a difficult night, we went to reception and were given the choice to leave or stay with the bugs. Eventually, we were moved to a new caravan, but only after hours of cleaning and laundry. Though offered a refund, we were dissatisfied with the response from Adam and arranged a meeting with the Manager of Experience, Sam Goddard. Sam informed us that Haven's policy is to send people home, even with bed bugs. He insisted they wouldn’t knowingly place guests in infested caravans, but management showed little accountability and poor customer service. When we pressed the issue, Sam accused us of shouting, stormed off, and even threatened to call security on us—despite my 75-year-old mother being present. Our holiday was ruined by both the bed bugs and the unprofessional, threatening behavior from management, who consistently evaded responsibility. Weeks later, we remain worried we may have brought the infestation home. Even head office have still not taken responsibility for poor management and bed bug infestation. They even suggested we go to Citizens Advice Bureau. Shocking! Sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite!
