Customer review: "As a family of four, with two dogs, we had a fabulous stay. Everything we could have wanted was there and we had a caravan with a great position close to the beach and swimming pool.
Entertainment was great in the evenings and the site had all that we needed. The caravan was clean and modern. Would recommend and return."

Surfs up at Haven's Perran Sands Holiday Park.

There's also plenty to keep your pooch happy as there are miles of beach and sand dunes to explore and lots to sniff at as you walk along the coastal pathway.

Customer review: "I would highly recommend this park if you have children and/or dogs. I stayed in a dog-friendly 2 bedroom chalet with my eldest nephew and his wife and dog. I was pleasantly surprised at how clean and well-equipped the chalet was, the only things we needed were soap, toilet rolls, washing-up liquid and tea towels. The dunes are amazing for walking your dogs or for kids to play about in. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I didn't want to leave, it was like home from home. To be fair I didn't find the food on site to be overly expensive, it's what you'd expect for the convenience factor. The beach and beach bar at Perranporth are also great. I has fish and chips there, again, not overly expensive for the amount you get and the fish melted in my mouth. Great four days holiday, well worth the trip!"
