So, my critique on Haven's Hopton Holiday Village near Great Yarmouth.

We went to the pleasure beach at Great Yarmouth, Pettitts Animal Farm and Pleasure Wood Hills, plus saw the sand sculpture festival on Great Yarmouth beach, played crazy golf and spent a lot of time on the campsite enjoying the facilities, also spent a couple of days on the beach.

We won the bumper prize draw one evening plus the wildest, wackiest table competition one night. Maddie also won a competition one day and got to lead the animal parade around the room, Zack entered the fancy dress competition but didn't win. We joined in most of the morning activities and all of the evening ones. The site was totally geared up for kids and they had a fantastic time.

All in all, a really good holiday - I would definitely book with Haven holidays again whilst the kids are young - but would choose a different campsite next year simply for variety.

Great Yarmouth had plenty of things to do and I don't think we really spent enough time exploring but we never ran out of things to do.
